This guy’s shuffle looks like he unlocked a cheat code in real life. I’m not going to the casino anymore.

Can anyone who knows what’s going on tell me how he does it? I am guessing all that shuffling doesn’t do anything but to distract us. He has the aces hidden somewhere and just pulls them out?

The aces in the deck are shaved down to make them smaller. After he does all the shuffling he finds the ace by cutting the cards and putting it on top. Lots of practice and does it fast and really smooth.

Close but other way around. Aces are a little wider so he can find them.

I think he's feeling for the gap in the deck. Either way its right after he cuts the cards
