Rooted in tribal customs and cultural traditions from around the world, making string figures is an ancient pastime that continues to charm people of all ages. This compilation of projects from String Figure Magazine presents easy-to-follow photographs and simple, step-by-step directions for creating more than two dozen captivating string figures that can jump, flip, and perform other tricks.
In addition to basic instructions on how to get started, this guide features brief accounts of each figure's historical background. They include "Kidnapped Baby" and "Broken Home, Mended Home" from Hawaii, "A Flock of Birds" and "Old Man Chewing" from the Solomon Islands, and the Australian "Setting Sun." From the Congo come "Leopard's Mouth," "Rubber Band" from Tibet, and from India, "Scissors." Other figures spotlight the traditions of North America's Navajo and Kwakiutl peoples and natives of Brazil, Guyana, and Argentina. A great travel pastime and on-the-go activity, making string figures is a delightful, inexpensive, and easily acquired hobby.

Looks good, fits good, works good
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
I LOVE it! I bought the one with the cord at first and then returned it for the one without the cord and I'm 100% in love with it. It looks good, the magnetic strength is awesome and I love the fact that it can swivel around too

Very slow, but good quality
Color: 2White
It works as expected, but my phone says that it is a slow charger even when plugged in my fast charger brick. False advertising. Really wish it charged a little faster

Slow As a Turtle
Color: 2White
Super slow charging. After 10 minutes, my phone only charged 3%. I plugged my original charging cord into the same 65W charging block and after 2 minutes, it had charged nearly 10%.
