"So let's demonstrate the randomness of leafing the cards together. Say you don't want to do the wash, I don't know it's a cramped space people make fun of you at your table. "You don't need to do that, fine". Let's take an organized deck and what we are going to do is we are going to leaf it and split it seven times and we are going to cut it and we'll demonstrate the randomness of the shuffle. You see I've cut the deck exactly in half and I'm going to leaf and split, leaf, split (that was two) three, four, five, six and to get a truly random shuffle, you're good if you shuffle seven times, there is seven. We're going to cut the deck and see what comes out. Diamond, club, diamond, heart we do have all three jacks there, there's a club, club, club and club. They are all out of order there is a heart, heart, heart and a spade and they are all out of order no sequences here, I'd say these twelve cards represent if you leaf your cards seven times you are going to get a random shuffle."
