Folded Page Books are an unusual art form, and Tim’s friend Gerard Darby returns to the Grand Illusions studio to show some extraordinary examples.
In some cases, every page in the book is folded in exactly the same way – normally there are several folds. This will mean that instead of the edges of the pages being flat, there will now be a three dimensional shape.
However it is also possible to gradually vary the folding as you work through the pages of the book, which creates a more complex 3D shape.

thank you Tim!! 😊
Has Tim met his match?? 👋
Tim constantly interrupting and talking over him always makes these awkward viewings for me. Funny though.
Excellent, thank you!
Are you the guy from curiosity show?
Amazing stuff!
genius idea to cut out pictures so the book's plot becomes readily viewable.
The return of the Dynamic Duo!! 🙌
Thanks!
Beautiful
Please get Tim dental work
I would love a TV show of this, kinda like Antique Road Show but it's of toys and gimmicks of all sorts.
The first book Gerard presents looks like the hoof of a Clydesdale horse.
Its always nice to see Gerard Darby back for a part 3. Wonderful collection of folded books.
The last one was such a work of art, I could stare at it as much as I would a Munch painting or a Picasso. I must try it one day.
Nice to see Gerard make another visit! I've seem your book art pieces before Tim, but my goodness all these other ones yoi've shown today are crazy! The level of patience alone to make something like that is well beyond me.
That is quite fascinating! Lovely craftwork done on something as banal and unassuming as a textbook.
Hey dear grandpa 🙂 I came here to sleep.
This man is an international treasure and should be protected at all cost
Always a pleasure.
Yoooo those are so cool!
I gave only discovered your channel today August 2022, but some of your "toys" are very interesting and fun.
This video demonstrates a craft/hobby called book folding. I have done several myself with some simple or complicated, intricate pictures and/or messages. There are two different techniques folding and cut and fold.
It's very time consuming as each page has to be exact to less than 1mm of accuracy but can be really gorgeous.
Cut and fold is the most demanding in terms of concentration and time, as cuts once made, cannot be uncut.
I had to stop doing them in the end as they take up quite a lot of room to display. I used to decorate the covers as well and give them as gifts as well as kept some myself.
I had to stop making them in the end as we all ran out of room to display them properly.
Keep giving fun with your toys! 😀
