Resolution #280: Practice The Art Of Throwing Cards Into A Hat...

Date: 10-7-2014

Due Date: 10-7-2015

The Resolution: Back before there was any such thing as the internet, people had to resort to strange parlor tricks to kill time. It seemed that every romantic comedy or sit-com would have a scene of a guy throwing cards into a hat as a way to cope with the turning point in the story where a relationship seems to be unsalvageable.

I tried it a couple of times as a kid and remember it being fun but I never managed to work it in as a neurotic quirk.

This year I'm going to work on changing that by attempting to be able to throw all 52 playing cards into a hat that's at least six feet away from where I’m throwing.

Result #280: I Bought The Playing Cards… Inherited The Hat… But… Failed To Fling All 52 Cards Into Said Hat…

Update #1: The Conclusion…

Date: 10-7-2015

As you can see from the photo above, I didn't end up practicing card flinging nearly enough. I didn't even own a deck of cards until the beginning of this week but now that I have everything needed I'm going to keep at it until I can go pro and hit 52 out of 52 cards flung into a hat. Of course… I will let you know if I ever manage to pull it off.
