Default Splitting black bamboo

Just bought a black bamboo plant from a local garden centre at half price
- £17.50 for a large pot which isn't bad when a small pot of 'normal'
bamboo was £11.99.

Guy at the garden centre said it was worth trying to split it, before
planting up, as you can get several 'free' plants with luck.

So I Googled 'splitting bamboo'.

Apparently I need an assistant with very flexible legs and a relaxed
attitude.

However I am not sure quite how this helps me make new bamboo plants.
