The Drunken Shuffle for Playing Card Shuffling

Video Transcript

"I'm Joe Marshall and today we are going to discuss shuffles and cuts. Okay this is a shuffle we kind of just made up it is, you just want to use when you are goofing around. Make people think you are drunk, maybe whatever it is a drunken shuffle. The camera guy wanted me to show it to you it is the same thing as this. This type of riffle shuffle with a dovetail it would just do it completely up side down and what that looks like, is that. So to do it you are going to hold it completely opposite the way you normally would and you dish off you hold your hands down at the bottom, you pivot them like so and instead of shuffling this way, you are just going to shuffle up and it is actually harder to do then it looks. You have to make sure your middle finger and ring finger on each hand is holding the deck properly cause if you do this and they are not they are going to fly opposite directions and that is not what you want unless you want to give that impression. But, you have to pick up the card so. You hold it like so with enough pressure on the fingers so you could deliver the cards to each other and then you are going to dovetail it and hold it upside down and pull your hands apart just like you normally would and it would release. So in normal motion the reverse drunken shuffle looks like that."
