Forgive me if this is the wrong forum for this. . .

In an old Genii, Peter Samelson reminices about meeting Avner the Eccentric for the first time. He tells the story of how Avner borrowed a business card, and with a pair of folding scissors cut out a unicorn.
I've tried looking in books of Krigami and several paper craft books, to no avail. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

Thanks!
Matt

I attended a lecture by Avner and he did this 'routine' while telling a charming story.Was very memorable.

all the best,

Remember, never play leap frog witha unicorn.

Hi again

I know there wasn't much response on this post, or much activity on the forum, but I thought I'd try again. Has anyone seen anything about this?

John, thanks for your help. Do you remember any other details? Was it a sillouette of a unicorn? Just the head? Do you remember anything about the story?

Thanks again for any help anyone can give. I'm really interested in this, it sounds like a charming giveaway.

Matt

Seems intresting but can anyone elobrate the effect..

Hi

There really isn't an effect, per se. It's more along the lines of folding an origami rose, or the bunny bill.

Thanks

Matt

Cutting a unicorn was first created by Ken Feit. Ken was an amazing performer, but not a magician. He was a storyteller, and the unicorn was cut from flash paper. As he passed the unicorn near a candle flame it went up in a flash. This was part of a ceremony he call The Fool's Mass. Ken was a Jesuit priest who left the priesthood to take on a life as an itinerant fool. You can read the only book about him and his stories if you are lucky enough to find the book Foolish Wisdom.

Thanks for the help Man Ray

Now I have a name with which to start my search.

LOL! I'll remember this advice!
