Diagrammed (“disegni”) by P. D’Auria, and designer anonymous (“anonimo”). Taught (“divulgatori”) by F. Nocerino and P. D’Auria. Michel Grand independently referenced the listing on Gilad’s Origami Page. The material is a phone card from Telefonica, and the crease pattern is similar to what I remembered, except that the clicking section is half of the card width where I would divide the width into thirds. This fits with that I learned two methods from Mark and Deg. Now I have to figure out how to handle copyright of Anonymous. Intuitively I interpret such behaviour as an intention to spread the model freely; at least that was meant by other origami designers I met who chose to be anonymous.

[Origami] Who designed the metro ticket clicker?
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
