Seriously it is not...

Most of that is just a stand, there are only 2 folds required to make the illusion.

The concept of the fold is simple, build a real 3D box shaped head, turn it inside out, stick it together...

That because this "invention" has existed longer than I have... I seriously don't see why people are amazed by how it works. I can understand the amazement of how it tricks your brain, but being amazed by the simple creation of a square headed dragon...

What are you amazed at? the actual illusion or the process to making the illusion work?

I'm impressed at the illusion and the fact someone thought of the concept for the illusion.

There's 3 folds actually Drofder :P

But only 2 are required. The concept is to make a 3 dimension shape. Although there may be more then 2 folds, the 2 folds required are there to form depth, which gives the object a 3D perspective. Its not complicated, it just creates a great effect...
