Double Corner Tear



After I tore a full deck of cards the first time I attempted it, I have constantly looked for ways to make this feat more difficult. To add new goals, new challenges to the things I have already succeeded with. With the cards for example, I have quartered horizontally, notched, eighths, double vertically torn, and of course the double corner tear. I have wrapped them in duct tape, torn in the box, duct taped in the box, worn oven mitts, behind the back, hand cuffed, etc.,etc.,etc.

I am not mentioning these things to be boastful, what I'm getting at here is don't be satisfied and grow stagnant, every time you reach a goal add to it and go after the next one with commitment and passion. Over time you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish! Enjoy your journey.

Hey Chris. I bought a bunch of decks of cards from a casino. Am I trying to look for an excuse, or or these plastic coated casino card harder than some others. The onlt reason I bought them is I did about 3/4 of a deck real easy of some we had around here. So I bought 72 decks on ebay. Now, I can't even do 1/2 a deck.Am I just being a wuss ?

Cards vary from brand to brand and also within the same brand. Some are tougher than others.
