Card Throwing – the Simple “trick” to Do This Right (Complete Guide)

I saw a couple of card throwing tricks on here which was very good, but after wasting a long time watching the instructions I was going nowhere.

After some work, I concluded the simple piece that was juggling. You should not try to throw the cards but spin them!

Here you Watch Quick Video 😉

What are throwing cards?

A fusion of card throwing awesomeness — with a sonic scream. Card throwers destroy dozens of decks while practicing their throwing. … Banshees are the result of an unyielding attention to craftsmanship and the first-ever playing cards that are the new standard to creating impact with your card throwing.

Step 1: Getting Started.

All you need to get started is a deck of cards and someplace to throw them. I would suggest around indoors where you won’t knock stuff over and break it.

Any cards will do, I used inexpensive crappy paper ones and expensive plastic coated ones and didn’t notice a lot of difference.

The main points to keep in mind are:

*Don’t attempt to throw the card! This seems silly but this is precisely the error I was making. The card has no weight and if you attempt to throw it like you would a heavier thing it will flutter for a little and soil about 2ft away. You will need to twist the card and this activity all comes in the wrist. The faster you are able to spin the card the better it will fly!

*You are going to need to place some forward motion in your forearm but this is a gentle, relaxed movement merely to provide the card some forward momentum.

*You will need to keep your arm and wrist very relaxed. The entire motion does not require plenty of force and you’ll most likely realize that the harder you try and throw the card the less likely you are to succeed.

Step 2: How to Hold Card (Card Throwing).

The following page shows the two ways I held the card. Both worked for me but you could find one works better than another for you.

The first way was to hold it between your indicator and middle finger in a small diagonal using the tips of your characters on the corner of the card. When you throw it you want the card to pivot around the ends of your characters to give it a spinning movement.

The next way is truly very near the way I hold cards when I am dealing. As you throw it you use your index finger to bring the spin.

Step 3: Throwing Technique

As I said the entire purpose is to have a relaxed, smooth, arm motion to provide the card forward momentum and a relaxed snapping of the wrist to provide the card spin.

You barely have to move your arm whatsoever. The image below shows you the motion that you would like. Do this gently, trust me it’ll work much better this way then trying to put plenty of weight on it.

As soon as you have the technique down (which if I’ve explained this properly should be on about the 2nd or 3rd card you throw) you can get decent distance on each and every card.

The more you practice the quicker you’ll have the ability to twist the cards and the farther and faster you will be able to make them fly.

Here are Few Questions you Might Find Interesting

How do you throw a card fast?

Snap your wrist forward. In one fast, smooth motion, swing your arm forward from your shoulder and step into throw like throwing a baseball to get the most power and accuracy out of the card. At the end of that motion, unroll your wrist, spreading your middle and ring finger slightly to release the card.

What is the world record for the longest card throw?

The current world record for farthest card thrown is held by Rick Smith, Jr. who threw a card 65.96 meters (216 feet, 4 inches) on December 2, 2002. This is also the current record for the fastest throw, clocked at 148 kilometers per hour (91.96 mph).

How do you throw a card?

With your index finger resting on the top-right corner, place your thumb and middle finger on opposite sides of the card, pressing in on the middle towards each other. Make a peace sign with your dominant hand and clasp a card between the two fingers. Bend them over the top slightly and throw.

How do you deal with the cards?

Deal the first card to the person on your left. Toss the card face down across the table to the player. You may also lay the card on the table and slide it to the player. Continue dealing cards to players in a clockwise direction

Do you deal clockwise or counterclockwise?

Dealing is done either clockwise or counterclockwise. If this is omitted from the rules, then it should be assumed to be: clockwise for games from North America, North and West Europe, and Russia; counterclockwise for South and East Europe and Asia, also for Swiss games and all Tarot games.

Is it clockwise to the left or right?

clockwise (typically abbreviated as CW) motion is one that proceeds in the same direction as a clock’s hands: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back up to the top.
