Spinning top
The video is hosted on YouTube: it only loads when you press Play.
Don't be fooled by appearances: this spinning top is not as easy to fold as it looks! Nothing insurmountable, though, but don't use paper that is too thick, as the layers pile up a lot towards the end of the fold. A match will do for the axis, for a top folded from a 15 cm square. It is an origami by Juan Gimeno.
