Hey everyone!
We have been crazy busy here at theory11 HQ to bring you some awesome new products. Recently we have seen the White Monarch deck, the Bicycle Heritage set, Insane by Andy Nyman, and Rapture by Eddie Boswell. Next Friday, we revive one of your favorite decks, the JAQK deck, this time in a bold red color. This year is going to be a good year for cards, and we have much more up our sleeves.
Tonight, we are inspired by a recent video posted in our media section by Calen Morelli, Andrei Jikh, Michael James, and Blake Vogt. Your challenge tonight is to catch on camera your best trick shot with playing cards.
What do we mean by “Trick Shot”? Simple. Throw a playing card so that something very unlikely happens (and get it on video). In the above video, a playing card is thrown across the room perfectly so that Andrei can snag it in his hat while spinning around and not really looking. Other examples could be cutting a carrot in half with a thrown card, throwing a card so that it slips through a tiny gap over a door, throwing a card so that it bounces off of a wall and lands in a glass. The specifics are really up to you. We want to see that one shot where something crazy happens. It might take you twenty tries to throw a card back into its tuck case from 20 feet away, but that one time you manage to do it could be the winner.
Check out some cool examples of ping pong ball trick shots for inspiration here . Limit of three entries per person, each in a different video. Videos must be created specifically for this contest (no old videos). You have until SUNDAY night at 11 PM EDT to submit your videos (uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo) here in this thread. The person tonight who shows us the most impressive, impossible, exciting trick shot will win a 6-pack of our upcoming Red JAQK playing cards, shipped on the house.
Good luck!
