How To Shuffle Cards Profesionally

[@Mr_Sarcasum]

Not gonna lie, him cutting perfectly three times in a row was impressive.

[@travosk8668]

Yeah man guy wasnt joking, man had google maps loaded on that finger

[@overkillblackjack2910]

He was impressive, but it wasnt the same King each time.

[@someoneelse6934]

@@overkillblackjack2910- It didn't need to be as he explained in the video. JQK -- KQJ is the middle of the pack +/- 5 cards with less than 10% deviation over the total deck. One king vs the other negligible at best. He was off by one card multiple times in a row. Impressive.

[@zacharyholland-dunn8474]

I actually cut my deck 3 times in a row perfectly lol. 8 of hearts and 8 of spades were in the center of my deck at the time. I hit it perfectly 3 times in a row while I was following along. I’ve NEVER done that before, and now it’s more like a 1/5 chance, but I actually pulled it off just from the simple tip he gave. Second time I was like “cool! 2 back to back perfect cuts!” I did it a third time and was like “😳 does this mean I’m a professional now??”

[@Zerpersande]

Practice. Watch some clips by Daniel Roy, a magician with excellent card control skills. It should give you an idea of WHY these techniques are used. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if Daniel has some tricks to get around this pattern to some extent. For instance, this is i finitely more amazing than simply cutting to the middle each time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnbPpox9h5dsZ68

Because "how to shuffle cards" isn't exactly the hottest topic in town, the thing that everyone is talking about. That's why the view count is low.

[@EightiesHades]

Had trouble with the riffle at first since I’m used to doing it on the short side and bending the cards pretty far. But that one little comment about the cards going through your thumbs and not the other way around really helped. On top of that, I was able to perfectly cut the deck multiple times in a row the way you showed. Easily the best tutorial I’ve seen.

[@genZer420]

this is equally satisfying and impressive,

[@MartinTwageos]

This video has really helped me a lot, thank you! I have been having some issues with my riffling recently, usually when i riffle, my card stacks will colide as they fall or the stacks will come out in chunks rather one by one. Ever since watching this video my riffle has become far more consistent. Again, thank you! Love from Scotland. 😊

This is the best tutorial on KZbin of this. One bit of advice though is that this is a LOT harder on a hard surface. I was practising on my desk for ages before I realised this.

[@pinkboy1181]

You are amazing 🤩 thankyou

[@overkillblackjack2910]

Thanks for the video!! He mentioned pushing down on the cards into the felt so the padding of your fingers and not the tips of the fingers can grasp the cards. Given that, how important is it to have a pro table (felt plus padding) versus shuffling on a hard surface, like a dining room table or whatnot?

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

All Casino tables have a slight padding in order for the Dealer to shuffle and pick up chips. The padding makes life easier on the finger tips. To practice at home the ironing board is the best surface, it's adjustable and has the cover on top. A wooden table or work surface is difficult because you can't control or pick up the the bottom of the deck. Putting a towel down, or mouse pad helps with this issue.

[@overkillblackjack2910]

@@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool thank you. How much would you charge to teach me how to shuffle a 6-deck blackjack shoe the way Las Vegas casinos do nowadays?

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

@@overkillblackjack2910 I will make one and post it.

[@overkillblackjack2910]

@@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool Oh, wow, great, thanks! My biggest concern is the interleaving of cards (as well as propper plugging and box cutting). I have read some numbers on how many cards professional dealers interleave. Frankly, the numbers seemed unrealistic. That is, in my experience, it seems real casino dealers dont put a lot of effort into that. (And maybe you're familiar with the study showing it takes at least 6 shuffles or whatnot to randomize a SINGLE deck, let alone 6 decks.). So, when I learn how to professionally shuffle (and then deal myself shoes to get an idea of how my blackjack strategies might do in a real casino environment), I don't want to 'overshuffle.' (I also dont want to undershuffle.). But I guess it might be better to overshuffle if anything. That is, if my strategies work when I overshuffle the cards, then the strategies may work a tad better when casino dealers that I play against for real money shuffle a bit less thoroughly.

[@sidneyahn7591]

Great instructions! I wish to add one thing. When picking up the deck with the one card, I was taught to have the cards face the players and not towards the dealer. But, it's for Poker dealers not blackjack dealer. Reason being, poker dealers shouldn't see the bottom card so they can not cheat. Blackjack dealers are ok because you don't want the players to cheat.

[@MartinTwageos]

Hello there! At the moment I've been practicing my shuffling trying to make my home games a little more professional and consistent. I just have a little query about the riffle. When doing the lace, do you have any tips for how to make sure your fingers stay maintained upright? When i find myself riffling, my fingers can sometimes go flat and I lose control of the stacks. I can find it quite uncomfortable keeping my fingers up. If you took the time to read this thanks alot 😅. I know it was a lot to read... thanks again!

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

@@MartinTwageos Good Morning, Couple of questions for you, are you sitting or standing? Is there a dealer rack in front of the area your shuffling in?

[@MartinTwageos]

@@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool Morning! When I shuffle during my home games, I will use my home table but have a mouse pad infront of me for easier lift of the thumbs with no home rack infront. And when I'm riffling I will be sitting. Thanks!

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

@@MartinTwageos Move your hands further away from you. Everyone wants to shuffle with the cards closer to them, which actually makes it harder, this will make it easier to keep the fingertips on the table. I tell all my students "no power" while shuffling, but everyone uses to much. Don't lift the hands only the thumb. The further the tip of your index finger from your thumb, the easier it is, the closer you are, the harder it gets. Let me know if this helps. Thank you

[@MartinTwageos]

@@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool Oh my lord thank you! This has helped a lot with my lace. Suprising how such little a thing can mess up the riffle so much.

Awesome. I can do it just dont have the speed

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

[@DJ-Art-Morris]

So the procedure you just went through is exactly the same for double deck?

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

All Casinos have a different shuffle. For my Dealers, they break the Double deck in half, move them so the back corners are level with the rack. Break in half again, going straight out, and in front of the original two piles. Shuffle top left and bottom right together. (Shuffle shuffle strip shuffle) place in the middle and repeat with the two remaining piles. Place the second set on top of the first. Break this in half, one deck in each hand, and shuffle together. One time only. Offer the cut.

[@DJ-Art-Morris]

@@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool this was extremely helpful. Thank you very much goodsir 🙌🏼

[@brandonvise8879]

For whatever reason I can not do the corner shuffle. It literally hurts my hands to hold it like he is doing in the video.

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

You are using muscles that you don't normally use, the key is no power. You need enough to stop the cards moving, but don't squeeze them. Leaning the hands into your thumbs, takes the pressure of the pinkies, and allows your thumb to roll under the cards.

[@sylthaya7571]

So if im shuffling double deck, does the acceptable cut range also double? So instead of justing beinf +- the 3 royals, does that double to +- 6 cards on either side? Kqj10,9,8? Turning 21 in a couple weeks and im realizing my double deck shuffling isnt good enough, or atleast i dont feel like it is so it probably isnt

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

Breaking Double deck in half is still the Royals. 🙂 I would off set one deck towards your dominant hand, put your index finger on top of the deck and reach down with the middle finger and thumb for half. Off setting the deck let's you know exactly where 1/2 is. The rest is muscle memory.

[@rodimusprimes]

I keep practicing but for the life of me keep having one consistent issue: there's always two or three cards stuck together at the bottom of the deck bc they're not all aligned against my thumb, and I'm not sure how to better tidy my deck to make sure they don't slip out of alignment. Any tips?

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

I did another video that deals with that specifically. It's common for the bottom of the cards to drop.

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

Is your Shuffle chunky. In that video it explains why 🙂

[@RDhomemusic]

My hands are a bit small so I can't do the corner riffle 2 decks I have to do 1 deck at a time.

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

When shuffling two decks together, instead of lifting the cards and then releasing them, you shuffle the cards as you lift, it's the reverse of a single deck shuffle.

[@daleottembrajt1961]

Does it help to do this using the same material from the video?

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

Any deck of cards will suffice . Using an ironing board for everything but the wash is the best surface for Practicing at home.

[@briggs5569]

what's a decent deck to buy for shuffles. I see all this pvc or plastic coated card stuff. would you recommend just classic paper cards?

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

If its just for occasional use, bicycles are ok. For practicing the shuffle the firmer cards are better, as they are more durable. The narrower cards used in Poker are bridge cards. The bigger size (BJ) are Poker cards. These are expensive, but they are washable.

[@JennaW22]

I went to this dealers school in Vegas called Crescent School of Gaming and Bartending last year when I lived in Downtown LV for 2 years and was a blackjack dealer for Circa/Golden Gate (If you haven’t been to Vegas, I recommend going to downtown cause everyone is always at the strip and prices at the tables in downtown are cheaper and more fun, in my opinion. Anyways The instructors at the gaming school were hardly ever there to teach us (even though they said they are open and you can come in anytime from 10am-8pm everyday and can come in any day you want as often as you want and I went like 5-6 days a week to learn and was always told the teachers didn’t come in so classes are canceled. When they were there, they didn’t explain it near as well as he does. I had to learn blackjack mostly on my own (with help from my grandparents cause they go to Vegas like 3-4x a year) and the shuffling was the hardest thing for my to learn cause I got so use to shuffling the regular way not casino style. This video really helped me. Moved out here to Cali and live in Menifee. I saw this school and really want to go to it so I can get back into the casino life of dealing. Sorry for rambling but I just wanted to say thanks for making videos for those of us who either need a refresher or just want to learn for fun.

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

My pleasure. I do open enrollment and open class, I'm in the school open to close. All the students have to test, and pass before moving on to the next level or the next game.

[@apieceoftoast768]

I assume spreading the cards like at the start doesn't work on a smooth table.

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

You are correct, put a tablecloth on, you might have to use two layers.

[@tsti1es]

Q. Another vid I saw had the dealer picking up the wash with cards facing players. Is that incorrect?

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

In Poker, Dealers pick up the cards facing the Players. Table Games = Wash Poker = Scramble

[@steveday2868]

When blending the two half decks together which hand drops the card that will be the bottom card? Is it the one that would always make a new bottom card. Seems to be a unfair advantage for the dealer to know what the bottom card is. Is there a process so he won't know?

[@JackBlackCasinoDealerSchool]

It doesn't matter which hand starts 1st. The Dealer doesn't know what the bottom card is. That is why you don't lift them to high while shuffling and banging them face up to tidy is prohibited.

[@Bigheadedwon]

Note to anyone watching who's gonna practice. Use a cheap deck. I just tried with a brand new Theory 11 Star Wars deck and bent a card almost to the point of it being marked trying to do the shuffle. He makes it look so basic, when I tried cards flew off the table and now I have a semi crooked 9 of clubs 😶
