The Elephant Trick

Ask your friends to imagine any number in the range of 1 to 10, and ensure that he doesn’t speak that aloud. Now ask them to multiply the number with 2. Now it’s time to add 8 to the outcome of the previous calculation. Once done, now divide it by 2. Whatever number comes up, ask your pals to subtract the number he had imagined first. Now it’s time to convert the digit into the corresponding letter of the English alphabet. So, if you come up with 4 (see, I already know the answer), you should convert it into ‘D’.

Now take up a country’s name that starts with the same letter. Suppose, it’s ‘Denmark’ you thought of. Now think of an animal starting with a skipped letter, for instance, it must start with ‘E’ in this case. Now imagine the colour of that animal. So now you have one country, one animal and one colour.

Trick Explanation

This trick is designed in such a way, that whatever number you choose, in the end, the calculation ends up at 4. So the country you choose shall start with D, and the animal starts with E, which most often comes out to be an elephant. And the colour would be Grey.
