Jennie The Vanishing Elephant and The Creepy Goat

Richard teamed up with Water Closet Press to create a vanishing elephant! Download the PDF here, cut out the four pieces, and arrange them so that Jennie the elephant is in the middle. Then read through each of the pieces, turning each of them through 180 degrees as you go. At the end Jennie will have vanished! Not only that, but if you drawn a rectangle around the original configuration, you will see that the pieces still fit into the rectangle even when Jennie has vanished!

We also created a fun model that will seem to look at you as you move around the room. To make your creepy goat, download the PDF here and follow the instructions (which are on the download and in this video). With thanks to ThinkFun.
