How to Shuffle Cards - One Handed Shuffle

How to Shuffle Cards - One Handed Shuffle

It is time for a bit more unique technique to shuffle cards. The one handed shuffle is actually the riffle shuffle only by utilizing 1 hand, sounds pretentious? Let's find out:

Take the deck within your hand and keep it with the regular grasp: Index plus pinky on the shorter edges, middle fingers around the longer ends, after doing that take the index finger and put it inside the deck, separating the deck into two more or less even packs.

Here you slip the top pack on the index finger and create Two parallel packets aided by the index finger between them. Work with the finger nail to slide the top packet upwards, don't do it using the tender fingertip, it could result in one or even more cards to slip in addition to it, and produce a tangle, trust me with this.


Here it might be a bit of challenging, shift the pinky towards the longer side of the packet. You have to connect the two packs together, how you can make that happen? Okay, this would require a lot of exercises, however the secret is always keep the packs parallel and fixed, soon after this begin intertwining the initial 2 bottom or top cards. Considering that your packets straight and firm up properly, the cards are going to interlace on their own like a zipper. Don't try and mush the packets with each other, it doesn't do the trick that way.

Put the close together and weave

Step 2 will be to bend the 2 packets against each other, and create kind of a bridge (similar to the riffle shuffle) and then turn your hand face down. After you have done that, take away the index finger, the strain of your bent preserves the cards with each other.

Keep them tense and in formation

Remove the index finger and let them drop

Now the final step will be to let go stress a little bit and expand the area in between and put on a little bit force with the thumb plus middle finger on the ends. The packets the cards will naturally drop on your center tips of the fingers, with a waterfall sleek action. Good Job!

That's it; you learned the one handed shuffle as well, congrats!

Easy Card Tricks - Upside Down Trick

Easy Card Tricks - Upside Down Trick

Today we are going to learn a brand new, amazing and very easy card trick. I name it the upside down trick, because I don't know any kind of official label for it. So let's get started:

First you need to prepare the deck, remove all of the cards which are identical from both sides, and leave the ones that you may make out if they happen to be "Up" or "Down", what does it mean? Well, the deck has many cards which are completely identical, face up or down, from either side you look at them. Some of them aren't, for example, glance at the ace of spades, the spade is pointing up or downward, some cards, such as the 7's have the majority of shapes aimed upwards or downwards. Pick the cards you can discern between them, there should be 22 of these.

At this point the deck (1 / 2 of it anyhow) is prepared. The secret as you might suspected is to place all the distinguishable cards with the identical direction.

For the execution itself: Allow the spectator choose one card, or 2, or 3. Now it's the most important move - when you take back his card\s reverse them to point the contrary direction of the rest of the deck. Shuffle the deck preferably using the overhand shuffle. Well, how you can finish the trick is up to you truly, as you already can easily distinguish what cards the spectator selected, those in your deck which are inverted :)

TIPS

    You may let your spectator shuffle the cards after you have gotten them from him and reversed them, to improve the trick, yet be ware he will not change several cards himself, or maybe make some unusual shuffle.

    Be cautious whilst reversing the cards to avoid suspicion. Don't look at your hands, look at your spectator and engage in some conversation while doing the invert. You may invent your personal misdirection.
