Most playing cards thrown around a human target in one minute

The most playing cards thrown around a human target in one minute is 89, and was achieved by Aditya Kodmur (India), in Solapur, Maharashtra, India, on 22 September 2024.

Aditya decided to attempt this record as 'card throwing' is what he lives as it comes naturally for him. He previously held the record for 66 cards back in 2023. Being that this is not his first time achieving this record title and he claims he’ll surpass this one again in the future. Aditya mentions the most challenging part of this attempt was preparing the venue, gathering witnesses, timekeepers, surveyor & camera person.

This practice of "flying card" tricks are usually done as part of a stage act or performance, believed to have originated in the West, specifically among stage magicians during the 1800s.
