Watch Brian make you think he can use his bare hands to bend a horseshoe and to roll a frying pan!

This videos are cool, but it's kind of like watching professional wrestling. Some of it's impressive, but you know the whole thing is a sham. What would make these segments even better is a way to use them in real life situations.

So, anyone figure out a way to work this into a conversation?

Easy. You just approach someone you don't know, whip out your frying pan, and ask, "Hey, wanna see something cool?"

I don't know if you had added this on to the other strength school episodes, but I liked the special twist added to the intro.

Argh. Stop swaying the camera during the intro. That is so MTV VJ circa 1987!

But it adds some "edge" to it. :p

Those frying pans are thin and flexible. I knew that when he he picked up the lighter one. Notice he didn't bang that one on the floor? Learn to see the gimmicky parts. Brushwood teaches that all of the time. Plus, I had learned from comedians all the time how to use misdirection, only with words.

Back to the frying pans. I used to get hit in the head with those all the time. They did bend and all, but the guy hitting me would step on it to flatten it.....then hit me again. Didn't hurt too bad and made a great, loud noise with little damage done. Lotta great memories. Well I am told. I don't remember much. I am beginning to understand why.
