Hindu Shuffle Control with a Deck of Playing Cards

Video Transcript

" Hi! I’m Chris McKay with Expert Village.com. I am going to show you guys how to do a Hindu shuffle control. You can visit my website at www.mckaymagic.com. This is keeping a card on top of the deck, all right. So say I have got the six of hearts on top. I will keep the face up, so you can see what’s going on a little easier. I’m going to pull off a bottom chunk with my thumb and my middle finger again, only this time I am going to grip deep on the cards. Instead of holding it at the tips of my fingers I am going to grip more at the knuckle of my thumb and more at the knuckle of my middle finger, okay. This way when I come back over to supposedly pull off chunk of cards and let them fall on top of the 6, actually I am going to come in here and on the bottom I am going to grab just a chunk of cards including the six and simultaneously pull off the chunk off top like this. So now I am holding two chunks of cards with a gap between them in my right hand and I can keep pulling off cards off the top chunk until I feel where I get to that gap and when I feel that gap, I know to stop and the six is on top to a face down pulling off the bottom chunk, letting the top chunk fall onto my left hand and then I am pulling with my right hand, I am grabbing under the bottom chunk or some of those cards. With my top hand, I am grabbing more off the top and then pulling like that and let those fall and I keep grabbing chunks off the top until I get down to that break and you can feel it. It’s called a break. It’s called holding a break between cards. I can feel it and now I know to stop and so that card should be on top still, six of hearts. So in fast motion, it looks like this, that’s on top. "
