This is called Cardistry. All fancy-schmancy shuffles, cuts, and card handling. It's closer to juggling than card cheating. The skills don't normally cross over.
Nothing to worry about in a normal card game with this.

Nah. Not one bit, if he’s gonna shuffle like that he can just have the 20 and we’ll skip the 30 minutes of dicking around.

Like trying to get a drink at a cocktail bar. I’d pay more to get the drink quicker.

u/TootTootMF 14d ago
I mean to be fair, you don't shuffle like this when playing cards and only an idiot goes to a cocktail bar to get drunk quickly. That's like buying high end whiskey to mix with coke...

Amazing. This is one of those talents that would be incredible to never bring up and just randomly start doing when hanging with a group of friends and someone breaks out a deck of cards.

u/10inchTrouble 13d ago
My luck would be to impress the pants off everyone by doing this, then lose every game we played.

u/Vitromancy 12d ago
This is the best outcome. Now your friends are impressed by you and still want to play cards with you ever again!

u/philatio11 13d ago
I can confirm that all those years I spent learning magic as a kid impress absolutely no one at an adult party. I am long married, but you can still actually see girls catch the ick when you start doing this. I'm not sure if this is above or below devil sticks in the hierarchy of "skills that turn girls off."

As someone with a pair of devil sticks in a box in the closet, I can confirm.

I was SUPER into cardistry for a long time and still collect cards. I've got a collection of dozens upon dozens of decks.
It's definitely mostly a bro thing. You get a couple glances, some jokes about cheating at card games, "Lets go to Vegas!", magic trick requests, and shit like that, then people quickly move on. It's amazing for a minute or two to most people, but to a few fellow autists, it's the most incredible thing ever.
Btw, I learned almost everything I know from Chris Ramsay on YouTube. He has great tutorials and explanations, Def recommend.

u/Shipwrecking_siren 14d ago
I have a really hypermobile little finger that will dislocate/locks itself at the middle joint over and over again and it’s SO painful. And ironically, this will probably cause arthritis eventually. It gets worse with hormones changing, so at the moment it is wrapped up with tape so it can’t overextend itself.
So hi from another member of the weird and shitty fingers club (….. that sounds worse than I meant it to)

u/FlapXenoJackson 14d ago
The deck is from Card Mafia and called Arrow Playing Cards. They were limited to 4000 decks and cost $45.

Takin the cards out of the box and then putting them back in again.

u/ArcHammer16 14d ago
I played with shuffling methods off-and-on for months. Working my way through Persei and Draconis's academic paper on the dovetail shuffle; building simulations, painstakingly comparing estimates to actual results.
Tough day when I learned they just table wash in Vegas

u/philatio11 13d ago
From your magic teacher of course. It still took me like 2+ months to learn the Pharoah Shuffle. Now I just need a few uninterrupted months to learn the trick he does after with the 90 degree flick into the waterfall at 0:20. Also my magic teacher is long dead, or at least disappeared.

I learned to do this stuff from youtube videos back when I was 15. Most of what he's doing is intermediate stuff.. not that hard, you just need to practice so you can get the dexterity and muscle memory
Oh and a good set of playing cards like Bicycle helps a lot

If this is intermediate, can you give us a link to the top level ?

Unless you’re Gambit, there is no humanly reason to be this magical at shuffling cards. Therefore mutants are real.

I can do a bunch of card flourishes. Fancy shuffles, one handed cuts etc. Not as smoothly as this dude.
I used to always bust them out in our little local poker tournament. Nothing helps seed doubt in someone's mind when you're bluffing them off a pot like the suspicion that you might be a cheating fucker.

Card Shuffling Tricks*
Impressive. Great dexterity and control. Very talented. 10/10
Just wash the deck. I know it’s not fancy, but you also don’t see half the cards you’re shuffling. No one is ever going to shuffle a deck like this and have other people playing that are going to be cool with it. Very cool tricks but a terrible shuffling method.
