Also known as the “annoying clicker”, enormously fun. Only backsides are that it requires a plastic metro ticket, and that other people gradually, but surprisingly fast, begins to hate you ...
I learned it at the Stratford BOS convention, in two variations from Mark Kennedy and Deg Farelly, no less. I remember they told that it became widely know after a convention i New York - where the use in classes quickly became prohibited ... I think one of them told me the clicker was invented in Rome, using their metro tickets. But I do not remember by whom? And sadly I cannot ask Mark or Deg anymore. I got printed some 0.22 mm plastic business cards (PET, Polyethylene terephthalate from MorningPrint.com) which work very well for the purpose. Teaching origami to 80 high school students, I maliciously ended my session teaching them the clicker, right before their next lectures ... had almost 80 students clicking loudly when I left :-) I would like to make diagrams and use them publicly. There are already some YouTube videos, but I cannot se any attributions :-( Best regards, Hans Hans Dybkjær papirfoldning.dk Society: foldning.dk
