3. PAPER FOLD TO VANISH A WATCH
A piece of paper about ten inches square is required. Fold this twice, reducing it to a five-inch square. Place the borrowed watch on the center of the paper (Fig. 1A); fold one-third of the paper from the front back over the watch (Fig. 1B); fold the right-hand side to the front (Fig. 1C) then the left-hand side in the same way (Fig. 1D); finally turn the packet round sideways and fold the last end down to the front (Fig. IE). The side folds must not be made too close to the watch.
The result is that the watch, to all appearances fairly enclosed in the paper, is really in an open fold and will slip out into the hand at will. Press the paper (which should be rather stiff) firmly round the watch, so that its shape will show after it has been allowed to slip out into your palm. A startling vanish results if flash paper is used for this trick fold.
