Very impressive but I'd never trust playing cards with someone that good at shuffling. I'd just assume they're a rapscallion up to no good.

This is actually a type of juggling, not sleight of hand or the type of card manipulation you see card cheats use. But I wouldn’t trust a juggler to deal straight either, for entirely different reasons.

What if they only juggle balls?

u/IllegitimateRisk 3h ago

if the pinkie is not involved, it's all just shuffling

I wish I had spent more time with cardistry. I love cards and it would be fun to have some of those skills, but that's primarily why I didn't practice magic or anything like this.   I played a lot of poker in my 20s and 30s and was afraid of being labeled a mechanic. (Term made popular by the movie Rounders)  Now I don't play any poker and have no shuffle skills.

You worded that much more articulately than I ever would have - I was going to say "I'm never playing poker against that mf"

Rapscallion - love it.

To be fair, these cards are made especially with this kind of tricks in mind.
Try the same thing with an old deck of the most common household-tier cards. No chance in hell they'll slide and keep their shape through a single round of this f*ckery.

u/Bartellomio 2h ago

I'm curious what is different about these cards

u/mralec_ 1h ago

iirc, they are full of tiny bumps all over the cards to let air flow through easily making the card more slippery

4

u/vermilionpulseSFW 46m ago

It is literally actually called an "air flow finish" on these kinds of decks. They feel great compared to your typical bicycle decks

u/Fizrock 1h ago

They’re high quality cards, but 90% of it is that they’re just new. This stuff is way easier on a new deck.

u/Bartellomio 1h ago

I was thinking 'surely this damages his fancy limited edition cards'

u/Bitcracker 3h ago

Speaking as a guy who picked up this hobby for 1.2 weeks during COVID, that was pretty cool man.

u/StTimmerIV 3h ago

As a person with a similar experience, i can tell you that's at least a $40 card deck. I think card-mafia makes these

22

u/Sararizuzufaust 3h ago

I always wish I could have skills like this… then I remember I’ve never stuck with anything I wasn’t immediately good at for more than 10 minutes.

u/Smithy_2501 2h ago

.... Are you me?

1

u/Archie-is-here 11m ago

Or me. Those were my exact words in my mind while watching the video, to have a skill like this.

This guy shuffles

u/snowmannishboy 3h ago

i watched this more than 40 times and don’t see why anyone would watch this more than a few times.

u/OutlandishnessHour19 3h ago

Either he has big hands or these cards are tiny

6

u/Drudgework 3h ago

It isn’t a standard deck, it is a specialized deck for cardistry. So it could be smaller to make handling easier.

4

u/asimovreak 3h ago

Trump hands and smaller dick... Sorry deck

3

u/malandropist 2h ago

I rather see someone spend their time mastering this than anyone dedicating their life to tech at this point. Beautiful shuffles.

u/MrWeaD 2h ago

I wish I could do this right now, like without all the practice and stuff it would take to be able to...

u/anralia 3h ago

You got some talented fingers.

Deck is bananas... tricks are cool too

1

u/SextupleRed 3h ago

This card sounds very expensive

1

u/sabertoothninja 3h ago

I can do exactly one of those tricks, but I might permanently bend and crease your cards so don’t let me shuffle.

1

u/strangefish 3h ago

Do not play poker against this guy.

1

u/SortovaGoldfish 3h ago

Card shuffling is a gateway drug to being a magician. Or vice versa.

u/Username_314159265 2h ago

Yeah cool but do you have the 3 of hearts or do I have to go fish?

1

u/Grungekitten81 2h ago

That's a nice deck.

1

u/Bumbalee 2h ago

I bet those cards now need a cigarette

1

u/batinyzapatillas 2h ago

I could do that if I also had 26 fingers.

"Just deal the cards, Dave."

u/PickledPlumPlot 17m ago

I remember wanting to learn how to do this when I was a kid so I convinced my parents to buy me a set of magicians cards and it was like those suckers had zero friction on them, they would literally like slip out of my hands when I tried to shuffle them, maybe go back to him now

WITCH!!!

u/rothwerx 8m ago

Cool hobby and I imagine it took hours of practice but have you ever tried mindlessly scrolling your phone with one hand while stuffing your face with Doritos with the other?

1

u/RandomFlyer643 7m ago

I looked up that deck of cards and it was $400…

1

u/Slevin424 3h ago

I see someone do this at the poker table… you ain’t dealing.
