Hey Sam,

There are a couple of videos out there of me folding the model.  Here's one
I found in the YouTube search engine:

This particular one is called the cicada boomerang glider.  Nothing special
about it.  As Michael Weinstein notes, you just have to play around with
the rear elevators/aileron or stabilizer.  Then have a consistent pattern
of how to throw.

I'm sure there are videos from festivals I've done where I explain how I
toss it (I'm right-handed and give it a leftward tilt- but I still try and
release it straight).  Depending on the weight of the paper and feel for
how it wants to fly, you just have to adjust the angle of your release; or
tweak the right aileron a bit more.

Here's a very recent video of me flying it outdoors:
