Personally, I don't need reminders. His bearded face and body of personified slight-of-hand, are all the reminder I need.

It would suck if it was misaimed.

I was thinking the exact same thing, ant. If the card can do that to a pencil, imagine the papercut you'd get if it hit your hand.

Why is it assumed that this in not setup? He is a magician after all.

Well, he is on record as being one of the best card throwers in the world, so I'm just assuming it's real.

He was on Mythbusters helping them test the myth that you could kill someone with a thrown playing card and he can hit a small target from several feet away and hard (but not hard enough to seriously penetrate a person's skin if you're wondering).

That's nothing. The other night, some guy cracked my Aces with 72 offsuit.

Does this mean Gambit will be in the upcoming Wolverine or Magneto movies!?

Man. Even though he's about 40 years too old and 100 pounds too heavy, I still think Ricky Jay would be awesome as Gambit. But then again Ricky Jay could read the phone book to me for two hours and I'd find it enchanting. The man has one of those awesome voices that you can listen to for hours.
