“Cards as Weapons” by Ricky Jay (1977) (archive.org)

A used copy of this book sells for roughly $250.

And yes, it's written with tonguw-in-cheek.

Also be aware that there is some nudity in this book, so maybe not safe for all work environments.

Otherwise, absolutely great book, best source for card throwing that you will ever find.

Ah! How nice to see this delightful book by that late, lamented master card magician Ricky Jay. For more about him read this great essay: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1993/04/05/secrets-of-the...
