paper tearing
What is paper tearing in a show act?
Paper tearing is an art of entertainment. Paper tearing form as a performing art has been around for a very long time, although in recent years there have been very few artists who have performed with such shows. Under Wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papiermanipulator) you can find an article, in which the paper tearing artist is called as a "paper manipulator", which isn´t the right designation. The content of the article is also not very substantial and describes this art form only inadequately. In the "last known paper manipulators", my father (by the end of 2012 as "Mister Paperman") is listed. A paper show contents fast effects and surprising creations that result from the paper tearing. Known effects such as palm trees or ladder are impressive for the spectators especially because of their size. Originality, surprise and amazement are important. Also comedy is a very important part of such a show.
