Overhand shuffle
Hold the deck face down in left-hand dealing position, then grasp it in right-hand end grip with the right thumb
and second finger near the inner and outer right comers. At the same time, move the left index finger from the
outer end, curling it beneath the deck. Bring the deck to a vertical position with the right hand, using the left
side of the deck as a pivot point. The deck is at an angle of about fifty degrees. It is held lightly between the
right thumb and middle finger.
The right hand now begins the actual shuffle, lifting the deck as the left thumb holds back the top few cards,
shuffling them off, to use the technical term. This action will be called the shuffle action. With the left thumb,
pull a comparable number of cards (about ten) off the right-hand portion (called the stock) onto the cards in
the left hand as your right hand lifts the remainder of the deck.
This procedure is repeated until the right hand's stock is exhausted, which generally takes five to seven shuffle
actions.
