Hey you gotta start somewhere, and from my experience those are the best cards to start out with. Congrats and great job....Brett

Count the cards - most decks have more than 52 cards in them - you may have done better than you thought. Congratulations - my first deck took me forever and I had blood coming out from under a fingernail, etc. It gets better over time, though.

Congratulations Popeye!

I tore my first deck in Wal Mart, before paying for the deck. I just wanted to see how tough the brand was (VIP) before buying a whole bunch. Just as I was finishing up the deck a lady in a wheelchair come rolling by me with a look of shock on her face. She asked "What are you doing?" and "Are you going to pay for those?" I was pretty emarrassed and had to explain to her that I was not a magician but was working on a feat of strength.

Just out of curiosity how do you lot train to tear cards? by starting low and adding a card a time or do you heavily train your pinch grips? It really interest's me, what a quality party trick to have up your sleeve.

Here's a pic if anyone's interested:

My training has consisted of grippers, pony clamp, home made wrist roller, block pinch, powerball and a bar with a weight at one end that I hold behind me and lift with my wrist.

One can only wonder if this scene was picked up by the security cameras. :D
