Mark says:

There a a ton of ways to throw cards. Ive checked out a few different ways to hold them but I still like my way. I curl my knuckles (like making a fist, but loosely) and stick the card between my first and second knuckle between the index and middle finger… after that just snap your wrist and let it go. I also put pressure on my index finger with my thumb to hold the card tighter. It seems to work better. After a little while using your arm comes naturally and the card goes alot farther… If that doesnt work, i also like the technique posted here http://www.davidslife.com/funstuff/cards/technique.htm
That also seems to work well for me. I know my directions might be a little confusing without any pictures but I hope I could help anyway

Jon Wedd says:

Here is the easiest way to learn to throw cards like a master:
http://www.cardthrowing.com/video/
It is an instructional video. It’s awesome. It will teach you the basics of how to hold the card, and throw it. Then it moves on to advanced techniques, including how to cut some one with a card!

lol i heard it was possiblew 2 kill a personb with playing cards

josh says:

impossible, mythbusters busted the myth

Jordan says:

right i saw that episode too..this is a one time post so dont post a reply me and if u do u are truly a retard…..anyway but apparently david blane ( a insanly ….insane magician for thoes who dont know) threw a card “apparently” at 120mph …

Andrew says:

david blane truly is damn amazing. oh, and btw, i aint replying to jordan, so anyone who calls me a retard, you are a retard. a born one. anyways… yeah, david blane done this thing where he threw a card against the window in a cell of london eye and it appeared on the other side, facing him. then he looked into the river and on a boat was a giant version of the card he just threw. i don’t think he did it alone though… i reckon he had some special fx help. obviously. i mean, that’s impossible… aint it?

Tanner WACKERS says:

James says:

once i Threw a card it hit my brothers stomach and he got stiches

JasonX says:

On mythbusters jamie managed to hurl a card using his homemade card thrower at 240 Kilometers a Hour ….quite impressive , but still not enough to kill anyone, there conclusion was that the card did not have enough weight behind it. But it did manage to penetrate the ballistics gell.

i started throwing cards 2 days ago and i my biceps and forearm are really sore.. haha… but its sooo much fun!

Brian says:

OK. heres my deal
Ive been throwing cards since i was in like kindergarden/1st grade time area
i throw really good with fingers 1 and 2
if you count corners clockwise number 1 goes between fingers 1 and 2 in the first bend of your fingers and you sorta curl your hand and put hand on chest and uppper arm should be out and foward and never move your upper arm its mostly in the wrist but you need your elbow to aim ok well thats how i do it and im really fast like 60-70 something mph and pretty accurate but everybody keep practicing

james says:

well i learned my own way, well i cant use other peoples ways can i, i have made paper targets 8 sheets thick and the cards have gone through them with ease, i love the ability to be able to do this…its great, throwing cards is so fun, but the down side is as i throw them very fast my cards are destroyed so i have to spend loads of cash on cards…

Dylan says:

You guys need to learn some grammar. Maybe typing I throw cards well instead of typing I throw cards good. What losers…

Zach says:

i just started throwing cards a few weeks ago and i can get a load of spin on it and pretty good distance, but i still cant get very good accuracy. If anyone has any tips on how to get some accuracy going that would help me out alot.

I’ve been throwing cards since Grade 4…
Grade 8 now. The most important thing to get the card flying is the spin. Beginners usually make a big mistake by throwing their arms forward, but their wrist isn’t moving at all. Flick your wrist in thr “right” direction if you’re right handed. Use a bit of arm as you get more experienced…eventually, you’ll be able to make that “WHEEEEEEE” kind of sound from the card when it flies extremely fast…I took me 4 weeks to do that though…remember…lots of practice.

Flick your wrist in the “right” direction if you’re right handed. Use a bit of arm as you get more experienced… but add more wrist if the card flutters and drops… remember the two main parts, spin and arm. The spin (wrist) keeps it in the air while the power (arm) maximizes the flying speed. Eventually, you’ll be able to make that “WHEEEEEEE” kind of sound from the card when it flies extremely fast…I took me 4 weeks to do that though…remember…lots of practice.

lee says:

Alphonse says:

The best type of cards you should buy is Bicycle i tested out 4 diffrent packs and the plastic coated air cushion finished biycycle cards worked best.. and a question i got the hang of throwing the cards but when i throw the cards corners face the ground and spin like a razor is it supposed to be side ways or am i doing this right?

boucho says:

Wow,

Zeplar says:

I just started learning how to throw cards a couple days ago, and I can already get them to go across rooms (didn’t know it was that easy!) but they always flip and start spinning vertically… is that supposed to happen?
One of my friends can throw cards really well and he hit the wall of my house once, and the card broken in half!

Why the fuck are you guys aiming at kittens?
… Its fun to throw credit cards because they have more weight on them.
dont use your parents visa though, because the plastic cards crack pretty easily

Hic says:

Yeah, I know how it feels…I’ve cracked quite a few myself too -_-

AnimeLoverGirl says:

AnimeLoverGirl says:

Hic says:

TI YANG, age doesnt affect your ability to throw cards…I doubt you’re superior then everyone else in this forum -_-

Hellfire says:

Yeah, I’ve just been throwing cards for like a few years, something to do when I get bored. The way I do it is by:
1. Placing the card between my index and middle finger, with them slightely curved toward me. The card should only go in about half way.
2. I place my arm into a 90 degree angle, still holding the card loosely in the grip, and curve my wrist slightly back.
3. I bring my arm down and horizontely releasing the card with a snap from my wrist.
Heres a better explaination:
http://www.knifethrowing.info/throwing_cards.html
use the Thurston method

jt says:

I have a mini cd and i threw it kind of like a card and it flew very well straight into a quarter inch thick of glass and broke it into big shards it was sweet

eli says:

you guys want to throw cards here is a tip to throw cards get a stress ball.
k? now dont throw cards for at least a week!!! you willjust redelvelop your bad habits and also if you are using this for self defense i suggest u use a throw that is named the dolphin dart it is one of the best throws becase a beginner can easily throw it 25 feet also this is not a joke you can email me at [email protected]

ross says:

i have been throwing cards for like 12 hours now and I have read almost every site I could find. I use the jay grip. I purchased a whole bunch of bicycle cards and can get the card about 12 feet. After that the card alwaytips verically and goes to the left. (I throw right-handed.) If anyone has any tips on what I can do to make the card fly straight It would be greatly appreciated.

Dylan S. says:

i use Ricky Smith Jr.’s grip

Dylan S. says:

it is also known as the Thurston grip. For me, it has the most power and accuracy. I take the card and throw it like a curveball. When my card is i L foormation, I take my wrist and flick it sideways. It helps my accuracy

wfs says:

um lots of spin

ross says:

I kind of flick my wrist while holding onto only the tip of the card. I can get the card about 30 ft. doing this, but with absolutely no accuracy. I can get the card about half way threw a carrot from about 2 ft. but I can’t hit anything further than that! =(. How do you aim the cards? Am i doing something wrong because everyone here seems to be able to throw it right threw carrots.

sstew says:

Ok I dont know if its me but…my farthest throw is around 40-50 yards…lol my accuracy okay….I hit my sis and made her cry..so my accuracy’s not the bet but i can chuck a card though…Pokemon cards have some weight and I preffer thoughs ………problem is there so expensive

Gox says:

i’ve been throwing cards for 17 years. i Have gotten into many card fights.(not fun) playing cards like BICYCLE(R) work well indoors, and ok out doors. I use phone cards, creditcards, and some times CDs. There not really card but they’re neat. I once whipped a CD at the ceiling (don’t ask) and it got stuck in the ceiling on the 2nd floor.

Gox says:

Soup can lids r neat also. (and deadly)

Anonymous says:

Liam says:

Hi, Im from Australia and I have being practising card throwing for a couple of houirs now after inspiration off “Mythbusters”, and im finding some parts of it difficult.
With the Jays grip and basic action i can throw 25 feet quite comfortably but i notice that a lot of people use the technique “Dolphin Dart”, since it is faster than any other technique. If anyone has msn could you please add me:[email protected] and give me tips on how to throw my cards with speed and accuracy, using the “Dolphin Dart” Method

CICROCKETS says:

Hi…I started throwing cards the other day (Last night), and I found this website, http://www.davidslife.com/funstuff/cards/styles.htm. However, I had a hard time figuring out what the directions mean, like where the 90 degree angle is supposed to be, or where overhead, and I was wondering if anyone can help me, by finding some diagrams. Thanks a bunch. Just post up a link. I’ll be checking this board.

ninja says:

i have mastered throwing stars and i can throw a normal playing card 150 feet and also it can be painful when it hits

J says:

i didnt even know there were sites like this where people brag about how good they are, if anybody is intrested i taught my self to throw cards when i was 8 im now 16 and i can throw a card into a watermellon from 19 feet.

DF says:

Throwing cards is fun lol, I do it all the time in class and piss people off.
Anyways just reading people say you can’t kill someone by throwing cards, that’s not really true. If you throw a card hard enough, and had extremely good accuracy, it’s possible to hit pressure points in the neck, and cause it to clog from the impact.

Devon says:

i can throw a card 54 mph …. hey ninja you can’t throw a card 150 feet the record is 94 so shut up if your going to brag don’t lie about it…. watta loser

rpgalltheway123 says:

I am kinda new to throwing cards and I can throw them across a 12 metre room but how do people actually cut into things like bananas when I can’t even put a little scratch on the wall, maybe the thurston throwing method isn’t a good throwing technique, anyway if any could help me then that would be great, my hotmail is [email protected]

rpgalltheway123 says:

oh and I also heard of a throwing technique called the dolphin dart, could some one plz tell me how to do this because the instructions that I find on the internet is really hard to understand…

rpgalltheway123 says:

and also Devon your worng, is is possible to throw a playing card at 150 feet because Rick Smith Jnr. threw a card and it reached a total of 216 feet, so don’t go call people losers because they might not actually be lying

God_of_war_II says:

i started 2 hours ago, i tryed the thurston method and its really good but i still cant get it to cut through anything,ne1 got tips

ndhbhfhxk says:

I started throwing cards 10 minutes ago and it goes far but curves back at me.

Double Diamond says:

No josh it is possible, at least to paralyse someone. Just buy ricky jays $130 book, it shows you where to throw at a pressure point, besides, mythbusters didn’t shoot the card at the right spot and their machine sucked. Trust me, I’m the master, and it has been done,(que creepy music)

Double Diamond says:

To everybody asking for help
Card throwing takes weeks and months and maybe years to master. the thuston and jay teqnique stinks and all of go to http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6477342113213729713&q=card+throwing+technique&total=39&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0, just copy and paste it.
To sore arm its no in the power it is in the spon the faster the spin the farther and faster the card

Double Diamond says:

Now rick smith jr. is the master. You can find his cd at his website or ebay. It teches u stunts speed accurarcy distance and tricks it is the best. http://www.ricksmithjr.com/cleveland_magician.php?targetScript=dvd.rs.php

lardolad says:

I PWNED U ALL!!!!!!!!! I CAN THROW NORMAL CARD 168 FEET IN THE AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Card Master says:

grip the tip of the card between your index/middle finger(just ubove the knuckles) and hold back. then all you do if flick and release. if you exersize your wrist enough you can through up to 30 feet eazy and leave some deep cuts so be carefull

Pordgy says:
