Clay Edgin Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 After about a minute and a half of intense effort, I tore my first deck of cards last night: http://www.darkmoorarmoury.com/strongman/deckofcards.jpg The hardest part by far was getting the initial tear started since the edges of the deck were so sharp. After that, I just gave the deck two good twists and it came apart like it was held together by velcro Today I've got a blister on one finger and a raw thumb pad, but once those feel better then I've got 3 more packs to tear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 As someone who is working on the same task I know how hard it is, so much congratulations It also reinforces that Tommy is a freaking animal!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bport Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 What technique did you use to get the tear started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I've been motivated about tearing for the last 24hours, so bought a few deck of cards. After about 3 minutes, I tore my first deck too! For those that can rip it in one quick movement (like Tommy's video): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Thanks all. Bport, I started with both hands on top of the deck and once I got the initial tear started I used the reverse grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverick Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 It can depend on the deck of cards too. I am a college kid so all my cards are bought from the dollar store, 50 cents a deck. These cards are much easier than a higher quality card. The average person cant even put a dent in an easy deck so I dont feel guilty about using the cheap stuff. I can tear the bicycles and pinnacles and Hoyles, it just takes me a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
