Review – Self-Working Handkerchief Magic

Self-Working Handkerchief Magic

Self-Working Handkerchief Magic, Karl Fulves. Dover Press, 1988.

Fulves has a number of collections of simple magic tricks. I enjoy playing with some of them even though I’d never perform them for others. My interest in origami stretches to cloth folding as well, and this book includes a “handkerchief mouse” that my dad used to make. Bruce Tognazzini used to talk about magic as a metaphor for user interfaces; I think it stretches to other things too. (Reviewed May, ’04)
