I built one (modified to fold in thirds instead of in half). Works well. These look wrinkled because I let them sit in the laundry basket for days first.

For those of you who gave up on constructing a shirt-folding machine that works (and still think you need help with this very difficult task :D), here's an origami version.  I haven't quite gotten the knack of it yet, and am left with kind of a bunched up mess on one side.  Maybe you'll have more success.

Hold on, nudone.  Did I just notice a "cody peek" in your avatar, or am I hallucinating?  (Can you tell I'm trying to avoid doing something that REALLY needs to be done? :P)

Tried the "oragami" method, it totally works! not very hard, either. Remarkable.

Well, my results were not exactly as seen in the video, but close enough to satisfy *me*, and "good enough for government work" I'd say. ;) Just remember that some of the ugly bits are hidden on the back of the folded shirt...
