How to Shuffle Cards: Overhand Shuffle

The overhand shuffle is one of the easiest and most common ways to shuffle a pack of cards. Its a great shuffle for magicians to use since lay people are already familiar with it, and because there are some great controls and false shuffles that can be done while shuffling the deck in this manner.

God I love old YouTube videos. Straight to the point and was perfect

oh my god, thank you. the “peeling” motion makes so much sense- i always used to just slam two stacks of cards together and hope that they slotted into the gaps in the other one- obviously, it hardly ever worked

[bekimetal]

Practiced for 5 minutes and I'm now a master, I've been putting off learning since 2015 🙃🙃😂😂

Old youtube videos always explain things the best

I feel like such an idiot. XD I've been doing magic for 10 years and I just figured out recently that I've been doing the overhand shuffle backwards this entire time...

TYSM for the longest time I only know ripple and bridge shuffle

Thanks. I’ve been looking all over the place how to do this, cuz I just started a board game collection... I never realized till having my own collection how crazy protective owners get about not damaging their cards. I’ve even sleeved them like the crazy table top gamers I told myself I’d never be 😂. But for the unsleeved cards, I needed this vid for shuffling without damaging.

I had to do it the opposite way but it helped heaps, thanks!

[juliechipo]

Thank you so much for this helpful video. I found it easy to assume the position for holding the cards and quickly felt more confident using this technique. Thank you!

[wiktorbryowski]

Thanks, I've mastered it after 5 minutes!

[TheRookie]

Appreciate it bro, needed a good and simple style to shuffle well.

[bennonobueno]

Why has no one ever explained it to me like this?? I've been putting off learing how to shuffle for years now!!

Yeah, I don't know when though. I'm going to be busy so it could be a few weeks before it's uploaded.

How do I prevent my cards from spreading out and tilting?
