I also did it some time ago where I showed two of my classmates my bitcoin wallet then the amount inside it as well as its price in my local currency and as usual they get curious too and asked how is it considered as a money or how it can used to buy some stuffs and how can I convert it into cash . I explained to them how can bitcoin works and how it can be used as a medium of exchange or payment, why it has a value and lastly how am I earning it .
I did something similar. Showed my Bitcoin Wallet to my friends which had about 600 USD worth of bitcoin. They were mightily impressed and then I also placed an order on Overstock to show them that this money actually worked. First I had their curiosity, now I had their attention.

3 of them are already dabbling in bitcoin and altcoins after that.
