Can anyone think how this is possible?

Yes, it's easy to reproduce, just try it yourself.

I'm too lazy, but it's fun to watch someone else does it

Yup .. you take a strip of paper, give it a twist and paste the ends together then you get a pair of scissors ...

Try giving it two twists ...

While the mobius strip is two-dimensional, you can also play in three dimensions. See Cliff Stoll's web site http://www.kleinbottle.com/ and enjoy!

These are really cool...and I have the utmost admiration for those who made the really huge one! When I took a course in glass-blowing in college (not in the art department, but the chemistry department for making chemical equipment) I never could make the Klein bottle!
