It was kind of like love at first sight. I saw the demo the first day on Penguin's website, and
bought it spontaneously. (I cannot report that all such quick purchases have, in hindsight, seemed
like a good idea! But this was a great idea.)
I vaguely recalled reading about the effect
in Maven's Prism; I had turned the page down, but never returned to it. Seeing it performed made
the difference.
As I have reflected about it, Kirigami would be good for parlor or stage,
very good for close-up, and very very goodl for the many casual settings in which we discover the
need to perform something for folks at the table.
To perform it, it requires a moment of
spontaneous preparation, and another moment of preparation for the spectator. You are then set up
for a minor miracle. Maven teaches the effect quite thoroughly, but performers might want to also
read its earlier incarnation in Prism.
