Hello,

I found on the web an AMAZING Hypercard, done by Jack Bottermans (who wrote many book on puzzle, paper fold,....); It's completely Smile
Check this out in the attachment !
Firstly, I just wanted to share it with you Smile
Secondly, I would love to make it myself Smile (as an impossible object amateur)
Does anyone know something about this Hypercard ? Is it possible to do it just with cut and fold !? And there is an extra trick to it....

Enjoy it anyway, and any help would be greatly appreciated Smile

Sorry for my excitement!
Is just ****yzed the picture and found the well hidden cuts on each side...
So it is a nice twist on basic HyperCard; But not an impossible object!

(Without those 2 cuts, it is really amazing!)

Nicolas,
You should check out Tom Frame's recent book, The Hypercard Project. It teaches the original hypercard, some cool variations, some history, and some tricks. It also includes a few interesting playing cards that make the hypercard seem even more impossible. If you do buy the book, ask Tom for Dave Le Fevre's clever method of making an endless supply of the cards (or, ask Dave directly, via the Café).

Cool stuff!

Thanks Magiguy,
I already have the book and wrote a small review here on the Café !
The thing is that the hypercard is not a real impossible object (if handled, you can find out easely). Yes if stapled, you can not reverse the thing but still not really my "tea cup" (this expression exist in English ? Smile

With the attach image (see first post), the card look lile a real nice impossible object !! (until I discovered it is just a variation of the Hypercard)

Anyway, thanks for your help !

The English idiom you want is 'not my cup of tea'.

But I love hearing English idioms recycled through another language. Sometimes you get to hear how silly English really is. Other times, you find real poetry. Smile
