Musing... if the Stones were playing cards...

Here is my choice :


Charlie - Ace, clubs
Mick - King, hearts
Keith - Queen, spades
Ron - Knave, diamond


Still musing, but very OT, I found some interesting website explaining the art of throwing and use them as deadly weapons. Feel free to feel like 007.

How it all began...
One day I was browsing through the magic section at Borders Book Store, when I stumbled upon an oddly titled book

that would eventually change my life and the history of the entire world. It was Cards as Weapons, by Ricky Jay. At

first I thought it was a joke, but then I began to flip through the pages. I saw photos showing the proper way to

grip the card and chapters on training exercises to improve distance and accuracy, I knew that this was the real

deal. I bought the book and within hours I was cracking cards against the wall of my room, within days I could

already hit the furthest walls in my house. I decided that this skill was so great that I could not keep it to

myself. My life now had a purpose- Spread the Joy and Confidence that comes from throwing cards.

Tricks
These are some of the things that I can do with ordinary playing cards:
Card in to Watermelon - just like in "Ricky Jay and his 52 assistants"
Boomerang card - again, a trick I learned from Ricky Jay
Card through newspaper(up to 3 sheets the card flys right through, 5 sheets I can pierce through and the card

sticks in)
Card over house
Behind the back toss
Card slap(card is given a slight toss, with a lot of spin, and then smacked by the finger tips, sending it flying)
Card kick(like card slap, but with foot. Very difficult)
Card on to HIGH roof(example: Malls, Gymnasiums)
Card on to Balcony - 3rd or 4th floor no problem, often higher
Card through skin(this used to happen a lot in card battles)
