An origami that is not so simple, but easy compared to the normal flasher. Model made by Jeremy Shafer. The flasher basically expands and contracts automatically as you fold or unfold it. It’s a great way to fold maps, but the center will get used very quickly.
This model can also be wetfolded: once it’s ready put a rubber band around to hold it and then dunk it in water, once it dries it will retain its compact form and spring close itself when opened.
Diagrams on Jeremy’s website and the Video and a picture after the break.

Here’s a video of a wetfolded, bigger flasher (not by me):

That one I really really appreciated! I love action models, and this just made my day! Thanks very much Karl. In my opinion, you have the best origami videos on youtube
hi,
if u put a rubber band around it and keep it under water very short and let it dry u get the effect from the big flasher.
very easy, looks like wetfolding

Hey Karl! I will give you a challenge. I discovered something on youtube when searched for action models.
Have you ever attempted “spring into action”?
I’ve heard that it is a little hard, but I’ll give it a shot, and you can if you want to:) heres the link for the diagrams:
