Why Magic Books?
• They are a unique way to present information for learning or reinforcement.
• They are useful as a graphic organizer with many applications.
• They’re very mysterious!• (Teachers, it allows students to use their psychomotor
and kinesthetic intelligences. They get to move around.)
Materials Needed
• Paper• Each book requires 1 sheet• 8.5” x 11” construction paper• And 2 more half (4”x11”) sheets
of different colors (card stock better)
• Scissors• Ruler • Pencil
Process
• Lay your paper in “landscape” (8.5x11)
• Fold the paper in half lengthwise.
• Open folded paper to reveal horizontal creased line.
• Fold each outer side of the paper to the horizontal creased line.(will end up with 3 creased lines or folds)
• Should look like a “W” from the end when folded properly.

Process continued
• Figure out how many “spaces” you will want: 4 ,5, or 6 is ideal.
• Divide the 12” paper by that number and then measure & mark on the center fold line. So if 6 spaces then each one is 2” apart, mark the fold line every 2”.
Stay with me…..
• Fold ½ sheets of different colors in half length wise and cut along the fold line.
• Should have 4 strips that are about 2”x11”
• Only use 2 of them.
• SHARE THE LEFT OVERS!
• Weave the strips into the cuts…over, under, over, and under.
Find the “magic” pages!
• If you flatten out the paper, you will see two sides, front and back.
• The “magic” is finding the third side of the book.
• Clue: the book separates in the centermost fold and reveals the third side or page.
• It’s Magic!
