If anything, it would be a Follow-Up on touching the object. Being a Follow-Up on a 'natural weapon', which includes hitting things, is 0%, so that leaves it back where it was. But that would be building it as an attack against the object with the damage to surrounding objects just being collateral damage from Explosive, which seems weird, although maybe the rolls to throw the object at something would be unaffected by what kind of weird mechanics the 'charging' uses. Possibly, this doesn't really add much compared to just building it straightforwardly as a Crushing Attack, though, although it does make it use throwing skills.
It definitely should be built as an Innate Attack, because his signature move (throwing a playing card) is not itself an attack. He just uses cards because they are small, cheap, and look cool. It's his kinetic energy that propels them. He barely throws them at all.
