3 Impressive Ways of Shuffling a Pack of Cards

If you are a regular player of card games then you must have some fair skills of shuffling cards. Still, when compared to the way dealers shuffle it, it is quite evident to yearn for such skills. So without wasting any time let’s take a look at three impressive ways of shuffling a pack of cards and how to do them.

1.    The Strip Shuffle: Also known as running cuts, Strip shuffle is done by dividing the deck into sections and putting them upside down on the table. The sections are then placed over each other repeatedly. All you have to do is to place the deck on the table horizontally. Using both your hands, place your thumbs on the side towards you and fingers on the side away from you. Grab a section of the deck with your right thumb and fingers, and keeping your left hand in place drag the section from the deck. Now, put it back on the deck or in between the deck as per your wish. Repeat this step 4 to 5 times.

2.    The Hindu Shuffle: This is the palm version of the strip shuffle. Place the deck of cards in your left hand in a way that your thumb and fingers lightly hold the deck from either side. Using your right hand, place the thumb and fingers on the deck and drag a section out of it. Now place the section of cards in your right hand over those in the left hand and drag it out back. Meanwhile using your left thumb and fingers, hold a section of top cards in your right hand. This step should be done in a manner that the top cards in your right hand lay on top of the cards present in your left hand. Repeat this step until all the cards in your right hand are placed in your left hand. Once done, repeat the entire process twice.

3.    The BlackJack Shuffle: This method is the most impressive among all. This shuffle is done by the dealers and can be learned accurately after a lot of practice. Divide the deck into two almost equal sections and place them horizontally on the table in front of you in a way that the inside corners and the bottom corners are facing towards you. Tightly grip the cards with your fingers and using your thumb, lift the corners a bit higher. Draw the two sections closer near the corners and let the cards fall one over each other. When all the cards lay over each other, push the interconnected cards back together. Repeat the shuffle twice.
