This one is a keeper and very easy to do for Chilsdren's Parties.
Prep
You will need the Sunday Funny section or Comic section with at least one duplicate page. Using one of the duplicate papers, fold it in quarters length wise then in thirds the other way. Using a little (Very little) contact cement close up two of the thirds so they stay closed.

Again, using the cement (not too much) past the duplicate folded copy to the back of the same page
in the Funny section about an inch from the outer edge.

Presentation
Take out the Funny Section of the News Paper and pretend to read it. Remove the page with folded and pasted section facing you. Do not show this to the Audience.

Rip the paper several times, each time placing the torn strip on the front page over the pasted portion. Keep doing this until the torn pieces are in one column and the folded and pasted paper is closest to you.

Fold the torn pieces to the shape of the pasted paper keeping all the torn paper folded in front.
crease them so they will stay in place. Say some magic words turning the paper several times and at one point invert it so the folded (Intact) paper is now in front.

Carefully unfold the Duplicate with out exposing the
pasted and folded torn papers. Open and close the papers showing different views with out exposing the extra attached pieces.

Take a bow.
