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. Did you know 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!
