Pile Shuffling a Deck of Cards

Video Transcript

Hi, welcome back to Expert Village. I'm Pete Perata and we are talking about shuffling cards. Now another way you could shuffle cards is by using piles, or table shuffling. This is done by taking the cards and dealing down face down in to piles and then taking those piles up at the end. This is a randomization process. By table shuffling you are simply taking the cards and dealing them face down into varies piles on the table. For this we are using eight pile set up. Notice that I go through each of the eight piles and when I get to the end I start back with the pile that I started before. One of the nice things about table shuffling is that insures that no two cards will be next to each other as they were in the previous game or trick if you are playing/preforming magic. This is another process of randomization, and honestly doesn't require a lot of hand strength to do. You could then pick up piles next to each other and you will know that you won't have any two cards next to each other that you have before the shuffle.
