DID YOU KNOW

A perfect shuffle is called a ‘riffle.‘ There are two types: an ‘in shuffle‘ where a pack of cards is split exactly in half (a bottom and top) and then each half of the deck is interwoven so that every other card comes from the same half of the deck.

The initial process is the same for an ‘out shuffle‘ except the top card stays there and the bottom card remains at the base. Both shuffle-types can be done by practised and seasoned players or performers.

In or Out
When a deck is repeatedly shuffled (ordered and reordered) it becomes less random and it will return to its initial state. A deck of 52 playing cards will be returned to its original order after 52 in shuffles or 8 out shuffles. By way of contrast, in a game like Blackjack where suits don’t matter, about four shuffles are needed to remove the level of order. Photo Credit: Sergi Viladesau
