  • Harry Luft, The Brooklyn Samson


    • Shown here is Harry Luft, age 17, performing his own specialty of tearing not one but TWO 2000 page telephone directories in half. Harry, who weighs but 142 pounds, stand 5 feet 4 and does other strongman feats such as bending iron bars in his teeth, is one of the "Samson Twins" of Brooklyn New York. The other twin is his 15 year old brother Sol who also bends iron bars in his teeth and who emulates his older brother's book tearing stunt by destroying Red Books, which are about 1/3rd as thick as the directories.
