Hey guys,
Years (and years) ago, I learnt how to fold rectangular pieces of paper together to make a giant circle. You were then able to slide the pieces against each other towards the center, and the entire thing turned into a star.
Does anyone know what this was called and where I can find it? I'd love to learn this again as it was very magical!
Thanks

Thanks to Sterling, aka Lefty, for his help on workin' this out.

Robert Neale, his one of his origami (not magic) books has something like this.

I've taught it to high schoolers as part of a listening/following directions lesson. The movement of the pieces to form a octagan frisbee or a star coaster was well received.

I agree - this does sound very interesting! Can anyone supply a reference for where one can learn this?
Best,
David

It is a modular fold that requires 8 square pieces of paper. YouTube link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g9v7X80ypM
It is not difficult. Good luck.
