Abstract

A novelty piece is fabricated from a single sheet of paper printed on both sides with indicia in registration. Scoring, perforating and cut lines are provided at predetermined positions and an adhesive is applied at preselected locations and the sheet is then folded and adhered in the folded position. a second fold into an adhered position followed by a trimming yields a completed piece ready for use. The completed piece can be selectively opened into one of two positions to display different indicia. The selective display of different indicia with either opened position can be utilized to create illusions or a multiple selection or fortune telling game.
