Fun idea! Building on that: there's a common children's magic trick involving a flip book that magically "colors" its pages ( https://www.magicinc.net/products/fun-magic-coloring-book?va... ) It works by moving your thumb to a different position while flipping the pages -- every Xth page is cut at slightly different lengths, so when you move your thumb to the next position, different pages become visible during the f…
I love that magic trick, but wouldn't that significantly thicken the cardstock flipbook ?
