climber511 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 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.

EricMilfeld Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 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.

thedon83 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
