Normaly i´m a Magican over 20 years. Only the last two years i´ve started to collect and rebuild impossible Foldings.
I started with this trick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2NbcJgS7Nw
it also uses no glue etc. It´s totaly impromptu and can be done with a borrowed buisiness card. It´s more a puzzle then a magic trick.

Early in this thread the rule was set out that adhesives are not allowed. I do not think anyone has used any, yourself included.

...I think the only new rule that Ralf introduced us to was "no hidden cuts" - and I happen to know that counts out one of the designs that I had in my blog post... :shock:

What are you calling a hidden cut? Putting a cut underneath another piece, similar to as if you had glued it?

Sorry but you wanted to tell me that this card is without hidden cuts?

I don´t think it´s realy without a "Trick".

Again my Rules: No Hidden cuts, or /and Glue. All the Cards an Bills can be handed out as a souvenir. They never can find a hidden cut or joins (is that right?) or glue or any other trick because there is nothing to see.

as much as i hate to see playing cards bent, cut, torn or in anyway ruined, these are actually really clever, considering the ones with no glue or hidden cuts etc. :D
