Pretty cool stuff! Wonder if he could fit a camel through the eye of a needle?

I think I saw that on Mr. Wizard's World. It is a very cool trick. I hope he does one where he puts then whole world into a Klein Bottle [Wink]

I'd be interested in seeing the diagram for how one would slice that without folding (say, with an X-acto knife). It would help me translate the one-dimensional cuts to the three-dimensional world.

Well I just found a way to make some cheap money, "Hey buddy, $50 says I can crawl through a hole in this card!"

Its equivalent to making two series of zig-zag cuts across both halves of the card. When you're doing the last cutting step you're cutting the parts that would be holding the middle together.
