Troublewit

[timbrown]

Is there a good reference book or publication with clear directions for folding a a Troublewit? A cursory search of the internet hasn't resulted in much although I did find directions for "Troublewit-like" items that were interesting . I would really like to learn how to fold a Troublewit (like the one that I purchased from Magic Inc. years ago) and would greatly appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

I have the intructions as a Word file.

Can't remember where I found them, though.

I could e-mail them to you.

Having e-mailed it to two people, I Googled for Troublewit.

If anybody else wants it, here's where to look - http://www.sgi.com/misc/grafica/fold/page001.html

Magic Inc. still has troublewits for sale. They are the colored ones judging from the website.

Dave... I don't think that instruction is for a troublewit... it is a nice scuplpture but doesn't look like a Twit...

Thanks Dave for the instructions. As Pete said they aren't for the Troublewit (at least not like the one that I bought from Magic Inc.). I "reverse engineered" the one that I have and pretty much figured out how to do it although my paper isn't quite the right size or texture and my proportions are a little off. It isn't too difficult on an origami scale but it takes a little time to do it correctly.

The Frank Herman book is just great. I consider it the "dictionary" for Troublewit users.

Check: http://www.midwestmagic.net/html/Search ... Troublewit


Or Google Search: Frank Herman, Troublewit

Enjoy the search,

Oops. Sorry 'bout that.

I came across that web page years ago when researching some Origami-based effect, and saved it 'cos "it might come in useful some time". I had no idea what a Troublewit was, nor what one did with it. And when the question was asked here, I remembered the name and dug out the file.

I must find out what a Troublewit really is.
