You Will Need
- A deck of cards
- And a table
Step 1: Split the deck in half
Learn how to do the classic shuffle, which is called the riffle shuffle. Split the deck into approximate halves and put them face down horizontally on a table.
Step 2: Position your hands
Grab the deck so that your thumbs are on the edges facing each other, each index finger is bent at the knuckle in the center of a stack, and the three remaining fingers on each hand wrap around the far edges.
Step 3: Position the decks
Position the stacks at a slight angle, so that the top edges form a “V.”
Step 4: Start riffling
Holding the edges that form the bottom of the “V” against each other, use your thumbs to start releasing a card or two at a time, alternating sides so that the ends of the cards become entwined.
Step 5: Push the cards together
When the last card has fallen into the now-shuffled pile, use your fingers to push the two halves together, forming one deck.
Step 6: Repeat several times
Repeat several times.
Step 7: Practice
Practice until you can shuffle in one quick, fluid motion.
In 2007, Canadian David Farrow won a place in the Guinness Book of World Records when he memorized the exact order of 59 decks of shuffled cards!
