i know how to make one.
its essentially a flipper card
u need 3 cards, 2 have to b dupes and the single card should preferably b a picture card. take one of the dupes and set it aside u dont need it yet.
take the other 2 cards and cut them exactly in half. and they both have to b perfectly straight.
now take one half of the dupe and also a peice of latex/dental dam
u need to glue the half piece to the other full dupe with the dental dam right along the middle edge.u then need to glue one half of the cut up single card onto the half piece of the dupe, sandwiching the latex between the 2 half pieces.
what u should have right now is a playin card with 2 halfs of other cards stuck on one edge of it with a piece of latex across the middle join. the half pieces are face up as well as the full playin card, and the upper most half piece is the odd card.
what u need to do next is place the other half piece of the dupe into place on the full card. do not glue it down tho, just hold it in place. u need to place it so that it is face to face with the full card. stretch the latex over the join and stick the latex in place.
next sandwich the latex with the other piece of the single half card but make sure this is face up.
ok so a check of everythin. u should have a full card at the bottom, then on the lower half of that u have glued the 2 half pieces of the other cards and have a piece of latex in the middle of them, then at the top half of the full card u should have the other 2 pieces of half cards but the dupe half is facin the opposite way.
now when u fold the top half down and position ur thumb over the join it looks like just one card, but as soon as u release ur thumb the flap springs up and the card seems to change into somethin different.
as u can tell its not easy to make ur own but it is possible

ok basically the latex is sandwich beetweeen the 2 halfs of the cut up cards, then stretch and put between the other two halfs of the cards, then u just glue them to the full card....thats the basic simplest way of puttin it
