How to Do the Hindu Shuffle

Video Transcript

" Hi! I’m Chris McKay with Expert Village.com. I am going to show you guys how to do a Hindu shuffle today. Usually Hindu shuffle is dripping the cards at your fingertips again, your fingertips rather than in your hand, so at your fingertips, okay and then with the right hand between my middle finger and my thumb, I grab off a chunk of cards at the bottom. You want to try and grab a pretty big chunk, more than half. I am pulling off that packet off the top in my left hand letting it drop into my hand fingers, so it’s not in my fingertips anymore, it’s in my hand. Then I reach over with these fingers, since it is in my hand my fingers are free and I can grab off another chunk off the top here. I keep doing that very rapidly. So with these fingertips I am grabbing little chunks of cards off the top with a packet in my right hand. A lot of people think it looks like this that you are pulling out the middle chunk, putting them on top and then pulling out another middle chunk. You’re not, you are keeping the same chunk in your hand the whole time, and never putting this down and because of that nature, actually the bottom card is always staying the same. You are just pulling cards off the top and that bottom card always stays the same until the end when I put it down, then that bottom card is actually shuffled in. So that’s why you don’t want to just pull the chunk of cards out of the middle because you are not actually shuffling the cards because the bottom cards are always staying the same. So you want to keep pulling off packets until you drop it on top and those cards are shuffled. "
