It is not for demonstration it is for practice, it is highly unlikely that your next door neighbours kid could do that ( although you can't exclude beginners luck!).
I dunno, Mark... the fact that you allow for possible "beginner's luck" should be enough to answer your question. There are too many variables, including as I said, the tension and way the the paper is held. I'm not into "sword-cutting", "paper tricks", and so on. It's usually more role-playing than I have time for. I suggest people practice the basics before they practice the gew-gaws.

Mike
