I usually use the “Faro” shuffle, very easy and good shuffle when you get the hang of it. Also very easy to cascade finish.

Tsk tsk looks good in the long run ruins a deck of cards. But hey use whatever technique your comfortable with!. I know this sounds strange but if you’re struggling with shuffling get yourself the cheapest crappiest cards you can get your hands and when your watching tv practice shuffling may get a few on the ground which doesn’t matter because the cards you’re using are crap and a few strange looks from friends and family but you will nail it.

As a kid, I always preferred the “smear them around the table then put them back together” strategy.

What you need a long car ride. Then you can practice to your heart’s content.

I had a week of boredom in college one month and I had a deck of brand new cards laying on my desk, this was the week I learned how to shuffle.

I grew up playing various card games with my family, and so I learned to shuffle early on. But I could never get the cascade right (my brothers, parents, and grandparents all do it perfectly). I’ve actually been working on it lately, and I think this will help. Thanks!

haha. That’s cool. I have always wanted to know how to do that, especially the cascade bit. Thanks.

@Jaymoon, keep practicing! Nothing worth learning is learned perfectly on the first day. I practiced whistling with my fingers for months and months until I perfected it. Now I whistle really loudly and consistently! Keep trying. You’ll get it.
