Wrong Deck of Cards for Shuffling

Video Transcript

"You know the right shuffle starts with the right deck of cards. We have four decks here to use as an example, here is a deck that I call the tourist deck. We all seen decks like these; they are very nice, it has a nice photo on it, cards are kind of thick, you turn it over there is a photo here and a description of what you are seeing. You know it is a nice sort of novelty commemorative object of a place that someone visited. But it is not the greatest to play cards with as a matter of fact we played with this deck, see it's just hard to shuffle. You probably would get maybe an hours worth out of this. Look at that I shuffled two times and that card is already bending (I don't know if you can see that). Let's move on, very similar is this deck that I got in my stocking one year during the holidays. Now hey, I'm a graduate and very fond of it and I think that is why my relative gave me these. But again this is a hard deck to shuffle, I don't get much play out of these cards, they are hard to bend and if I do shuffle with them they are going to stay bent. Look at that just from that little bit of action this card is bending. You are not going to get a lot of poker games out of these."
