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.
Abstract: A novelty piece is fabricated from a continuous roll of paper printed on both sides with four separate sets of indicia. Fold lines and cut lines are provided at predetermined positions, an adhesive is applied at preselected locations, the sheet is then folded and the pieces are cut out ready for use. The final piece can be folded in a second position showing one face or side, opened to a third position showing a different face or side, opened to a fourth position showing still another different face or side, and finally opened to a the original starting position showing the original face or side. The method is particularly suited to roll fed printing presses such as the web type of press.
Abstract: A novelty piece is fabricated from a single sheet of paper printed on both sides with four separate sets of indicia. Fold lines and cut lines are provided at predetermined positions and an adhesive is applied at preselected locations and the sheet is then folded. After the adhesive sets, the pieces are cut out ready for use. The final piece can be folded in a first position showing one face or side, opened to a second position showing a different face or side, opened to a third position slowing still another different face or side, and finally opened to a fourth position showing another different face or side.

Abstract: A puppet or doll having a plurality of articulated limbs and a pistol grip attached to the puppet body for selectively activating the limbs. The limbs are pivotally connected to the puppet body and the grip includes openings therein for insertion of one's fingers and trigger assemblies actuable from the openings connected to the limbs by strings for activating the same.
Abstract: A puzzle comprised of a plurality of elongated pieces, each piece having a plurality of sides presenting a portion of a scene on each side, the puzzle including a knockdown stand adapted to hold said pieces in a contiguous relationship with selective sides of said pieces in a face up relationship so that when all of the sides are aligned on the stand so that all of the portions of the same scene face upwardly and are in proper contiguous relationship a scene is presented. Differing sides of the pieces may be aligned contiguously and facing upwardly so that a different scene is presented.
