"Origami has a certain magic about it--transforming single sheets of ordinary paper into seemingly impossible shapes. Throw in a healthy dose of magic tricks, puzzles and illusions, and you're ready to astound your friends and family with your amazing talents! In no time you'll be able to perform stunts that professional magicians do--without having to buy expensive props. Paper-folding experts Steve and Megumi Biddle reveal all the tricks of the trade right here in this box. Clear instructions are provided to help you expertly assemble the magic models, and then they show you how to perform the tricks and produce the illusions smoothly and professionally the very first time! The origami models presented in this kit are of four types: * Amazing Tricks ranging from the incredible Bewitched Boat, which alters course as a child holds its bow, to the cunning Magic Box, from which objects disappear before your very eyes. * Perplexing Puzzles including the Inside-Out Puzzle, which challenges you to turn a paper box inside out in three folds, and the Pyramids and String--where you remove a string from a card without tearing or cutting it. * Impossible Illusions involve fitting a larger box inside a smaller one, and making money disappear inside a paper purse...and then reappear again! * Mysterious Transformations like the Möbius Strip, which turns a simple strip of paper into two curiously interlocking loops with just a well-placed tear!"--
