It's like watching real magic performed in front of your eyes. Mantises, dolls, dragon boats, gateways, crickets, pagodas, samurai figures, you name it. They even did requests. I had them make up an origami figure of my wife in her wedding gown (well a woman in her western wedding gown) from a picture I always carried, in about ten minutes, which I carefully shipped to my wife. She had it until the day she passed away and my elder daughter has it now.
