I bought a few batches when my fascination with tearing cards began and it was a heck of a lot cheaper than running to the store and buying a three dollar deck of bikes every time I wanted a challenging tear You can get really good deals on used cards on Amazon – the breakdown is usually around fifty cents a deck or less and they are Casino quality cards.

I must say it's fantastic and a brilliant resource for card tearing and also endless homemade grip devices (for next to nothing). It got me from about 1 min per deck to 14 secs in a week on technique alone. I also get the 'why so much strength apparatus?', why not if you've put the bread on the table etc and it's your hobby. Many people spend 3 times that amount per year on beer alone. Regards Rob Josh,

I also get the ‘why so much strength apparatus?’, why not if you’ve put the bread on the table etc and it’s your hobby. Many people spend 3 times that amount per year on beer alone.

That's a great tip. Casino cards rank pretty high in the difficulty hierarchy. also, dollar stores sell two-packs for $1. They're cheap cards and much easier to tear than something like Bicycles, but not bad for practicing. You can always add cards to a cheap deck to make it more challenging. Thanks Erik.

Next time you're in Wendover or Elko pick up a bunch and rip 'em for less.
