I have seen wallets/billfolds made this way. Like magic.

The essence of this folk design is that there's no movement up or down at all. The cassettes are simply flipping back and forth.

The invention dates back to the pilgrims. As the scripture reads, Jacob dreamed of angels ascending and descending from the heavens, as if climbing a ladder.
