DESCRIPTION

About Rick Jay:

Ricky Jay, the author of the critically acclaimed Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women, a nationally known sleight-of-hand expert, movie actor and magician extraordinaire, presents a stylish parody of self-defense books that demonstrates with Cards as Weapon showing ordinary playing cards can be used as a means of protection.

Cards as Weapons is a funny look at the techniques of throwing cards. The author covers topics such as the Herrmann method, the Thurston method, the Jay method, card scaling, the history of card throwing, and throwing tricks to use in a demonstration. Included are photographs and illustrations.

Subtitled “A Treatise on the art of throwing, scaling, juggling, boomeranging and manipulating ordinary playing cards with particular emphasis on impressing one’s friends and providing a deadly yet inexpensive means of self-defence”. The book, a perennial Ebay special and Library sale ‘sleeper’, is now being seen as a self help book that ‘changes lives’ – several comments at Amazon, not entirely tongue in cheek, attest to this.

Apparently people take up card throwing in the way they used to take up tap dancing or juggling -to get out of a rut. Jay is something of a media star (MTV etc.,) and the book is much wanted collector’s item.
