Different Bicycles

I mentioned in a previous post that I like tear a deck of every brand, type, and style of plastic coated playing cards I come across. Today I added another deck to my collection.

Performing

Here are a few video clips from a performance I gave this morning. Some of the other feats I performed while there were tearing phone books, tearing decks of cards - tore a deck hand cuffed as well, bent a horseshoe, and broke chain with my HAIR. The video was rolling and we captured this crazy #8 break, I ended up breaking a total of 27 links on this one! Stay tuned, this one will be on my upcoming DVD release - it's almost complete and you won't want to miss it!

260 Card Pick Up

Tonight turned into quite a productive card tearing session. After going through several other decks of cards, I finished by tearing this deck of playing cards into 5 pieces before calling it a night.

Drywall Hammer

Sunday afternoon fun, that blade was nasty.

Double Corner Tear

After I tore a full deck of cards the first time I attempted it, I have constantly looked for ways to make this feat more difficult. To add new goals, new challenges to the things I have already succeeded with. With the cards for example, I have quartered horizontally, notched, eighths, double vertically torn, and of course the double corner tear. I have wrapped them in duct tape, torn in the box, duct taped in the box, worn oven mitts, behind the back, hand cuffed, etc.,etc.,etc.

I am not mentioning these things to be boastful, what I'm getting at here is don't be satisfied and grow stagnant, every time you reach a goal add to it and go after the next one with commitment and passion. Over time you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish! Enjoy your journey.

Happy New Years!

I wanted to bring 2009 in with a "BANG"! I knew this wrench would break, however it gave me a little surprise...
