ok it's a deck of cards with red and black cards, no doubles they are in order red black or black red.

now you can shuffle them but no cuts. then you create a starting point split where there is a double.

and now when you take two cards out it should be red black (or black red) every time for the whole deck.

i don't know why how is this possible????????

  1. it's possible to solve this...just ask someone who is an expert in Mathematics.


  2. tch........there are tons of tricks like that,they are usually really complicated

  3. Hi

  4. ur not shofling good

  5. I think your talking about the "perfect shuffle". If you are doing this, after 2 perfect shuffles the deck would have all 4 Aces next to each other as well as every other card, 4 two's, 4 three's etc.

    When you open a brand new deck of cards (after you dispose of the jokers) the deck should start with an Ace (usually spades) then the 2 (same suit) then the 3 and so on. So, if you cut in the exact middle of the deck, where the opposite colored suits start, you should have 2 equal stacks of 26 cards going from Ace through King - Ace through King twice in each stack. And if you do a perfect shuffle to where every other card from each stack goes one on top of the other in succession, then after 1 perfect shuffle the deck should now look like AA22334455667788991010JJQQKKAA2233445566... with all the paired colors next to each other. And then do this one more time and you have all of the cards grouped together in 4 of a kind's. AAAA222233334444 etc.

    This art can be mastered with time and practice. Alot of top card hustlers can do it. But it's tough to put it in action without some form of cheating unless it's used just for tricks.

    So it might not mean you need to shuffle better. Maybe you're already shuffling to good. Try another form of shuffling if it continues for you. Spread all the cards out on the table and mix them up or something similar.

    Hope this helped.
