I know this one realy bends the rules - a lot but here goes. The only question is if you can consider cellophane as paper?

LOL, well actually that completely shatters the rules... but I'll allow it because it's so cool.

That is singularly fantastic! You definitely have all aces on the table! How on earth did you make those? That is very clever.

Hm, just from the look of it, I'd say they are made from a fish base.

I first thought that all of the cards made out of the same piece of paper. Now that would be really impressive.

Finward...

! That's a wonderful color change.

It's also a pretty great hand.

Finward is really clever!

Thanks for all yur kind replies. And no, they're not from a fish base. I'll try to make diagrams, or photodiagrams or at least a video for these.

Prince Porter the Pessimist and Arch-Duke Olfred the Optimist discovered magic elixir. This magic liquid could only be seen when viewed from the side of a milky colored goblet. To gain the benefit of this magic brew you must drink exactly ¼ of the capacity of the goblet.

Prince Poter moaned, “One of us is doomed, the glass is less than half full” From this picture it appears that he was correct.

Arch-Duke Ofred exckaimed with glee, “This Goblet is clearly more than half full” He was right, Just look at this picture of the same goblet.

Both were right and now you can see why !
A simple push and pull and the same goblet fulfills either vision.

My original "Kaleidoscopic Twister" AKA "Doc's Fireworks" was a twisting/rotating display folded from one rectangle of craft paper.

I have slightly modified this model and folded it in Cellophane. Unless you know a few tricks this is an insanely difficult fold but the results are truely Kaleidoscopic.

Instructions for folding the original are on Sara Adam's Youtube site.
