Series Summary

Card shuffling is a method of randomizing a deck of playing cards. This is done to ensure that the card order is more difficult to predict, adding an element of chance to the game. There are several different methods of shuffling cards for various skill levels, from a simple wash to complex riffles which often look like magic tricks. Most professional card dealers can shuffle with extreme speed and artistry, however many casinos now employ shuffling machines which are controlled by computer generated algorithms to prevent any chance of biased shuffling or dealer-gambler collaboration.

In this series of free video clips you’ll learn several ways to shuffle a deck of cards. Expert Peter Perata demonstrates the basic riffle, side riffle, the Hindu shuffle, overhand shuffle, weave shuffle, various ways to cut the cards and more. He also offers tips on developing hand strength that will help you shuffle like a professional casino dealer.
