The Amazing Phone Book Incident
Billy decided to step up his income by becoming a magician. On his first performance, his first 29 tricks went over like a flapjack. For his grand finale, small, weak, Billy would tear in half a New York City Phone Book with his bare hands. When he approached the podium holding the phone book, he focused his mind on the 500 people in front of him and the $10 apiece that they had paid. He picked up the phone book and tore it in half almost effortlessly. How?
Note: he did not just tear it down the middle of the spine.

Cute, and I know this is supposed to work,
though I've never tried it. But I hope this
doesn't become a precedent for "let's make this
magic trick into a teaser." Those tend to fall in the
category of "either you know it or you don't, with
not much chance of figuring it out if you don't."

It isn't a magic trick into a teaser, i think i read it in a teaser book, i don't know...
very clever!
THat's cheating. Also, it should burn his hands.
it wasn't still hot when he picked it up, and do you think that it's possible to make a rabbit appear in your hat without cheating?
Yes, Yes I do
Couldn't he just soak them in water??
He COULD shlep it all up in water, but it would be extremely obvious to the group.
woah! i never even heard u could do that 
haha i still luv that face!
