Origami!

I know artists aren't magicians, but sometimes it really does seem as though there's magic at work. For instance, origami. How can a single piece of uncut piece of paper be turned into so many amazingly complicated things? I don't know. But check it out:

For more origami magic, Brian Chan has a fun video of him folding Wall*E. I loved Brian's Kraken.
