Shuffling cards is the ultimate card player’s bling. In fact, in cards, it’s the equivalent of walking out to a tee box with a great bag of clubs, or stepping up to a podium wearing a great suit; because right then, right at that moment before you take a swing or utter a single word, there is a possibility that you might actually know what you’re doing.

Right then, the crowd assumes that you do.

Then you shank the ball in the woods and it’s all over. But before then, while you’re still sizing the ball up, while you’re still clearing your throat in front of an auditorium, they just don’t know.

That’s what shuffling is. It’s the right to be at the party. It’s the dues you pay to play cards.

There are actually a few types of shuffles, which include:

The Overhand Shuffle – This is the simple split deck and place back in, shuffle. Nothing fancy and gets the job done.

The Weave Shuffle – This is the same as the overhand, only you remove and place in from the top of the deck as apposed to the side.

The Hindu Shuffle – This is where you separate the deck, place, long way, end to end, bend the cards and let them weave into one deck.

And the shuffle shuttle – This is the fancy shuffle, the one you see in all the movies, and with blackjack dealers and anyone trying to show off.

This is THE shuffle.

So for here, we’ll focus on the shuffle shuttle.

Now, shuffling cards is one of those skills that needs a solid visual reference, so here it is. After searching the internet, one of the clearest shuffle shuttle videos is found on the expert village website. This explains it well. It takes its time and you can watch it over and over again.

Good luck.
