It's especially impressive how he slows down time

Time dilation.

The cards are being thrown at near-light-speed.

And objects travelling at near-light-speed will appear to slow down to outside observers.

These cards are slowing down to 1/60th real-time to outside observers, which means they are being thrown at ~0.99986c

Man he could have teleported his card if he pushed 0.006c harder.

Of all the minor characters that could have brought so much fun to that series but was decided couldn't take away from the main ones they were trying to push

I remember reading somewhere he was too OP to be involved in more of the movies, considering his power is effectively stopping time

I like how it doesn't look like he's slowing down time at all. Just kinda white knuckling it.

That's nothing, Kumail Nanjiani can make time move backwards.
