No Tear Pad (Small, 3.5 X 3.5, Tear/No Tear Alternating) by Alan Wong

A Tear & No Tear Alternating Pad Trick

What could be easier to tear than a simple sheet of paper? Know the world over as being one of the simplest things to rip, this trick challenges the imagination, and perhaps the egos of some of the worlds strongest people.

The secret is in the layout of the pad’s sheets. The top sheet is in all ways a sheet of paper that you, and perhaps even a baby with a fair amount of grip strength can tear. Though this is not true of the next sheet in the pad which is made from materials that feel a lot like paper, but are not. This sheet is of course for your unwitting participant. The entire pad is leafed like this with alternating sheets of paper underlaid by another sheet that simply cannot be rend a sunder.
