Throwing Card Methods

[nelsonguo2]

Wow the one you suck most at I got the first time- That fergusen grip one. I just spun and released and it was like one of those ninja stars spinning, and the rest I fail at -.-

[jack688]

I recomend a grip between the pinky and ring finger. Simply place the top slit of the card between, tuck your wrist inward towards you and flick your arm out, as well as your fingers, it throws far, hard, and at distances of about 5-10 feet, is quite accurite (can hit a folded playing card with this style)

I may make a video of this sometime.

I want to comment in general on two things:

1. The Jay throw you used is actually the "Herrmann" throw, devised by Alexander Herrmann in the late 1800's. The "Rick Smith" throw is actually called the "Thurston" throw, devised in the early 1900's (no doubt earlier, but it wasn't as widely known).

Otherwise, nice throwing and good luck!

@CardsAsWeapons

they're different

He is actually using the hermann throw here, the ricky jay grip has the index finger and the adjacent corner

[CardsAsWeapons]

@z11223344

That's exactly what I said!

[frunlakiso2]

i prefer the thurston grip,you have most control of it,go's fast, and is powerfull

[AwesomeMakerOfVideos]

for some reason i tried the fergueson grip throw and my card bounced of my tv the bounced off my wall and hit me in the stomach XD

[coolluci]

[Kaperdabomb]

to be honest from my experience the grip doesnt really matter its just all in the wrist i mean i know i cant throw far but still its all in the wrist D= im trying to get from 15m to over 20-25m hopefully

[xRNEx]

The grips are wrong, the body motion is a bad imitation of Rick Smith Jr and you don't use your wrist while throwing which is essential if you want to improve your throwing.

[CardsAsWeapons]

@xRNEx

Actually, wrist motion is not as important as most people think in certain throws. South American throws, for example, rely on a very fast arm motion and sudden stop in order to propel the card out of a loose grip. It's almost like a "jabbing" motion. Very little wrist motion is required in the Jay throw as well. It's an art motion with a follow through. In the Thurston grip (not the "Rick Smith"), however, wrist motion is required unless accuracy is the main "aim" of the throw.

[milligan666]

half of the grips are wrong

[Biri1995]

[glasskettle]

[garethlloyd123]

[bicyclejr1]

dude your a idiot

[biggy887766]

lol i was practicing and accidently cut my calender using the rick smith style throw. OOPS =)

[khnarutofan]

i naturaly used the ricky jay throw when i first threw a card, i didnt know it even existed till i watched the vid XD..

[gobydude]

I throw using sort of my own style; I grip the northwest edge of the card with my index and middle fingers. I can get a lot of speed that way, while sacrificing some accuracy.

[poohead993]

i do sort of rick smith st

[Halogangsta9]

The paint on my walls is all chiped from throwing cards =(

[Fr0zenFiR3]
