how to card throw

This isn't deadly but it's easy and fun.
all you need is:
a card
and some free time

please do not am at eyes or other vulnerable parts

Step 1 Getting the card ready

take the card and put it in between your index and middle finger
on the top left corner, as you see in the picture


but if you follow step 2 and you can't do it just try it this way,
instead of putting the card in between your middle and index finger on the top left corner put them on the whole top like the next picture.

My friend and I were throwing cards at each other and my friend hit a 5 year old kid in the jaw. he cried and where the card hit was all red and the kids mom yelled at us.

me and my mate used to bring in a deck of cards to school on Fridays and b4 school assembly we would wait behind stage (GO BAND!) and let all hell brake loose. over the terms we lost about 3 decks of cards but it was well worth it... apart form the paper cuts we got from them.

Throwing cards is always fun. I've been doing it since fifth grade (in 8th now.) It's pretty impressive how hard you can throw with a lot of practice.

I've only once made it stick into drywall. It was completely by accident, and I couldn't do it again. Sadness =(

To anyone who is having trouble: practice, practice, practice!

after only a week i can hit a dictionary from like 20 feet away 4 out of 5 times. thanks for the great instructable. the only problem is that you don't have rules for the card fights/wars! for example my friends and i follow these rules: -only allowed three decks (otherwise kids buy like twenty decks from the dollar store) -Don't come to the war if you can only throw a card three feet. (i posted it as a bullitin the other day at the school for after school so 6 people show up and 2 leave cause they can't throw or can't learn how to throw...) -have two teams and give them different colored shirts or jerseys to wear. -wear goggles or other eye protection. Yeah so thanks and i'll keep practicing. -J

this is my first instructable what do think.

Hello, and welcome to the Instructables community!

This currently does not meet our criteria for an Instructable. A completed Instructable:

- details a finished project with instruction (not just links to instructions)
- has clear images that you took of your project (web-found clip-art is not acceptable)
- uses proper spelling and grammar
- contains appropriate cautions or safety considerations
- does not violate someone else's copyright
- does not violate the Instructables terms of service
- is typically written about something you are very passionate about and want to share.

If this is a comment, a question, a small tip, or something that cannot truly be a finish project, please post it as a forum topic. If you are looking to start a collaboration, post a topic in the forums.

this is my first try. can you give more detail about what will make this better?

[Tetranitrate]

The way it looks now it would make a good forum post. If it were to be an instructable you should definitely "beef" it up a bit. Things like alternative throwing techniques, maybe some video footage, a list of the greatest distances you have achieved, just general stuff like that would help this project become instructable material.
