    Use a vacuum cleaner with a detached hose. While applying suction from the screen side, slide the nozzle up while dragging the card with it.

    In my country, a solicitor is a lawyer, so looking at the business card confused the fuck out of me for a moment!

    Can you pry the screen out from that corner, remove the card, then just pry it back (maybe some sealant, I have zero DIY skills)?

      Visiting the US years ago I got a chuckle out of “no solicitors” signs

    If NirodhaAvidya’s vacuum approach doesn’t work out for you and you can’t find an easy way to get the screen door apart, a couple sewing needles (or something similar) might do the trick. Stab the card toward a corner, rotate it so the far corner is higher up, stab with another needle, remove the first one and repeat to walk it up toward an opening where you can grab it. Might have to pick a new spot to poke it every few iterations if you’re not getting enough friction to make the card move.

    Go to a local business, steal the bowl of business cards for a free dinner raffle, and start an immortalized game of connect 4 in your door.

    So many suggestions here are so needlessly complicated. Just put some tape on the end of a thin stick 🤦

      Ah yes, find a mm thick stick and put some tape on it

    I agree with calling the guy to get it out, but a close second would be to put thin piece double-sided tape around the tip of a bamboo skewer feed it down in press the card to it and pull it out. if one skewer isn’t enough, tape a second one to the first one

    This happened to me with my car window. I had to take the door panel off to get it out

    Get a full sized piece of paper that you can slide in from the top, that shout teach the card but can still be pulled out from the top. Use tape to stick the card to the paper. Then pull it out.
