Comments top About twenty years ago I got this card which advertised for the products of a famous cosmetic company. Last year I made a web page in German. I didn't feel right about it as I didn't know whether the magic card was protected by a copyright. I called this folding an Hflexagon. Gerd Schenk sent me an email with a link to the video called "Memory Cross and Andy" this month (February 2009).
