Card throws

Learn 5 ways how to shoot, throw or flick playing cards from one hand to another and complete your Harry Potter cosplay look with some mad skillz. Very epic. 

Inspired by Andrei Jikh's consulting work, we decided to share five of our favourite and easy methods of throwing a playing card into thin air. All of these can be used to mimic what Daniel Radcliffe's character did in the Now You See Me 2 movie scene. Most of these are beginner level cardistry moves, including the snapshot throw by Andrei which we try to learn ourselves at the end. If you were looking for a card throwing tutorial, this is where it's at. Get access to more unique cardistry tutorials with the purchase of Z Deck, our first playing cards.
