How To Tear A Phone Book In Half

Even if you are a 5’5″ stick figure, you are going to be able to pull this off. Your build is irrelevant. It’s all about technique and trickery. The trick is to break the spine of the book. Once that’s done, it will be a piece of cake getting through those pages.

Grip the phone book by its spine with your hands about 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart. You want your index fingers close together on the top face of the book with your thumbs on the bottom.

Twist the spine back and forth until it begins to tear. Then bend the spine straight again. Hold the book close to your body and bend your arms. If you try to tear it with your arms outstretched away from your body, you’ll never generate enough power to tear through it.

Now in one quick powerful movement, tear down the rip in the spine and right through the pages. You should have two halves of a phone book now. Now she’s sure to sleep with you.
