You’ve likely never even heard of it … but it remains one of the world’s best kept secrets.
Originally used at the dining tables of Austro-Hungarian royalty … the instructions for the ‘royal act’ of folding the ‘Hapsburg Napkin’ are treated as a top government secret in Austria!
And, while many have tried to ‘crack the code’ … to date, no one has succeeded.
It is believed, only two people in the entire world know precisely how it’s done … and they’ve sworn an oath to protect the secret – at any cost!
There are no written directions, anywhere.
Go ahead … try and google it!
In fact, the technique is only passed to another individual when death is imminent for one of the secret holders!
What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
Not much, really.
