Yes, we have embraced a new sport! It’s all the rage in homeschooling families across the country, using ordinary materials every household has: a simple deck of playing cards.

Here’s how to recreate the awesomeness of card throwing, right in your own home!

Step #1: Acquire a handful of playing cards – preferably a full deck – and ready them in your hands.

Step #2: Pose, and look cool. This is a tough sport, not one to be taken lightly, so put on your serious “I’m-going-to-do-something-incredible-so-watch-out!” face, and ready yourself for action!

Example #1 of how to achieve this daring and dangerous look:

Example #2, as demonstrated by Mr. Nate W., also a master in card throwing.

Step #3: Ready your camera and film crew, and prepare to get some epic shots of your awesomeness: the best is yet to come!

Step #3: You are now ready to begin. It’s time to throw cards! Practice your technique until you can aim and hit on target. The ultimate goal? To snuff out a candle using your killer card skills. Impossible? Think again. The Master Card Throwers have already achieved this and more!

Wow. How do they pull off these stunts with such finesse?

You’ve heard from the experts. You’ve read the instructions. Now go throw some cards!
