A Topological Paper Puzzle
Oh, and for the other puzzle in my earlier post, this was a draft post originally started on 9/2/2013 which I never published, that shows the video in which I got the puzzle.
This one is pretty easy. But still, if you need the solution:

Does anyone know what this artform is called:

Twisted Box by Susumu NAKAJIMA
I posted this video a while back on the WCOG FB page; but didn't think to post it here.
I met Susumu Nakajima at OUSA one year (when he brought a lot of large-size red/black duo paper for a Mickey Mouse ears cap). Very nice and generous person. He even mailed me diagrams for a couple of his models after the Convention.
It should be noted that this fantastic model is not pure origami- requires cuts and g***.

Japanese Paper Engineering
Description:
These three Japanese greeting cards date from the 1980s, and they are all the work of Masahiro Chatani. He was a Professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and he is considered to be one of the founders if not the founder of a technique called Origamic Architecture.
The designs sometimes show architectural forms, or they can also demonstrate geometric patterns.
Initially he just gave his cards away to friends and family. But he went on to write over 50 books on the subject, and he felt that these designs helped people appreciate the complexity of three dimensional designs, and also inspire an interest in mathematics and art in young people.
Professor Masahiro Chatani died in 2008.

Conjunction Junction, What's Your Function? Why, it's Tearigami!
 |
| An impossible object? |
Naw, I'm not promoting Schoolhouse Rock (Oops! See what I just did there?).
In my process of trying to figure out the next great business card design, so that my business card doesn't get accused of being crap by mentalist Joel Bauer, I stumbled across this 2006 tearigami invention:
Conjunction is a remarkable effect with a very simple description. You take one of your business cards, give it a series of folds and tears, and in the process transform it into an impossible object: two unbroken cardboard rings that end up linked through one another.
So, you may ask, what sets Conjunction apart from the multitude of other effects that have bits of card linking together? Simple: You do it for real.
According to people who have learned it, this is not a magic trick: It is "legit", where the paper truly is linked.
