I always did want to learn how to rip a phone book in half with my bare

It's a physics trick - you hold the phone book just right, spine down,
and slide the cover facing you down just a little, and you are only
tearing a few pages at a time.
With a little practice, it looks convincing.

And even easier if you thoroughly dry out the phone book in the oven first
(an electric oven is best - no water vapour by-products of combustion).
Just a little further trickery to add to the problem,
