Doug casually false shuffles the deck.

OFF HAND OVER HANDBy Doug Edwards

To those watching this appears to be a quick, overhand shuffle. The movement of the handsresembles a normal overhand shuffle, however the order of the cards remains unchanged.Performed unstudied, without looking at the hands, this is very effective.

Hold the deck in the right hand, firmly held by the thumb at one top corner and the first fingerat the adjoining long corner. The remaining fingers rest lightly on the end of the deck.

The tip of the fourth finger brushes against the corner of the deck, the pressure of the pad ofthe finger tip levering out the middle portion of the deck.

The open left hand is palm up under the cards. The right hand moves down, the fourth fingerpulls away and the center section of the deck is released to fall onto the left palm.

The released stock rests on the left palm, the face of the stock tilted to rest against the leftfinger tips.

The right hand at this point holds the front and back stock with a gap between them. The righthand makes a downward gesture, releasing the front stock which falls in front and on top ofthe center stock in the left palm.

The left fingers curl in to cause the cards in the left hand to fall forward against the ball of thethumb.

Finally throw the remaining stock held in the right hand down onto the left palm where it landsbehind cards already in the left hand.

The deck is now back in its original order.
