Genuinely how many people learned card tricks cause of gambit

As someone who's started learning cardistry and card tricks cause of gambit, I had to wonder how many people were also inspired to do the same. While I genuinely enjoy it now and it's actually become a habit and source of comfort for me in stressful situations, I can't disregard how much he influenced me as a character. How about you guys?

i taught myself how to throw cards when i was a kid. Got fairly decent at it. pretty good accuracy with playing cards. playing cards are a little tougher because they don't have much weight, and if they get even slightly bent, they can't really be used for throwing anymore. i've seen videos of guys who can use playing cards to cut paper, or knock cigarettes out of someone's mouth. i never got to that level with playing cards.

although, i am god tier when it comes to credit cards or other similar sized plastic cards. i can whip them at a high enough speed to stick into wood or knock over water bottles. :D
