Card Tearing
Tearing a deck of cards in half requires substantial hand and thumb strength, to hold very tightly onto the deck whilst tearing simultaneously.
My tip for attempting this feat would be to practice tearing paper initially. For example take 10-20 sheets of A4 and tear them, then put the 2 halves together and form a straight edge with the 2 parts then tear again and so on till you can't get through it. This is superb for warming up the hands and also a good challenge for the grip. Also, pinch gripping weight plates is a good thumb strengthener also.
Be careful to listen to your body and not wreck your thumbs as they take a long time to heal
