How to Throw Cards With Skill

knifethrowing.info — Throwing cards as deadly weapons seems impossible. Little bits of cut-out cardboard suddenly becoming capable of piercing hard fruit, drywall, or even a brown paper lawn bag is beyond the believable unless you are open to anything you've seen on TV-or anything, period

  • earthtoandy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I love this.

    they actually tested the "deadly weapon" myth on mythbusters. They made a machine that flug the cards at 150mph and still only made little paper cuts in the skin (they actually tested it on themselves) Pretty funny.

  • zenghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the book "Cards As Weapons" from Ricky Jay is banned because of the deadly potential cards have.

    mmm, card throwing machine. pardon the comment spam
  • ralcocer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ricky Jay used to hold the world record of the longest distance a playing card is thrown. He's also an excellent sleight of hand magician, and he used to end his Broadway show with an exposé of card throwing techniques. Pretty amazing.
  • jonwedd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love when people talk about Card Throwing. I like to think that my 1997 appearance on MTV Unfiltered inspired a lot of people to try it.

    Here is the clip on Google Video:

    (may have to copy and paste that to get the link to work)

    If you want to learn how to throw cards, check out my instructional DVD, available at www.ThrowCards.com

    1) buy video and ff>> through boring parts.

    4) draft blueprint for skin tight costume..
    5) take out full page assassin ad in newspaper..
    6) laugh maniacally while raking in the dough...
  • SLoTH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love useless information.
  • doctechnical, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ricky Jay (author and movie star) wrote a book about throwing cards years ago. Also did a pictorial for Playboy (back in '77), where he used thrown cards to break balloons taped to naked chicks.

    I say on the Boobies front alone, Ricky Jay gets the nod as the card throwing master. Tony who? ;)
  • utdiscant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have been throwing cards for a couple of months.. can get them through a newspaper :P
  • FishyJoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If you want to check out some great card stunts check out http://superhandz.com/. De'vo is one of the best card manipulators in the world.
  • EnzanBlues, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I too saw that one mythbuster's on the card throwing a while back, and that made me want to throw cards. I never looked anything up on it and I sort of taught myself how to throw cards. This is a good digg though.
  • brewer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ricky Jay can also throw a card INTO A WINE BOTTLE. yup. Card throwing master.

    BTW, I use a modified Thurston method. Most of them really scream, but 1/4-1/3 of them just flutter to the ground.
  • middy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have a friend who used to fling playing cards at walls and make them stick. Cork board works best. :)
  • Remy_LeBeau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ahh, my beloved skill! I have wowed many a drunk party goer by throwing cards into dartboards from the line.
