Jay Sankey offers a great explanation on the mercury fold. I got it with his trick "Paperclipped" which is well worth the 30 dollar.

Oh and welcome to TM.

I prefer John Kennedys Mystery Box when using the mercury fold, mine is the older type though. There is an alternative to this fold in John Bannons Impossibilia called Creased Lightning

Is it just my computer or is the image on this thread unusually wide ? I had to scroll to the right to check my above post :?

Rather than getting Paperclipped get 22 Blows to the Head by Sankey.
He uses this on one of the effects here and you get 21 others.

Same here, that rather long Google link above has stretched the page off to the right!
