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.
