TO
MAKE
A
“FALSE
SHUFFLE.”--False
shuffles
are
of
two
kinds,
according
to
the
object
with
which
they
are
made.
Those
of
the
first
kind
are
designed
simply
to
keep
in
view
a
particular
card
or
cards,
the
remainder
of
the
pack
being
really
shuffled.
The
second
kind
are
designed
to
keep
the
pack
in
a
pre-arranged
order,
and
are
shuffles
in
appearance
only,
all
the
cards
being
brought
back
to
the
same
relative
positions
which
they
occupied
before
the
shuffle.
First
Method.
(To
keep
a
particular
card
or
cards
in
view.)--Take
the
pack
in
the
left
hand.
If
the
card
to
be
kept
in
view
is
not
already
on
the
top
of
the
pack,
insert
the
little
finger
of
the
left
hand
immediately
above
that
card,
and
make
the
pass
in
order
to
bring
it
to
the
top.
Transfer
this
card
to
the
right
hand,
and
slide
the
remaining
cards
upon
it,
by
little
successive
parcels
of
six
or
eight
cards,
one
above
the
other.
The
known
card
will
now
be
at
the
bottom.
Return
the
pack
to
the
left
hand.
Slide
off
three
or
four
of
the
top
cards
into
the
right
hand,
and
place
the
remaining
cards,
by
parcels
of
six
or
eight
as
before,
alternately
above
and
below
these
top
cards,
till
you
come
to
the
last
card,
which
is
the
special
one,
and
which
you
will
place
above
or
below
as
occasion
may
require.
If
there
are
three
or
four
cards
to
be
kept
in
view,
it
makes
no
difference
in
the
mode
of
operation,
save
that
you
must
treat
those
cards
throughout
as
the
single
card,
and
keep
them
together
accordingly.
