Jerry Andrus

Jerry Andrus

Jerry Andrus passed away on August 26th. I remember sitting with Bill, Andrea and Sam Ritchie for dinner when I heard this news. Sam had read about it on Nob Net.
I sadly never met Jerry, was hoping to meet him at the Gathering this year. Here is a link about Jerry:

His craft was amazing. My first exposure to Jerry Andrus was a paper dragon that ThinkFun produced of Jerry's for the Gathering. Watch this video if you've never seen it. It's truly amazing!

Here's an incredible one that shows the illusion:

This video shows where the illusion ends:
