Speaking of the world record, it is the record for the fastest and longest throw of a standard playing card. The record is 216ft. 4in. thrown at 92mph by Rick Smith Jr. of Ohio (US). If you look him up or visit his website (RickSmithJr.com), you'll come to find he made an appearence on Time Warp (http://ricksmithjr.com/cleveland_magician.php?targetScript=media.rs.php). You can see, with the help of a high speed camera, Rick cutting through various articles of food in slow motion. One in particular, the carrot which is substantially denser and harder on the surface than human skin, is easily cut with one swift motion. Assuming his record is the fastest he can throw (92mph), if a card were to be thrown at 155mph (verticle speed) with the angular momentum and force on impact of the mimscule area acheived with Rick's technique, calling it a "flying buzzsaw" might not be so far off, given the right medium the card enters.
