[Limecapp]

you are so awesome man quick question have you ever thrown a card into glass?

[eliazzen]

its not possible glass is to hard

[eliazzen]

its not possible glass is to hard

[Limecapp]

he can throw a card into a water melon anything is possible

[eliazzen]

lol even i kan get a card stuck in a water melon but glass is to hard for a paper card may be possible if you use a creditcard

[xxxYeaYxxx]

true

[GSCrepresentative]

he said 90 km/h right? so he could prob shatter the glass, but nothing would get stuck in the glass.

[gregg98756]

no he said 90 miles per hour!

[JeppeTrabergS]

i think he uses 100 % plastic

[RickSmithJr]

100% bicycle playing cards

[JeppeTrabergS]

Then how can you bend them?

[StyIesOfBeyond]

Bend what? Dude, Rick here can throw a regular playing card, MADE OF PAPER, at over 90 mph. And actually, when I've done it with a plastic card, is harder to thrpw them, because of their weight.

[Blondesarecute417]

@JeppeTrabergS dude it is real i have done this many times and i once cut into a piece of wood

[cooleddies]

wtf, thats like saying can you throw a feather through a concrete wall.......

[RickSmithJr]

There just paper cards, watch the time warp video, you will see it in slow motion

[JeppeTrabergS]

well okay :) Rick did you ever see the mythbusters episode where they prove that it's impossible to kill somebody with a paper card? i think they should try with 100 % plastic ^^'

[MRcrispy00]

@JeppeTrabergS Use sharp metal cards :)

[GSCrepresentative]

he'd be able to shatter it.

[arabianjoker12]

actually u r forgetting how light the card is the speed of da card is cancelled out by the weight of card and material its mad from i think hahaha

[ChrisStephensTCW]

@RickSmithJr How many times do u practice

[ILLUSIONIST95]

rick how did you fireflick the cards

[VivanTheCardMan]

I think you can see that in his DVD.

[redsoxmagicman]

rick what was your favorite show to be on?

[RickSmithJr]

Ripley's Believe it or Not!

[slick6737]

ok, thank you

[VivanTheCardMan]

Ah. now I see.

I have the great disadvantage of not being a baseball player, but how would you suggest improving the aim? I can do the cans (a month of drinking something every day)and banana, but only after quite a number of tried. How would you suggest one would practice?

[slick6737]

i got to ask u... how do u do that one little shuffle thing... like when ur talking or about to throw the card?

[RickSmithJr]

Its a cut I learned from a guy named Bill Malone, I'm not sure what the cut is called though.

[th4ton3guy]

i think i can beat ur record lol

[snake92]

how many years u been practising for? id love to learn. wicked party trick:D

[RickSmithJr]

throwing for about 8 yrs now

[boobsquad]

rick, how do u practice the aiming aspect of throwing cards?

[RickSmithJr]

the aiming came with me being a NCAA baseball pitcher

[RickSmithJr]

its a mrthod using Audley Walshes Pop up cards from the Taurbell Course in Magic

[fish1963]

How do you launch cards of the deck using your finger? I can only do it with my thumb.
