Shuffling Basics for a Deck of Cards

Video Transcript

Hi I'm Pete and welcome to Expert Village today we are going to be learning a little bit about shuffling. We are going to be talking about why people shuffle cards, different shuffles that they use and how you could shuffle your very own deck. We will be learning a variety of different shuffles, from the Hindu shuffle, to the corner shuffle, I would even teach you a couple of cuts at the very end. So grab your pack, load up and let's shuffle. Now when you get a deck of cards or when you buy a deck of cards - and by the way if you are out there buying cards I do recommend Bicycle cards - these are really standard cards you'll find them at any super market or gas station store but, even if you don't get Bicycle there is variety of different packs of cards out there that you could buy. Let's talk a little bit about randomization. You want to make sure that when you shuffle cards that you have your random selection of cards at the end of your shuffle. This way people if you are gambling for instance, people aren't going to get the same kind of hands time after time after time. This increases the odds of gambling. When you are doing magic tricks for instance you also want to make sure you have random shuffles for varies reasons. A good solid true shuffle will properly would randomize the cards.
