"Okay everybody, one of the cool features of a stripper deck is that when a card is reversed and it's sticking out, you can shuffle the deck like this. As long as none of the cards get turned end for end, it's not going to upset anything. You could even have somebody else shuffle the cards like this. The card is just going to stay oriented the way it is and you'll always be able to find it. The way you can add this to a trick is if you had a card taken out, you can have it placed back in the deck and you could give it a shuffle like this. I can shuffle this forever and ever like this and it's never going to upset that card as long as none of the other cards get turned end for end. If that happens, you're going to have a little bit of a problem. You could shuffle like this and then you could give the deck a Hindu shuffle to strip the card out to the top, and that would get you the card right there. One more time. Let me show you that with the over hand shuffle. The over hand shuffle was taught in the shuffles and cuts section of the previous videos that we did on card magic. I can shuffle this all day long. It's never going to upset the fact that there's a reversed card right there in the deck. That's using the over hand shuffle with a stripper deck."
