"Phonebook Tearing Secrets of A Genuine Old Time Strongman - Revealed"

This Unique how-to DVD teaches you step-by-step how to tear any phone book in half - no matter how big, no matter how thick

Dear Friend,
When you ask someone what the most impressive strength feat is, 99 out of a 100 people will tell you "tearing a phonebook in half." It's true; that is the one feat guaranteed to "knock 'em dead" every time" and also why many of the old time strongmen always included it in their act.

When someone sees a phonebook torn in half in front of their own eyes, the first thought that pops into their mind is always the same:

"I wonder if I can do that?"

Well, the answer to that question is a resounding "YES, you can!" and before I tell you how I know this is undoubtedly true, first I want to tell you about something that happened to me recently:

Instant Amazement - Guaranteed!

You see, whenever phone book tearing comes up in a conversation, it is always "I saw a guy do it on TV once" or something to that effect. Few people have actually seen one torn in half in person but when they do they never forget it.

Recently, I was eating lunch with a buddy of mine at a nearby restaurant. While we were catching up on old times, I casually mentioned that I was still working a few interesting strength feats such as tearing a phone book in half.

My buddy Travis didn't believe it for a second and so I offered to tear any phonebook right in two without even leaving my seat.

So he called the waitress over and asked to "borrow" a phone book if they had one available. She left and came back a few minutes later with a giant phone book in hand. I'm sure she though this one was impossible to tear in half.

Without even flinching, I put my hamburger down and tore the phone book in half without even leaving my seat. As I handed the waitress the two pieces, you should have seen the look on everyone's faces. - Not just my buddy and the waitress, but the whole restaurant that all of a sudden started paying attention to all the commotion. What they didn't know was that I had a Genuine Old Time Strongman show he how to do it right.

Learn How to Tear a Phone book From a Genuine Old Time Strongman

A Grip that Rips You can do this too! You are probably thinking that anyone who can tear a phonebook in half must be built kinda like Paul Bunyan but what if I told you the guy who tears phone books in half better than anyone else in the world is only 5'8" inches tall and weighs 165 lbs?

It's true, I'm talking about Dennis Rogers, A genuine Old Time Strongman who has performed many amazing strength feats, (such as phone book tearing and nail driving) in front of millions of people on TV shows around the world.

Dennis is a good friend of mine and when he was in town a few months back, he asked me if I wanted to learn how to tear phonebooks the right way.

Did I ? - You bet I did, that's like an art lesson from Picasso!

Dennis told me I had plenty of strength, just didn't know how to apply it correctly and Dennis showed me exactly how to do it. This is a common problem according to Dennis, probably the biggest thing holding most people back. Dennis helped me correct that problem easily.
