i really wanna learn how to make that origami transformer thing and where to put the card

That "origami transformer" is very simple, you just fold the 4 corners of the paper in the middle, then you turn it over, then you fold the 4 coreners in the middle again, and you do that 3rd time too. There's the "transformer", about the trick i have no guess.

This is one of the various origami multiform.
I guess it is the most famous one.
The instruction given by Diopside are correct.
Then you have to do a lot of training to transform it with fluent and elengant movements.

Regarding the trick, it is very simple too.
You only have to put a card inside the origami.

thanks guys i thought there was more to it
i really appreciate the help

Force a certain card on somebody and have the same card from another deck in the origami model.

It is pretty cool that you can get so many shapes out of one piece of paper. The way the folds cascade around eachother when he moves them looks pretty cool too, reminded me of those rubiks puzzels from the 80s (not the cube obviously - the other ones), but the card trick was absolutely useless.

Oh and that music was compeltely head melting, did anyone have the sound on watching it?

Other Magic tricks using the concept of origami is a Grand Illusion call "Origami Illusion" it was presented by David Copperfield and others great Magicians.
