Q&A for How to Throw Cards Accurately

Throwing cards accurately requires a lot of time, practice, and familiarity with handling a deck of cards. Start by getting comfortable holding the cards in your hand, allowing yourself to get a feel for their weight and texture. Practice holding the cards in different positions, experimenting with grips and finger placements to find what works best for you. Once you feel confident in your grip, begin practicing throwing and flicking the cards. Focus on the motion of your wrist and the amount of force you apply to the cards to achieve the desired distance and accuracy. Adjust your technique as needed, paying attention to the angle and release of the cards to improve your accuracy over time. With consistent practice and patience, you'll gradually develop the skill and precision required to throw cards accurately.

Yes they are, but I would strongly recommend getting banshee throwing cards as they can hold up better than regular cards.

Usually Bicycle, or cards similar to it with that plastic covering that makes them a lot more durable.

There is no easy way to stop it, but I usually throw my cards a little left of the target. This happens mostly because of the spin.

By flicking your wrist and getting more spin and force on the card's spin so it hits the target and pierces.

Put it between your middle and ring finger. Flick your wrist while throwing to add spin.

You should let go once your fingers are pointed at the target; this makes the card fly straight to where you are pointing. You may need to adjust your positioning slightly if you are missing the target.

You can use normal cards like Bicycle, but razors would be better for slicing.

Yes, but it will feel a bit different. I recommend filing off the numbers and letters on the face of the card if it’s not active anymore. Also, it’s width and weight are slightly different from throwing cards, but they are much more durable.

If you bought the deck for throwing, use another card. If you bought them for playing games with, assess the damage - can you still use it? If so, great. If not, you will need to buy a new deck.

Make sure to release the card towards the target you want to hit. The timing is critical when throwing cards, and if you release it a second too early or late, it could mess up your shot.

There are multiple ways you can throw cards. You can put multiple in the same spot your first card is, and It'll act more like a shotgun of cards. The second way is to put one between your pointer and middle finger, your middle and ring finger, and your ring and pinkie finger. This technique is more advanced and takes a lot of time to master it.

A Frisbee throw can gain a good distance, while overhand provides more power.

You can use any card. The heavier the card, the more powerful the throw, while thinner, lighter cards allow for more accuracy with practice. UNO cards are heavier than normal cards so aim will be harder, but power will be easier.
