Magic with paper: ideas and tricks
Jeff Lindsay's offering. Ideas for the magically inclined.

Robert J. Lang's Origami
Marvelous examples of what can be done with paper - incredibly sophisticated. Mr. Lang has also developed computer programs for designing origami features and understanding the science of origami. Among the practical applications of Mr. Lang's work have been improved tools for simulating the folding and unfolding of air bags for automobiles.
