'Paper Magic' by Percy Abbott was published by Abbott Magic in 1941. U F Grant subsequently claimed that many of the ideas used in the book were his and ceased his involvement with Abbott Magic as a result. Information from Paper Magic by Percy Abbott.

I have not see a full copy of this book but the contents are:

• The performer makes a paper fir tree - and then actually climbs it
• A cabinet is made from paper - shown empty - and a girl crashes through it from apparently nowhere
• A paper bag escape - under test conditions
• A Challenge Slow Motion Torn Cigarette Paper which will baffle well informed magicians
• The Wad Catching Bullet Trick
• Making a dress for your assistant
• The Malini Torn Cigarette Paper
• The new torn magazine page
• Mickey Mouse Steps Out of the Funnies
• Paper Pictures
• Flag Cremation
• Sun and Moon
• Wall Paper Trick
• Cleo's Slaves
• Nu Clippo routine and many more

some of which may be paperfolding related.
