Thanks for posting. This video nearly gave me goose bumps (it's just too cold for that). Last year my 8 year old granddaughter gave me a fold very, very similar, that a lady at McDonalds gave to her in exchange for a jumping frog. My granddaughter said that I would be able to figure it out. Such confidence. The boxes would all line up in two positions. There were some hand drawn numbers, to show some magic, because it switched from red numbers to black numbers (if I remember correctly). I worked at reverse engineering the very small fold, and got quite close, but not quite. Now, to find it, (I should have left it where it didn't belong) and try it with larger paper.
Since you had to reverse engineer it, are there any diagrams, or even a CP anywhere? I'm not fond of CPs, but I think in this case, that would be sufficient for folding. Or any hints on proportion? I seem to remember it being a unique ratio.

I got interested in such model and reverse engineered it from a video that was linked in the mentioned thread. I extended, compressed and rotated it many times as in the video. I kept the folded model in a box I take to conventions to keep my models in and last weekend during one session of the Colombian convention while I was showing it to someone, I accidentally twisted the model and a box was formed. I continued twisting and another box was formed and then another box. You can see what I mean at: http://youtu.be/Zby8JKznd3c I checked other videos of this model and all they show is the model being extended, collapsed and rotated but not the boxes. So did I accidentally discovered this feature? I encourage people to fold this model, because it is a lot of fun. -- Jorge Jaramillo
