1.7. ME SPIN LONG TIME FOR YOU BY BENNETT ARNSTEIN
SIMPLE
ME SPIN LONG TIME FOR YOU by Bennett Arnstein Page 1 This is a blow top that spins for a long time after you stop blowing. Start with the traditional windmill (pinwheel) invented by Frederick Froebel.

1
Fold the slanted edge up against the vertical centerline.
Bisect the angle at the tip of one blade. Allow the crease to run under the next blade. Note that the slanted edge is folded up against the horizontal centerline.

Note the three creases: a, b & c. "a" is a 45 crease made when the pinwheel was first folded. "b" was made in step 1, and "c" was made in step 2.
Fold creases a, b, and c all at the same time. Push where shown and the mountain crease will form automatically as the blade moves to the position of step 3. Each blade has now been folded to its final position and then unfolded.
6
This is the final position of the first blade. Unfold the blade to the position of step 4, and fold steps 1 - 6 on the other three blades.
7
C Bennett Arnstein 1 / 31 / 2006 14
Now fold all four blades to the final position, one at a time, so that each blade lies on top of the blade next to it.

Slide the fourth blade under the first blade and over the third.
The folding is finished, but the blow top is not finished.
13
14
Holding the octagon base in one hand, slightly lift up the four blades with the other hand by grasping the tip of one blade and gently pulling up. Place the top in the palm of one hand and massage it with the thumb of the other hand so that the entire top, base + blades, becomes rounded, concave side upwards.
15
Place the top on a smooth hard clean dry horizontal surface and blow gently straight down at the center. If the base was flat with a sharp point at the center, it would not spin as long because any slight unbalance would cause it to tip over and rub on the horizontal surface. The rounded bottom of the base prevents any small unbalance from slowing down the spinning. C Bennett Arnstein 2 / 1 / 2006

1.8. 8-WINDMILL OCTAGON MEDALLION BY PAVARIN & YAMAUCHI
SIMPLE
8-WINDMILL OCTAGON MEDALLION Franco Pavarin's "Girandola" Page 1 Start with the traditional windmill, invented by Frederick Froebel, with the four vanes sticking straight up from the base.
1
2
Swing the rear vane and the front vane both to the left, along existing creases.
Hold the left vane in your left hand and the right vane in your right hand. Mountain-fold the diagonal of the square base so the rear vane and the front vane both swing down and meet below the mountain crease.
POCKET
X8
4
TAB
Fold both layers of the right point back along existing creases, forming a pocket. Note the slanted closed crease on the inside, which is the tab. The module is finished. Make 8 modules. When two modules are connected, the pocket of the first module gets wrapped around the tab of the second.
3
A small sailboat has been formed, with two points at the left end and one point at the right end. Wrap the rear left point forward around the two vertical closed creases so it ends up behind the front left point.

The pocket of the second module has been wrapped around the tab of the third.
Move the sail of the third module from behind to in front of the sail of the second module.
10
9
Continue connecting modules until eight modules have been connected. Then connect the eighth module to the first one. In order to get the pocket of the eighth module around the tab of the first one it will be necessary to disconnect the sail of the second module from the first one, and then re-connect it after the eighth and the first have been connected. Make sure that each sail lies in front of the sail of the previous module. This is the front side of the medallion.
This is the back side of the medallion.
C Bennett Arnstein 6 / 5 / 2008
The next page shows how to make the medallion spin.

1.8. 8-WINDMILL OCTAGON MEDALLION BY PAVARIN & YAMAUCHI
SIMPLE
HOW TO MAKE THE 8-WINDMILL OCTAGON MEDALLION SPIN by Yami Yamauchi Make a blow-top spinner from a ninth windmill, using the same size square as was used for the eight windmills to make the medallion. Attach the blow-top to the back side of the medallion by inserting the vanes of the blow-top between the modules of the medallion. This will be illustrated using a "Me Spin Long Time For You" blow-top (see enclosed diagrams.)
2
Fold a "Me Spin Long Time For You" blow-top with its vanes pointing in the opposite direction, so that when the blow-top is turned upside-down they will be pointing in the correct direction. Then turn it upside-down and insert the vanes into the back side of the medallion as shown in step 1.
1
First inspect the back side of the medallion. Notice which direction the vanes of the blow-top must enter the spaces between the modules. For the medallion shown, the vanes of the blow-top must enter in a counter-clockwise direction.
BLOW-TOP
MEDALLION
C Bennett Arnstein 6 / 5 / 2008
3
The blow-top has been attached to the back side of the medallion. The medallion will spin if you blow down on the front side, but it will spin faster and longer if you spin it by hand. Spin it on a smooth hard dry clean horizontal surface.

BIRD BRACELET -This fold transforms a long strip into a decorated closed loop (bracelet, hat band, belt,...). In the body of the strip segments measuring (6 by 2 ) units fold into flying bird emblems measuring (2 by 1) units , while at the join a 2 unit strip inserts into 2 units at the other end.To fold a bracelet make two choices (i)the required circumference, C cm. say; and (ii)The number of flying birds, F say. Since each flying bird is 2 units long and there are F of them C cm = 2F units or 1 unit = C/(2F) cm For example my head is close to 60 cm around.. For a hat band of circumference C = 60 cm containing F = 5 flying birds. 1 unit = C/(2F) = 60/10 = 6cm. The required strip ,allowing for 2 units overlap has dimensions [(6F + 2) by 2 ] units, ie 32 by 2 units The circumference of the bracelet is one third of (the original strip less the 2 unit overlap.).When folded from a 32 by 2 unit strip; the bracelet is 10 units around and 1 unit wide. The diagrams show a 5 bird bracelet ; to change the number of birds simply alter the length of the original strip by 6 units for each additional bird. The following diagrams are for a bracelet with white birds on a coloured background. For coloured birds on a white background make the obvious alteration.
1 White side up. Precrease into 32 bands by first creasing in half, then in quarters, then in eighths, then sixteenths , then thirtyseconds.
2 Crease diagonals of 15 squares; 2 by 1 bands at each end are uncreased.

Comments 1. To enhance bracelet appearance bow the middle slightly so that top and bottom edge rings are marginally smaller than in the centre of the band. . 2. If initially a long strip of paper is not to hand , cutting a square into a number of narrow strips and taping these end to end provides one long strip.

3.12. COMMON RAVEN BY QUENTIN TROLLIP
COMPLEX
Common Raven To me, the challenge in designing a bird lies in the claws. A flying bird adds the extra challenge of outspread wings.
Design and diagram info: Date: 25 March 2007 High Intermediate Difficulty: Time to fold: 1 hour
Crease Pattern: Wing
Paper: Beak
Wing
Single Uncut Square Size: 40 cm Color: Black - Black Type: Kami OK Good Foil Wet-Fold Best
Ratio: 0.48
The design came relatively easy. The difficult part was to diagram the collapsing sequence of the base in a logical manner.
Claws
Claws
Tail
Steps 14 to 20 show how to divide into thirds. Do not be scared off by the closed unsink in steps 40 to 41, they are easier than they look. The Common Raven can be posed in different positions, but I like the “pecking” position, as it seems that the ravens are always pecking (or stealing!) something off the ground.

There are no landmarks for steps 84 to 87, so use your own initiative here. Shape the wings in step 87 to lie over each other and to hide the open layers of the body and tail.

Raven, by Quentin Trollip c
I decided on book-symmetry for the strip grafts that would form the claws. This ensures minimal layers to form the claws and nails, so it is not dependent on special thin paper for a good result. Even 80-100gsm paper will work for this model.

4.1. AS I KNEW HIM BY DAVID LISTER
ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
Robert Harbin: As I Knew Him b. 14 February, 1909, South Africa; d. 12 January, 1978, London, England
David Lister
Introduction My first acquaintance with Robert Harbin was through his book, Paper Magic. I had long been interested in the concept of folding paper without cutting it and had been looking for books about it. In 1956 I had found Maying Soong’s little book, but I wanted more. It was, therefore with some excitement that I discovered Paper Magic for sale in a local a bookshop sometime in 1958 and I immediately bought it. Even then, it was two years after its first publication. If I had been enthusiastic when I discovered Maying Soong’s book, I found Paper Magic to be a much more substantial book altogether. Here was a real introduction to the history, philosophy and practice of paperfolding, covering many aspects of the art. It was here that I had my first introduction to the word Origami as the Japanese called their folding. It was here that I found the rules of folding and it was here that I received my first information about Gershon Legman and also about Akira Yoshizawa who was already a legend in his own lifetime.
Who is Robert Harbin? But who was the author of Paper Magic? The dust cover of my copy of showed a handsome, suave man in evening dress. It said that he had been born near Balfour in South Africa in 1909 and that he came to Britain when he was aged about twenty in 1929. He worked as a magic demonstrator at Gamages’ store in London before becoming a member of Maskelyne’s Theatre of Magic at St. George’s Hall in London where he stayed for three years. So, like so many paperfolders, he was a magician. I discovered that his parents were both English, but that they had married in South Africa. I also found that Robert Harbin had been born ”Edward Richard Charles Williams” and that his family knew him as Ned. But at Maskelynes, there was already a Williams in the show, none less than the managing director, Oswald Williams. Bob was firmly told he would have to find another name. So he chose Robert Harbin. Harbin was a family name on his mother’s side (It was not his middle name as has previously been suggested). The name Robert may have come to him because Robert Houdin had been a famous French magician of the 19th century and the name Robert Harbin echoed Robert Houdin. The name Edward Williams was almost forgotten and acquaintances called him Bob, although a few intimates, including Lillian Oppenheimer, still knew him as Ned. I knew him as Bob, so I will continue to use this name in this article. 1

ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
During the Second World War Bob joined the Royal Engineers as a driver. He was subsequently commissioned. However, he then became a liaison officer with ENSA, the forces entertainment service and spent the rest of the war in the Middle East and India. Remarkably, he left the army as a Lieutenant-Colonel. In India he liked to visit the markets to observe the fakirs at work. They were taken aback when a British army officer produced a coin and performed his own mystifying tricks. He told how he tried to discover the secret of the Indian rope trick, but he never saw it performed and concluded that it never existed.
Magic and Paperfolding Bob had become interested in magic as a young boy, when he was given a magic set. It was more than a passing fancy and he used to write to London for new tricks and books about conjuring. We know that Bob (or Ned as he was then known) had, as a boy, known a few paperfolding models, including the flapping bird. It has been suggested that his introduction to paperfolding may have been through some of the magic books he bought by mail order from London such as those by Will Blythe and Houdini, both of whom wrote books named Paper Magic. These were basically about magic using paper, but they did contain some true paperfolding. However, Bob’s interest in paperfolding remained dormant until a serious misfortune occurred in a theatre in 1953. Bob had married his magic assistant, Dorothy and they toured the theatres together. One Sunday they were in their dressing room during a rehearsal when Dorothy’s clothing caught fire and engulfed her in flames. She was seriously burned and was eventually taken to Stoke Mandeville Hospital. The hospital had become famous during the war as a centre of plastic surgery for treatment of service personnel who had been disfigured or disabled. Apparently they still treated servicemen because, during a visit to Dorothy, Bob came across a group of airmen who had suffered burns to their hands and were using paperfolding as occupational therapy. He found that the book they were using was Paper Toy Making by Margaret Campbell, a Scotswomen, which had been published in 1937. In its way it was an excellent book and contained many paperfolding models, including some which Margaret Campbell had apparently found in Japan, a country that she had visited with her husband who was a diplomat. By something of a coincidence, Eric Kenneway later discovered that Robert Harbin was distantly related to Margaret Campbell through his mother! By another coincidence she had, like Bob, been living for many years in South Africa The meeting with the airmen and finding Margaret Campbell’s book was Robert Harbin’s reintroduction to paperfolding. (It was not yet known as Origami ) and he became inflamed with enthusiasm. The first person he consulted was Alfred Bestall, the writer of the Rupert Annuals, who had introduced paperfolding into the Annuals, beginning in1946. They exchanged models and in particular the Elephant and the Pack Mule, which appear in both Bob and Alfred’s books. Little did they know at the time that they would later become successive Presidents of the then non-existent British Origami Society!

ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
Growing Interest in Paperfolding Bob continued to collect information about paperfolding, mainly from books. He may have used the library of the Magic Circle in London, but we cannot be sure of this. Fortunate events helped him in his search. He was employed to play the part of a conjuror in a film called the Limping Man and on the set he met the exiled American, Cy Enfield who was the film’s producer. Cy was an old school friend of Gershon Legman, who was then living in France and they had kept in touch. Since 1945, Legman had done considerable research into paperfolding in New York, combing through libraries and trying to establish contacts with other folders. Not least of the people he had found was Akira Yoshizawa, the great, but hardly yet known folder from Japan. He also found Dr. Solorzano Sagredo and Ligia Montoya in Argentina. So Cy Enfield introduced Bob to Gershon Legman and they were able to exchange information about folding, which was very valuable when Bob came to write Paper Magic. Ligia Montoya sent him several Argentinean books on paperfolding which were unavailable anywhere else. Bob also managed to get in touch with the daughter of the late Miguel de Unamuno in Spain and she sent him several Spanish models, some of which he was to include in Paper Magic As early as 1955, Bob had managed to persuade the BBC to let him have a slot in the children’s television programme, Jigsaw to demonstrate paperfolding. I came home at teatime one day to see two hands, which turned out to be Bob’s. They were folding what I later found to be the model he included in Paper Magic as The Kitchen Sink. So began Mr. Left and Mr. Right during which each week Bob’s hands folded a different paper model.. It was the first time in the world that paperfolding had been shown on television, but by no means the last. Bob himself had several further series of paperfolding on television. Jigsaw was followed by Crackerjack and there was later a long series of programmes on Yorkshire Television. The British Origami Society has been able to obtain copies of these for its archives.
Paper Magic and Origami Paper Magic was published in 1956 and as everyone knows, the Australian entertainer Rolf Harris was the artist who drew all the diagrams freehand. They were excellently clear and have never been surpassed. Rolf even contributed a few models of his own creation. Rolf’s friendship with Bob continued, and they appeared in a puppet show together in Jigsaw involving a puppet named Fuzz. Bob manipulated the puppet and Rolf did the speaking part. It was the real start of Rolf’s long career in show business. Unfortunately for origami, Rolf’s increasing popularity on television left him with no time to contribute any more to drawing diagrams for origami books.. But Rolf was always deeply grateful to Bob for giving him his break on television. The strange sound of his wobble board was originally discovered when he was waving about a portrait of Bob on hardboard which he had done to try to make it dry faster. He still shows it occasionally on television. Paper Magic had many more virtues. In it, Bob considerably modified the concept of foundation folds which he found in Margaret Campbell’s book and selected his own six folds that he named basic folds. He also included in his 3
191
4.1. AS I KNEW HIM BY DAVID LISTER
ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
book what was later known as the Windmill Base, although he didn’t include it as one of his formal bases and he named it the Multiform. Bob also identified a number of frequently used moves in paperfolding, including the crimp, the reverse fold, the squash fold and the petal fold. He also included the pinch fold, although elsewhere he called this a Rabbit Ear and this is the name that stuck. All of these shorthand names made folding easier to describe and they were later incorporated, along with Yoshizawa’s system of dotted lines and arrows, in The Art of Origami. (Yoshizawa’s system was not, of course compatible with the perspective drawings in Paper Magic). Sam Randlett wrote The Art of Origami, after long discussions with Bob. The terms have since become part of the standard terminology of paperfolding. Paper Magic also included a useful bibliography, partly taken from his own knowledge and partly from information given to him by Gershon Legman. In all it was a splendid book, which still deserves to be studied. Paper Magic had the remarkable distinction of being translated into Japanese with the title, Origami Dokuhon, (Origami Reader ) the same as two of Yoshizawa’s books. Curiously it was issued under his real name of Ned Williams, something that has never been explained. For a time, Robert Harbin moved to Bermuda to help to establish a new television service there. He made sure that he also included origami in the programs! Perhaps because of the success of Mr Left and Mr Right, Paper Magic became a best-seller and was reprinted many times. It quickly crossed the Atlantic and came into the hands of Mrs. Lillian Oppenheimer, who was yet another person who had rediscovered paperfolding at about the same time as Robert Harbin. She had a daughter, Rosaly, who lived in London and within a year she had come to London and met Bob. For her the book was a revelation and it was one of the contributing factors that led her to form the Origami Center in New York in October, 1958. Paperfolding had finally arrived! Lillian decided to call it by its Japanese name, Origami because that sounded much more inspirational than mere, prosaic paperfolding.
The Early Days of British Origami Society Meanwhile I tried to keep up with news about paperfolding and I acquired a few more books, including some very colourful ones by the Japanese folder, Isao Honda. I decided to write to Robert Harbin. I mentioned the books by Isao Honda, which I thought were admirable and I asked him if there was an English Paperfolding Society. I received a hastily written but friendly reply. He said three things: first, there was no English Paperfolding Society; second he said, emphatically, that Isao Honda stole Akira Yoshizawa’s models and thirdly he urged me to write to Lillian Oppenheimer. How I wish that I had taken his advice! But pressure of work made me put it off until 1964. By then Samuel Randlett had written The Art of Origami and this book also advised people to get in touch with Lillian. This time I did so and received a warm reply from her. I continued to correspond with her and she found lots of books for me to buy. About the same time the Sunday newspaper, the Observer printed two small features on paperfolding. They were so popular that Robert Harbin was asked to contribute a few more. Then the editors seem to have lost interest. But I cut them out and saved them and others did the same, including Sidney 4

4.1. AS I KNEW HIM BY DAVID LISTER
ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
French. Other people in Britain also wrote to Lillian Oppenheimer, so that she was later able send Iris Walker a list of her names. Iris was able to form the first contacts between British folders. They included Sidney French and in 1965, he organised the Origami Portfolio Society which led to the formation of the British Origami Society in October, 1967. In April, 1966, the members of the young Portfolio Society were invited to visit the home of Rosaly Evine in West Kensington to meet her mother, Lillian Oppenheimer, on her annual visit to London to see her grandchildren. So the members of the Portfolio Society met for the first time. I entered a large room with people sitting round a huge table in needless trepidation. I quickly identified Mrs Oppenheimer and she was warmly welcoming. But who was that wizened man across the table? It soon became evident that this was Robert Harbin, already a friend of Lillian, who had also been invited to attend. He looked somewhat older than the suave young man of the dust cover of Paper Magic! But he, too, was very welcoming and we soon got to know him. It seemed natural that we should ask him to accept appointment as the President of the Origami Portfolio Society. Later, as soon as the British Origami Society was formed he became President of the British Origami Society, a position that he held for the rest of his life. Robert Harbin took no part in the administration of either the Portfolio Society or the British Origami Society and neither he nor Lillian Oppenheimer were the founders of either society as some have supposed, But both did help and Bob gave us ample inspiration and support. It was not just moral support: Bob also gave us financial support, but this was always done very privately. He lived in Clarence Gate Gardens within a stone’s throw of Marylebone station and when the Society grew too big to hold its annual spring meetings at Rosaly’s home, he found a new meeting place just round the corner from where he lived. This was the Vienna Caf´e in an arcade just off Baker Street. We met there for our spring meetings for three years in a basement room. Two of our visitors one year were Lillian Oppenheimer and Alice Gray. The new British Origami Society soon outgrew the Vienna Caf´e and residential meetings were mooted. They took place for a few years at such places as the Kingsley Hotel, the Ivanhoe Hotel and the Kenilworth Hotel, all not far from the British Museum. Not long afterwards, residential meetings in the autumn were added, but they took place at the Cobden Hotel in Birmingham. Bob continued to attend the meetings in London, whenever possible, but he was unable to attend the meetings at the Cobden because of his theatre and cabaret engagements.
Success with Magic and Origami Bob did not rest on his labours. Paper Magic was followed by two books, both published by the Oldbourne Press, who had published Paper Magic. Paper Folding Fun, of 1960 was, perhaps titled misleadingly, because it was not about origami. It was, however a fascinating book crammed full with all those other paper tricks, such as paper-cutting and troublewit, which have always fascinated people. Party Lines of 1963 continued the theme, with a wider variety of tricks and puzzles. Nevertheless, it did contain short sections about handkerchief folding and napkin folding, which are considered to be kinds of origami. Party 5

4.1. AS I KNEW HIM BY DAVID LISTER
ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
Lines was a mine information about those minor forms of tricks and pastimes that were too small to be included in any of the professional stage acts of Robert Harbin the conjuror. His professional reputation as a conjuror continued to grow and he was the creator of many astonishing tricks, such as the Zigzag Lady that gave him a great international reputation. All were invented and built by himself in a secret location in the north of London. Nevertheless, Bob did not neglect his Origami. Dorothy was inclined to chastise him for spending so much of his time on Origami, when he might have been earning more money by devoting his time and energies to conjuring. However, his books sold in their hundreds of thousands. Bob’s books and his television appearances were now beginning to pay. And the resources for writing more origami books were increasing. After the formation of the Origami Center in 1958, Bob found himself to be a member of a spontaneous international fraternity of paperfolders who enthusiastically exchanged ideas and models by post and who were prepared to modify and build upon one another’s creations. Among the members of the group were Adolfo Cerceda, Robert Neale, Neal Elias, Fred Rohm, Samuel Randlett, Patricia Crawford and Ligia Montoya of Argentina, It all amounted to a revolution in origami as new and original techniques of folding developed. But apart from Bob, British folders were at first noticeable by their absence from the group, although one or two, including Iris Walker joined in later.
Secrets of Origami Samuel Randlett of Chicago decided to publish a sequel to The Art of Origami which would draw on models created by the group. Robert Harbin was in touch with him and he too decided to write another book. Sam and Bob agreed to avoid any duplication of models. The Best of Origami came out in 1963 and Bob’s book, The Secrets of Origami appeared after a slight delay in 1964. Between them the two books gave a first public taste of how radical the revolution in origami had been. In the absence of Rolf Harris, Bob decided to draw the diagrams for Secrets of Origami himself. When he had finished the task, he found he had improved so much that he started all over again at the beginning. The experience set him up for writing a new series of books. Bob’s next book, Teach Yourself Origami was published in 1968. By now Bob was able to draw the diagrams himself. He was able to include models created by members of the Origami Portfolio Society. It was probably his most successful book of origami. Soon it was issued in paperback as Origami 1 and it was issued in an American edition and also in several
European Translations It was followed by three more paperbacks in the same series. Cheap and accessible, and notwithstanding a few mistakes, the books were an easy access for anyone wanting to be come acquainted with folding. Unfortunately, the publishers, Hodder and Stoughton were taken over and the new regime decided to discontinue Origami 2, Origami 3 and Origami 4. Origami 1 reverted to being Teach Yourself Origami and it still in print in a revised and enlarged edition.

ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
All four books continued to be printed in a slightly shortened form in Hebrew. (Foreign editions were not published by Hodder and Stoughton.)
Tobias and the Angel Perhaps inspired by the animations made by Thoki Yenn, the Danish folder who worked for a time in England, Bob decided to try his hand at animated cartoons using origami characters. He found it a lengthy and daunting process in which the model had first to be folded and then moved very slightly for each frame of the film. He chose as his subject the story of Tobias and the Angel from the Apocrypha and with great persistence managed to complete a short cartoon which was shown on television. It was successful, but not an experiment that he ever repeated. The figure of the Devil in the story was printed in the special edition of British Origami no 69 following his death. The only other time this model has been reproduced was in Le Pli in France.
Bob’s Later Life Bob had an idea for writing a series of monographs of the folders in the group. Unfortunately it didn’t meet with the approval of publishers. His book of the folds of Patricia Crawford was the first to fail, but Bob did manage to incorporate thirteen of her creations in Origami, A Step-by-Step Guide which appeared in 1974. Bob also planned a book devoted to the work of Neal Elias, but again, it didn’t materialise. Instead, however, he included a few of Neal’s models in Origami 4, published in 1977. The British Origami Society is only now about to fulfil Bob’s ambition by making Neal Elias’s complete work available on DVD. In his later life, Bob adopted a life of semi-retirement, although he never retired completely. He embarked on a series of cruises on which he performed magic and taught origami for the benefit of the passengers. It was a very enjoyable life and it took him around the world to meet other magicians and paperfolders. He was especially greeted at meetings on both coasts of the United States and special meetings of many magicians were held to honour him. Some time around this period, Bob entrusted me with his files of correspondence with some of the folders of the origami revolution which followed the formation of the Origami Center. There were no files for Yoshizawa, Gershon Legman or Lillian Oppenheimer. Bob had presumably given them to other friends. The remaining files showed how intensive were the exchanges between the folders, all carried out by mail. In those days the Internet was in its infancy and only knowledgeable enthusiasts were prepared to struggle with the early personal computers. Bob never did have access to a computer. It was at a convention the Kenilworth Hotel that I met Bob for the last time. I was delighted that he brought with him Cy Enfield and we had a fascinating discussion about the origins of the modern origami movement. Cy told me about his schooldays with Gershon Legman, what sort of a person he was and the contribution he had made to the modern origami movement. Bob added further information about his contacts with Gershon Legman. But he gave no indication at all that he was already seriously ill and was about have to endure a major operation. It was not Bob’s way to give in to illness. When we heard
7
195
4.1. AS I KNEW HIM BY DAVID LISTER
ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
that he had had an operation, I then realised why he had entrusted his files to me. After convalescing at a south coast resort, Bob decided that he had recovered enough to go on another of his cruises, this time round the world, He intended to visit New Zealand to appear on television in a programme arranged by Laurie Bishman. But this was not to be. His symptoms returned and he was in great pain. When the ship reached Hong Kong, he sought medical advice. The news was not good and he was advised to return home by air immediately. It was clear that he had not long to live and he used the time left to him to put his affairs in order. He telephoned Mick Guy, who was then the secretary of the Society and who had come to know Bob well, to tell him he was dying to give instructions about the whereabouts of his origami collections so that the Society would be able to collect everything. He made similar arrangements for his magical collections. Bob died on the morning of 12th January, 1978 at St. Mary’s Hospital at the comparatively early age of 69. A memorial service was held at St. Martin’s in the Fields in London on 23rd February 1978 at which many representatives of the worlds of the stage and of magic were present. The British Origami Society was represented by several members of the Society, including Alfred Bestall (who later succeeded Bob as President) and by Mick Guy. Rolf Harris gave the address. British Origami no 69 for April, 1978 was a tribute to the Society’s President and his photograph appeared on the front cover. Eric Kenneway wrote an obituary.
Bob’s Legacy In his will Bob bequeathed the copyrights in all of his books, both about origami and about magic to the British Origami Society. This was probably his greatest gift of all and the Society has ever since benefited from the royalties that have been received. Later Dorothy made a gift to the Society of Bob’s books on origami and his collection of models and origami papers. This greatly benefited the Society’s collections and its library with books which included the South American books received from Ligia Montoya which were by then impossible to obtain. I knew Bob as a very friendly and approachable man. He was warm and helpful and always protective of the British Origami Society. It was the hope of members when he died that they would continue to promote origami in the ways that he had striven in so many ways to do.
Final Words Robert Harbin was first and foremost a stage magician and he is still held with the greatest admiration by the magical fraternity throughout the world. But Bob often admitted that stage magic was only an illusion. In contrast, for him, Origami was real magic – the magic by which a simple square of paper could be transformed by a few deft folds (and without any cuts!) into a bird that would flap its wings - or into anything else in the world: animals, birds, inanimate objects or abstract patterns. When he wrote Paper Magic in 1956, paperfolding was a much simpler art than it has become today. Modern origami

would have come about without Robert Harbin, but as modern origami evolved he was one of a small number of folders who played a major part in transforming paperfolding from the simple recreation as he found it into the complex art form that we know today.

4.2. MY MEMORIES BY MICK GUY
ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
My Memories of Robert Harbin Mick Guy The story of how I became the Society’s first Secretary has been written many times. A naive 20 year-old caught off-guard is probably the best way of putting it but it is something in my life that I have never regretted. Undoubtedly one of the loveliest things to happen because of it was that I got to know (well a little bit anyway) that wonderful man Robert Harbin. Bob was the first famous person I had ever met. We did not meet often. He communicated with a letter of five lines or a quick phone call but he always sought to tell me what was going on, even if I had little time to prepare for it! At one convention he casually mentioned that he had secured an article in the Woman’s Own magazine. It was going to be published that following week so I may receive a few enquiries. We hadn’t been in existence long and anyone who contacted me received a hand written reply. So when the postman knocked on the door that morning and handed me a bundle of 30 letters I started to get concerned. When he returned again that same afternoon with a further 50, concern turned to panic! Fortunately I was at college at the time and I was able to get one of the secretaries to print me a duplicated letter. This was just as well as we ended up receiving 1200 enquiries from that article alone. Nothing like that happened again but it showed us that there was interest out there. But it wouldn’t have happened if Bob had not been involved. It was his TV programmes his books and his articles that got folks fascinated and led them eventually to the BOS. He was pivotal to our growth and his enthusiasm rubbed off on all of us. Of course we also had the business brains of Sidney French, John Smith and David Lister to back it all up and a generous hostess in Rosaly Evnine who willingly opened up her home to enable us to meet. Apart from his death, I only have one sad memory of Bob Harbin. If it had not been for his wife’s tragic accident where she was severely burnt, he would never have visited her in hospital and found some airmen in similar difficulties struggling with some diagrams in an old origami book. This began his interest but Dolly could never get to grips with it. Even showing her the first royalty cheque for Teach Yourself Origami did not impress her. When I visited her after his death she sadly admitted how angry she got at him as he drew his diagrams on a small drawing board resting on his lap. “But I wish he was there doing it now.”, she stated.

ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
Robert Harbin: A Tribute David Lister Sadly, Robert Harbin died on 12th January, 1978, at St. Mary’s Hospital, London, at the comparatively early age of 68. Some months previously he had undergone an operation for cancer and as part of his convalescence, he had embarked on a working cruise round the world in the P & O liner Oriana, something which he had regularly done before. His job was to entertain the passengers with magic, not a particularly strenuous job, and leaving plenty of time for resting. Unfortunately he became ill again and when the ship docked at Hong Kong, he saw doctors there. They sent him straight back to England by air. He had not long to live and spent his time putting his affairs in order and ensuring that his magical and paperfolding collections were entrusted safely to people who would look after them for posterity. He bequeathed his paperfolding books and the copyrights in all his own books to the British Origami Society. Hence, the Society is at present trying to get some of them republished. But it is not easy. Robert Harbin was, of course devoted to paperfolding, but his profession was stage magic. He was one of the greatest innovative magicians ever to have lived, constructing his new illusions himself in a secret garage somewhere in London, and working on them until he considered them perfect. Perhaps the best-known of his illusions was The Zigzag Girl, a development of Sawing a Woman in Half, where he actually removed the centre section of the box into which the woman had been put. Robert Harbin was greatly honoured on both sides of the Atlanic, not only be popular audiences, but also by his fellow professional magicians, who bestowed many honours on him. Robert Harbin was the first President of the British Origami Society and although it was an honorary office he always tried to come to our conventions, whenever his frequent cabaret engagements permited him to do so. He gave the Society enormous help, the real extent of which has never been disclosed in public. I remember him as a very friendly man, very accessible and always anxious to help expert and beginner alike. I suppose that without him there would still have been a modern origami movement, but if he had not written Paper Magic, it would have taken much longer. Modern origami in the west owes everything to Gershon Legman, Lillian Oppenheimer and Robert Harbin, and Robert Harbin was at the centre of the trio. Strangely, not one of the three was a great creative folder, but all three were great ceative facilitators. If Robert Harbin is no longer with us, his many origami books survive, for all to enjoy. I hope that succeeding generations of paperfolders will contine to learn from them and to come as close as possible to a great folder and a great man.

ROBERT HARBIN CELEBRATION
The Origami Books of Robert Harbin Paper Magic Robert Harbin’s first paperfolding book was Paper Magic which was published by the Oldbourne Book Company, a division of Express Newspapers Limited, of London, in 1956. A paper-backed edition ws published by J. Maxfield Limited for many years, but appears to have gone out-of-print only in the last few years.
Secrets of Origami, Old and New Harbin’s second book was Secrets of Origami , originally published in 1963 by the Oldbourne Book Company. It was reprinted in another hard-backed edition by Octopus Books in 1971, but was out of print for a long time. A new paperbacked edition was published by Dover Books Inc. of New York in 1997. This has corrections to the instructions and a new Introduction and a new Preface. It is still readily available available.
Teach Yourself Origami Teach Yourself Origami, the Art of Paperfolding was originally published as a hard-backed edition by The English Universities Press, a division of Hodder and Stoughton Ltd. in 1968. A paper-backed edition under the name Origami, The Art of Paperfolding was published by Hodder Paperbacks in 1968. The following year the title was changed to Origami 1 and the book is bestknown under that title.
Origami 1 – 4 Origami 1 was followed by Origami 2 , Origami 3 , and Origami 4, all of them issued in paper-back by Hodder Paperbacks. Origami 4 was published in 1977. Soon after it was published, Hodder and Stoughton were taken over and with change of policy the whole series was discontinued. Consequently, few copies of Origami 4 were ever sold and it is now eagerly sought after by collectors. Origami 3 is also quite difficult to obtain second-hand. A hard-backed edition of Origami 1 with coloured plates was issued in 1973 under the title Illustrated Teach Yourself Origami by Brockhampton Press, another division of Hodder and Stoughton In 1980, Hodder and Stoughton reissued Origami 1, still as a paper-back, in their Teach Yourself Series, with an updated historical intoduction. For the 2003 edition, some new models were added by Dave Brill. Unfortunately the other three books in the series have not been reprinted in Great Britain. Origami 1 and Origami 2 were reprinted as paper-backs in the United States. Origami 1 is now published in the United States by Harper Perennial, with the new historical introduction, as Origami, The Art of Paperfolding. Origami 2 was published in the United States by Barnes and Noble Books, a division of Harper and Row in 1982 with the title New Adventures in Origami. I do not know whether it is still in print. So far as I know, Origami 3 and Origami 4 have never been published in the United States. Various numbers of the series have been published in French (in Canada), in German, in Italian and in Hebrew and perhaps in other languages. Two 2

shortened booklets were published in Swedish. Some of the foreign-language editions may still be available. I believe this is true of all four books in Hebrew. I understand that Origami 4 in this series is slighly shortened, but this is one way of obtaining a copy of the coveted Origami 4. Needless to say, a knowledge of Hebrew is not necessary to follow the diagrams.
Origami, A Step-by-Step Guide Harbin’s Origami, A Step-by-Step Guide was published in a hard-backed edition by the Hamlyn Publishing Group in 1974. It is notable for including many of Patricia Crawford’s models. Dover Books Inc. have also republished this book in a paper-backed edition and it, too, is readily available.
Have Fun with Origami The only other book by Robert Harbin solely devoted to paperfolding was Have Fun with Origami, published in both hard-backed and paper-backed editions in 1975 by Severn House Publishers Ltd. in conjuncion with Independent Televeision Books Ltd. It contains many simple models sent in to Robert Harbin in the course of his origami series on the Independent Television Look-In programmes for children.
Other Books Robert Harbin also wrote one or two other books either solely about paperfolding or containing paperfolding, but the above are the main books for the serious paperfolder. His Paper Folding Fun (Oldbourne, 1960), despite its title, disappointingly contains very little paperfolding, but is a book of paper tricks and puzzles and paper-cutting. Party Lines (Oldbourne, 1963) is another collection of tricks and puzzles or a more general kind and not confined to paper. However, it contains a short section on origami with eight models and also sections on Handkerchief Tricks and Napkin-Folding. Robert Harbin wrote other books, mainly devoted to conjuring, which was his own profession, but they do not contain paperfolding.

Editors’ Selections Robert Harbin generously bequeathed the copyright of his books to the BOS. As a tribute to his work, we reproduce some highlights from his origami books.
Paper Magic Before Akira Yoshizawa’s diagramming conventions were adopted, most books about paperfdoling used instructions in the style of “fold A to B ”. Origami bases were beginning to be organised into a system – here Harbin extends Margaret Campbell’s system. Rolf Harris’ lively illustrations for the Bow Tie are appealing. Unfortunately modern British bank notes do not produce such attractive results, but American dollar bills still work well. A rectangle of patterned paper is a good alternative.
Secrets of Origami After Paper Magic, Harbin drew the diagrams for all of his subequent books. This book now uses the familiar standard origami symbols, procedures and system of bases. Curiously the text instructions are on separate pages from the diagrams, a feature Harbin deprecated for Paper Magic. One of Harbin’s rare models is here. Harbin’s first bat in Paper Magic was folded from a Bird Base. This one is folded from an equilateral triangle with no cuts.
Origami 4 Harbin wrote in the Preface that this book features a few of Elias’ folds, and wished to do the same for Fred Rohm in a Origami 5. He also hoped to produce a “mighty tome, in colour, featuring the unique work of Neal Elias and another for that master of the art Fred Rohm”. Sady, this was to be Harbin’s final origami book. Developing the subject of diagramming in Origami 1, Habrin wrote It has taken about a year of spare time to complete the drawings . . . nine months on the luxury cruise S.S. Canberra . . . three months in Hollywood ... and the rest of the time in Regent’s Park in London. I am happy that the task is over because I am beginning to see double. Introduction by Eric Kenneway.
Origami, A Step-By-Step Guide Toshie Takahama’s Yacht is classic simple origami.
