By this, what I mean is catching cards, coins, and other objects mid air.

I've got all the flicks and things for the cards getting into the air sorted, I just still can't do the whole 'catching' thing.
 
Sports, video games, etc. Anything can make hand eye coordination better. Don't put yourself in a box. Just think

It's exhausting but practice is key. Practice over a surface, like a bed or a futon. This helps save your back, every time you miss.

Thanks for the advice.
Time to get some 80s montage music started up to practice to.

Thanks. I better get started on my backlog of summer sale steam games!
 
Another idea - learn to juggle, particularly with a partner. When you've got the basic skills down, literally just throw things at each other and try to catch them.
