Paper Manipulation

Troublewit (paper scoring and folding)

description

In 1896 'The Strand' magazine reported that the illusionist David Devant had 'electrified the audience' at the Egyptian Hall (in London) with his dextrous displays of paperfolding. The paperfolding in question was a technique known as 'Troublewit' in which a large sheet of stiff paper, which has been pre-creased into a geometric grid, is quickly manipulated into many remarkable forms. Troublewit may well have originated in China.
