Banshees: Cards for Throwing - Trick

Throwing Stance While you think you may never break a world record, who’s to say you won’t. There is more power in your hands than you think and with a little guidance, you’ll find your card throwing abilities increase drastically in a short period of time.

All the other fingers should be up and out of the way. Playing cards and similar paper objects have very little mass and are not very aerodynamic except under certain circumstances. Simply throwing a card with no technique (that is, applying lateral speed only) usually will result in it fluttering about and falling to the ground. Achieving accuracy, distance, and force with a card requires giving it both lateral speed and angular momentum (i.e. "spin") along its z-axis. The spin creates gyroscopic stabilization so that the card's flat profile remains mostly parallel to the direction of travel and thus suffers the least possible air resistance.At the end of each practice throw, you want your hand to be straight and level with your index and middle fingers pointing straight ahead — pretend that your hand is a gun with just one shot and that your life depends on how straight your hand is and how accurately your fingers are pointing forward. skills posters that you can print and add to your display wall to reinforce the safe throwing techniques;

It can be very hard—if not impossible—to determine what corrections you need to be making when you’re not sure if your inaccuracy is because of you or your cards.
