What it looks like is this. But it&#8217;s a bit more sneaky than that. Because, for example, if I have the three of diamonds, I have no other three of diamonds in this deck. But if I shuffle the cards, I can still maintain control over the three of diamonds. <\/p>\n<p> How this works, is that when you take that. First, you need to be really good at an overhand shuffle first. So make sure that you&#8217;re very comfortable with shuffling the cards like this. Because otherwise this will not look any good at all, people will figure it out. <\/p>\n<p> So what you do is you take off a block of cards, about ten cards or so. And their card, or whatever you wish to control, whether it&#8217;s the aces or whatever, that&#8217;s on top of the deck. When you go to do the second chop of the shuffle, you are going to pick this up with the other fingers behind. So it&#8217;s going to be this kind of action. And you&#8217;re going to continue the shuffle on until you reach that gap. You drop everything above it, and then drop those cards. <\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;ll do it with the cards face up like this, with the five of spades as the top of the deck. If I shuffle off the first packet, that goes behind the others as I continue the shuffling action. As per usual, I reach the break and I drop everything on top of it. So from behind, you can see it like this. And you should have the shuffle be a very smooth, consistent action. You can do this a few times in a row and maintain the same shuffle. That is how you do a lift shuffle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript Hi, I&#8217;m Mike Patrick and this is how to do an overhand lift style shuffle.
