A deck of playing cards is definitely not something you would expect to see in the arsenal of a Kung fu warrior.
But in the hands of this martial arts master it could be just as deadly as the double-edged sword or the flying dagger.

'Kung-fu master' opens cans by throwing playing cards at them


An astonishing video shows Zhou Chaofeng throwing cards so fast he can pierce a beer can

The footage, taken in Mianyang, Sichuan Province on August 11, shows Chaofeng launching the cards across great distances, and at rapid speed.
Amazingly he then throws them at bottles of beer, causing the liquid to spray out from the side.
The martial artist has practiced flying cards for 11 years alongside Kung fu.
Perhaps he should challenge magician Rick Smith Jr from the US, who holds the world record for the ****hest throw.

In December 2002 he launched one over 65 metres (216 feet) at a speed of just under 92mph, making it the fastest ever throw too.
The speed of Chaofeng's throws could lead some to suggest they could be used to kill or seriously injure someone.
But it would have to be a perfect eye-shot to cause any damage, as playing cards lack the mass to deeply cut into human tissue.

Anyone here ever read Ricky Jay's Cards as Weapons? It's out of print now, but it is - in my humble opinion - one of the best martial arts books ever written. Anyone who has read it surely feels me.

I once saw a street magician, after a performance, when no one else was looking, throw one of his cards with a horizontal motion, but in a bored manner, then he started packing his stuff. I kept watching that card. It kept on spinning but flying at a slightly upward angle in a straight trajectory. I don't recall any wind. It kept on going straight over a 3-story building and kept going upwards at that same angle, like when an airplane takes off. I kept watching it until it flew out of sight. I still can't figure out how he did that. Maybe it's easy to do with the right technique, IDK. I've never seen anyone else do that. He never looked back at the card, and I'm not sure why he did that.
