How to Shuffle a Deck Of Cards.
Impress your poker buddies by learning how to shuffle and deal like you do it for a living.
You will need A deck of cards and a table.
Step 1.
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.
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 stacks at a slight angle, so that the top edges form a "V." Step 4.
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.
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.
Step 7.
Practice until you can shuffle in one quick, fluid motion.
