What is claimed is: 1. A clapping apparatus comprising: a clapping plate comprising a planar striking surface and a planar back side; a planar area defined centrally in and recessed below said planar striking surface; at least one air hole disposed in said recessed planar area and completely penetrating orthogonally through said clapping plate; and a knob secured to said planar backside of said clapping plate. 2. The clapping apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of air holes penetrating orthogonally through said clapping plate. 3. The clapping apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a second clapping apparatus according to claim 1. 4. The clapping apparatus of claim 3 further comprising a flexible cord for physically coupling said clapping apparatuses to one another. 5. A method for generating a simulated clapping sound, the method comprising the steps of: disposing a first clapping apparatus in a first hand; disposing a second clapping apparatus in a second hand; providing mutually contactable planar striking surfaces on each of the clapping apparatuses, each striking surface having a recessed planar area at a substantially central portion of the mutually contactable planar surface; defining at least one hole through each of the clapping apparatuses within said recessed area; striking the planar striking surface of first clapping apparatus against the planar striking surface of the second clapping apparatus; and rapidly separating the striking surfaces.
