4) NOTE: If you are having trouble learning this shuffle... remember to have patience. Many people have posted their success in learning it, just by watching this video - I tried to include every possible detail... PLEASE be aware that not every tip will sink in the first time you watch... and although it's counter-intuitive... IF YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO AGAIN.... that will probably be enough to learn it. Just pay close attention to all the tips I give. Look at my finger positions carefully. This will be a life-long skill you can enjoy... so you might as well learn it now! :)
Unfortunately this is not helping at all I’ve done everything right and it always screws up
Jayden Dreemurr can you can more specific information how it fails to work? I’d be happy to make suggestions. And if you post a video I can give you even better feedback
At the end where I loosen the cards the end up everywhere. Idk if I’m doing something wrong or not.
Jayden Dreemurr check the position of my fingers at 4:55.... you will see they angle inwards (even after releasing pressure) to catch the falling cards
i tried using my dominate hand but found it not so smooth, so i changed hands and my left hand is actually my magic hand. Great video.
All I got from this was disappointment in myself and slightly bent cards.
Camper and an even lower self esteem
We all start somewhere right?
Omg u dont even know. I swear my cards are too thick or something
Knite if you typed that the cards are too stiff then I that would have been a valid reason.
I highly recommend to calm down... take a breath... and just watch this video one more time. I gave A LOT of details and troubleshooting techniques. It's quite possible not all of this sinks in the first time. Watch my finger positions carefully, and make sure you see the entire video. With practice you can DEFINITELY learn this shuffle... many others have commented on their success below. And I believe you can have it too. Just don't give up too soon. (By the way, as I mentioned in the video... the cards get bent one way first... don't hold it there too long... .and then they will be bent the opposite way.... so please listen carefully to the video.) Best of luck! This is a great skill to enjoy the rest of your life...! :)
And this is how my gambling addiction started
What are you, master shuffler? Gamblers don't really care about shuffle techniques cos it's really hard to shuffle horses or other large things you can gamble on
ikrrrrr
Our class (6 7 class) started to play black jack because its “math”
@@theintense1986 r/itswoooshwithf4os
this has nothing to do with gambling lmao
I love modern technology. I spent almost 25 years being so jealous that my brother could do the cool bridge with a deck of cards, and all it took was an 8-minute TH-cam video to learn this skill. Thanks Jason!
Exactly. This was awesome
That's so cool to hear Seth! :) Really glad it helped. Yes, I too am learning some life skills from TH-cam as I go!
Bruh 8 minimum I’ve been trying to do this shit for like 45 minutes but I still can’t do the bridge

I'm stuck in quarantine so I decided to learn how to shuffle cards. Thanks!
Happy to help! And glad you put in the effort to learn it! I think it's something you can enjoy the rest of your life. :)
It's very satisfying for some reason😂
Big Asain Brain same
Same here
How long did it take you to get it down?
Really important thing to note you want your thumbs parallel with the cards not perpendicular the tips should be facing away from you. This is a vital part that many tutorials don't mention because it's so ingrained they forget
Thanks for the extra tip! :) See my follow-up video in the pinned comment. I included this tip (and others) after reviewing issues people presented in the comments.
this helped so much, thank you!
Ty for amazing tip lol
That makes so much sense as to why my cards tend to fall in little stacks sometimes! Thank you
When i do it with my thumbs perpendicular to the cards its better for me
Every time I fail at this and the cards go flying everywhere, my life span decreases by at least a month.
Just another reason for me to keep trying.
See my follow-up video in the pinned comment! :) I spent even more time to break down problems that people reported in the comments...
Yep
frigging hate cards i just threw them across the room
ive been shuffling UNO Cards for almost an hour
i have a problem
lmfao
Wait same👀
uno cards are a pain in the ass to shuffle. Works easier with my normal card deck. To bad im doing this to be better at shuffleing uno cards lol
How? I can't even do the part I just wanna play UNO 😭😭😭😭
me
I don’t understand how this is physically possible without a table
Edit: holy, shit, nevermind, I actually did it
Edit 2: now I can’t do it anymore
Lol😂your edits are amazing 👏
Hahaha
@@soulofchai , same here. Once it looks i ve nailed it, then 3 times missed.
For consistency it's just going to be practice... leave a deck of cards nearby the couch and practice on different days. :) Also see my follow-up video in the pinned comment! :) I spent even more time to break down problems that people reported in the comments...
Excellent tutorial! We learned quick.
Chad Zuber awesome!!! Glad to hear it
why the fuck aren't you verified you have like 1mil subs
@@F.E.M.T.O ... yeah why isn't he?
Who is we not me
@@JasonParkerMagic i didn't understand very well :(
Thanks! My hands hate me now, but I am pretty happy.
I literally learned how to shuffle alright in a hour due to this video, and was hopeless before, so just be confident if you are losing hope.
My best tips that I 100% reccomend to follow is just practice riffling with you thumb and to not be scared and apply lots of force on the cards with your index when shuffling. Don't worry you'll get it. 😁
That's great! People pay attention to Ben and don't give up! If you aren't getting it at first, keep trying and pay CAREFUL attention to the trouble shooting sections of the video. Make sure your fingers are in the same position as mine. It might take WORK. But you'll be happy you learned...... life-long skill! :)
Holy shit, I used to get made fun of because I could never shuffle cards but now I'm getting the hang of it. I used to tell people my hands were too big, but apparently that makes it easier (i'm 6'4 and have giant hands)?
Anyways, one tip I could give is not only is it important to know the right way to handle them but also knowing when you're about to do it wrong. When I would try to bend them, I could feel the cards being stiff in my hands and my thumb doesn't have control over them. I usually reset there and kind of practice with one hand just getting the feel of riffling them. It was much more difficult to do in my non-dominate hand for obvious reasons. Also flipping the cards around kind of bent them back and reset it. Anyways, thank you!
Super cool! Glad you got it. And yes giant hands are awesome for doing card stuff. You will be able to palm cards much more easily! :)
Don't overthink it, just do it many times and you'll get comfortable with the cards.
Can’t get my thumbs in the right place
I can't quite get the "combine" part down, both halves of the deck keep collapsing together at the same time. I suppose the result is the same but it definitely looks less impressive lol
Theres a trouble shooting thing at the very end
You can just skip it and learn it later. It's not vital to the shuffle
I had this problem too. Make sure you bend the cards till they made 90° or J and L shapes. It really makes a difference
My cards dont fall down one at a time when i finish its just clumps-
I encourage everyone to check the troubleshooting section (Thanks @PickleFox!). Additionally...... see my follow-up video in the pinned comment! :) I spent time to make ANOTHER video, breaking down problems that people reported in the comments...
Though especially challenging to me, having taken 3 hours to truly learn it, the satisfaction of pulling off a clean shuffle with bridge is second to none.
who else is here because they got flamed for not being able to shuffle
Very good in depth tutorial. Other channels should take notes
Very kind words! Thanks!! Yeah sometimes I go deep into details... I just wanted this tutorial to work for people who have had trouble watching other tutorials.... and just couldn't figure it out.
Joey Hiner agreed
I watched 1 thousand other videos on how to do this and the way u do it is the only one that worked, thank you 🙏
Yeeeaah! Your comment makes it all worth it. I'm really glad I could help :)
Jason.. IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I will practice more
After 21 years, I’m furious with myself for only just now learning this
I have been going through a tough time lately, feeling like I wasn’t getting anywhere with one past time that I’ve been doing for such a long time and feeling like I just couldn’t learn anything properly to get better at it. So I decided “Screw it-new hobby time” and always thought it would be awesome to get into card and coin magic. Except I’m starting from scratch, couldn’t even shuffle. So, already feeling cruddy about my learning abilities, but needing to try and pull myself along, I found your tutorial here for shuffling. I started out like junk and really impatient with myself… but when I settled down, really paid attention to your instructions and demonstrated steps, it worked!! I’m still working on smoothing it out, but feel so excited at being able to learn this simple but solid little foundation piece, where I’ve been shuffling cards basically the same messy way as I’ve been since about 7/8 years old lol thanks for such clear instructions. Can’t wait to look at the rest of your videos!
Idk if its just me, but my hands are hella small and wont allow me to bridge my cards
Trinity Brown bro I feel you
It took a while. My hands are hella sore, but i figured it out. 😌😂
@@ryn9105 lmao I see y'all are also trying to learn some new things in quarantine
Trinity Brown opposite here, hands are to big for my thumbs and fingers to let it go down without having chunks
@@Chaff ye bro I have learned the boomerang card throw trick it comes back to me when I throw it
Great tutorial. What seperates this video from the rest, is the camera angle that makes it easier to understand what's going on, and the troubleshooting. Good job man
Thanks for the feedback! :) I'm going to make another tutorial soon and I am reviewing what went right with this video. :)
I owe you a huge thanks. I absolutely suck at card shuffling so badly that someone bought me a shuffle machine for a gift. I have used the hell out of it. I decided that I would learn and your video taught me how an easy to understand fashion with a few extras to boot. For the past week I have had a deck of cards sitting on my coffee table and every time I sit down I shuffle five times. I'm a thousand times better than I was and I can't wait till our next card game! Thanks thanks
Let’s take a moment to thank the cards for their sacrifice for the making of this video
Good god I'm so bad at this
it took me JUST 2 hours of immense practice. NOW THIS, IS QUALITY CONTENT.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. And congrats on the new skill! :)
This video really helps. At 67 I haven't played cards for years but now can actually shuffle. You are really good!! Great even!
People have been trying to teach me this forever and my hands would not cooperate. But the way you broke it down- I got it in under half an hour. Thank you!
The first time I did this I nearly cried
Jason: Now as promised, troubleshooting.
Me: Everything that happens to me.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this my entire life. I managed it halfway through the video! So happy!!
I DID IT AND I GOT SO HAPPY I SHOWED IT TO EVERYONE I KNOW WHO ALREADY KNEW how to do it...
There are many channels to explain cardmagic and stuff but you add your nice humour while still do very good explaining. I rly enjoy your videos :)
Durchaus Kritisch thanks for the kind words :) and I’m glad you are liking the humor!
Dude, I’ve had trouble with shuffling for over 2 years thanks you so much
Glad I could help!!
I spend a whole week learning this when I was younger, that was 25 years ago before TH-cam was popular.. haven’t touched a deck in about 10 years so i need this video to relearn this .. thank you so much
For ages I've not been able to figure out the bridge bit, it was annoying me. 4 minutes into this video and I can now do it. Thank you so much 💖
Thanks. Very good tutorial and you also thought of possible trouble. Thanks to you I’ve mastered the shuffle, now I only need the bridge to work.
awesome, glad to hear that!! :)
2020 Quarantine and this is what I do. 😎
It'll be a life-long skill too :)
I'm going to be a first class gambler l
while I was watching this video, the shuffling was great and i suddenly screamed: "OH, I LOVE TH-cam" and my mom got confused all of a sudden
props to you, Jason Parker.
As a child, my family was poor and I collected different decks of cards since that was, at the time, the cheapest hobby I could have had. Usually second hand decks from my uncle’s poker habit or used casino decks from dollar stores. I recently got back into collecting when I saw a random cardistry video on TH-cam and realized how artful most new decks are. Now as an adult with trigger finger in the middle finger of my dominant hand, I can’t riffle shuffle as well as I could as a child and found that the grip you use, and I suppose everyone else probably uses, helps me to ruffle again. Thank you for being the first cardistry tutorial I have watched and hopefully I can learn a few more moves that are light on middle finger movement.
learned within 5 mins, all about positioning correctly
Thanks so much I thought I would have never learn how to do this great shuffle technique. Now I can do it not as smooth as you but I'll continue to practice...xoxo
Oh my word this was worth a watch. Look, I know how to shuffle but watched anyway out of curiosity while trying to beat insomnia late at night. This is hands down the best tutorial I've seen on the subject. Very clear instructions and demonstration. Every second in this video is utilized to reach the goal of the video, thanks for not trash talking away half the video and launching into the action straight away. You've peaked my interest, I've subscribed.
There is an element of muscle memory too - takes a little while to be able to lay in cards one at a time.
Practising releasing the cards one at a time with each hand held me too. Same thing happened when I was learning other shuffles. You develop more control over a bit of time.
Finally someone that explains step by step, it’s like you’re reading my mind, you helped me with everything, thank you!
Glad I could help! :)
Everyone of my family members have tried to teach me how to do this and never could. You literally taught me how in 5 mins thank you.😂
My Dad's side of the family have always been avid card players. I always got jealous seeing them able to shuffle like that but that I never could. Thanks for this tutorial!
I’m trying to learn this, I’m trying to become a magician via TH-cam.
You are a fantastic teacher.I can do this.
Mimi Pool awww thanks! :) glad you can do it now! A life long skill
There are over 100 tutorial videos for the Riffle Shuffle, but this is by far the best,thanks to the troubleshooting tips!!! ❤ I watched many and still wasn't able to do this. The troubleshooting showed me what i was doing wrong. Not enough L shape and my hands did not show down enough.
Awesome, so glad to hear this helped! (And I've got that 2nd follow up video with even more troubleshooting tips... linked in the pinned comment.)
i learned how to riffle shuffle from this video, albeit with a few rounds of 52-card-pickup. thanks!
Great tutorial, Thank you for making this
Ron Weasley hey I’m really glad it helped!! :)
RONNN I love you 😂❤️❤️
Завжди хотів дізнатися, як це в різних вестернах та інших фільмах герої так вправно перемішують карти. Аж он воно як! І секрети, як виправити всі лажові місця підчас перемішування - вони те що треба, ніби про мене розповів :)
Привіт українець!
It took me a couple weeks of daily practice, but I finally got it! My bridge still needs some work though :) Thanks so much!
I had a stroke last year and lost a lot of my abilities or I completely forgot how to do it but I remember it exists. So I have been trying to for months to be able to shuffle cards again. It's difficult to relearn but videos like this are so helpful. So thank you
Thanks this helped a lot. I play card games with my mom and step dad nearly every day and he always has to shuffle for me because I couldn’t do it. Now I will finally be able to do it myself :)
Nice Win my friend
OML I ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING INCREDIBLE FOR ONCE IN QUARANTINE YAY 🥳
Edit: oh. my. holy. fudge I GOT A LIKE FROM THE CREATOR OMG OMG TYSSSSSMMMMMMMMMM AAAAHHHHHHHH I'M SO BLESSSSEEEDD THX SOOO. MUCH

Shit.

Thank you dude. I was gettin frustrated... really frustrated with my shuffling technequie (definitly not the whisky), and you cleared EVERYTHING right up. I can see you are a freakin card master and i will habitually watch this video till i look as good as you
Thanks for this. Just a simple finger position tips and I began shuffling cards!!
Does the thickness of the cards make a difference? Mine tend to clump.
It's important to have your thumbs parallel to the cards when releasing them, not perpendicular
Probably doesn't matter that much.... but in general I do recommend Bicycle cards -- and I will put a link to them *IN THE DESCRIPTION ABOVE*..... (but more importantly, make sure you see the troubleshooting section of this video where I talk about the cards coming out in chunks or more individually. Also make your thumb-tips parallel to edge of deck, not perpendicular. Look closely at what I am doing.)
Let’s see if I get anywhere with this cardistry thing now that I’m in quarantine.
Seth Cabral sane here
same
I can finally do this!!
Great tutorial, but I think it needed some more explanation on the bridge as I had to learn it from other tutorials to get it better.
But really great job! Thanks!
Gambling in my DnD game just got a whole lot more immersive, thank you so much!
Haha glad to hear it!
This is perfect! I've been trying to do this for weeks and finally managed to do it successfully after watching this last night!
Katlynn Bennett awesome!! So happy it helped someone! 👍🏻😃
Jason Parker if only I could do this every time 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻♀️
You taught me a skill I've wanted since I was a kid in one video! Excellent video, thank you very much
Awesome glad to hear it!!
Wow this helped a lot, thank you! I have known how to shuffle them, but I just couldn’t do the last step but now thanks to your video it worked first try! Fr, of course after that, it didn’t work anymore but then as I practiced about 10 minutes, now it works every time!
Thank you soooo so much!!! I’ve never been able to quite get this and I’ve had several people try and show me, although I usually just got the whole, “OMG you don’t know how to shuffle cards!?!” Like NO IM NOT COORDINATED NATURALLY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! but I legit just shuffled my cards like a dang pro!!! And I have YOU to thank for that. Lol. For real, thank you. And KUDOS!
Thank you so much...
In my class just me who can do this shuffle
Hafy bynka Channel your the cool kids now
Amazing can you react to dynamo
I taught myself how to do this one day at home when I was 10. No Internet or anybody teaching me how. I was so proud of myself!
Thanks! All I have to do now is waiting for postman pat👍🏻 I ordered 3 different decks, one had a discount of 85 percent so I doubled the amount of that👌🏻
Am completely new to cardistry, this helped a whole bunch, especially the troubleshooting section. Fantastic, cheers :)
Awesome, really glad to hear it! :) By the way, here's an unofficial video tutorial I made ... with less editing / etc th-cam.com/video/4RUUNaSH-J0/w-d-xo.html
I want to use this technique for shuffling Tarot cards
Omg same! But I'm too scared of bending my cards 😔
Thanks so much now I can finally shuffle cards and I can even do it with out a table! 😃
THANK YOU ❤❤❤ I COULD NEVER SHUFFLE PROPERLY!! NOW I CAN FLEX THIS COOL SHUFFLE ❤
You've helped me a bunch already but i cant seem to get the brigde down. Any advive?
LmAo Zen did you try pulling your hands out sightly, if you have anyone in your family then just ask them since it's better to learn bridge like that.
Are there any tips for getting a feeling for the cards or sth? Becausr I'm not even able to shuffle all the cards individually with my thumb, mostly there are like 5 cards falling down together. And if i manage to do it, my thumb feels hella crampy haha
Check the troubleshooting section I made about how NOT to release the cards in clumps. If your thumb is sore... give it a rest and practice the next day. You don't want to practice too much all in one day and hurt your hands. Seriously. :)
@@JasonParkerMagic Thank you! :)
I saw a lot of video on youtube, and this is the first video with very good explanation ! THANKS !
Thanks! I am running a magic camp for kids this summer for the first time ever and I didn't know how to breakdown and explain the riffle shuffle. Been doing so long it is just muscle memory. Now I know how to explain it and how to troubleshoot when they are having these problems! You rock! I can also give them this video link for more at home help.
Awesome, glad it helped Ryan! And thanks very much for sharing the link :)
For some reason at the end of the riffle the cards seem to clump in one clump of about 10-15 cards (happens more in the left hand). Why is this happening?
I'm having the same problem too
You gotta let go smoothly with both hands evenly, at the end he has troubleshooting for it as well. Get the right angle and bend the cards enough to make an L shape.
See the trouble-shooting section of the video where I specifically address this issue. :)
Once I watched the video, baam, all cards fall out my table and hands😭😭😭
Oh no!! You should definitely practice over a table or couch so you can pick them up easier while learning :)
Jason Parker Thanks man, I am still learning the bridge part since it is the part of the shuffle that messes up the trick:)
@@imshooktaf758 Wish I could see exactly how you are having difficulty.... but one thing I've seen before is people don't keep enough pressure on the top of the curved bridge with the thumbs.... gotta keep it round on top.... needs to be kept under tension. An arch shape. Then when you start to release pressure on the sides with your fingers.... the cards have nowhere else to go except to release and coalesce together. Keep that pressure with thumbs on top of bridge pushing down.
and, after that, for about 3 weeks, I can do the Shuffle, thanks man! I should still practice it more while doing cardistry;)
Hey Jason, Thanks for video. I've always wondered and struggled on this shuffle. after 5min of watching this, I swear my shuffle improved 300%..THX ALOT
I learned this trick so fast thanks to you. Now I am starting to show off to my friends.
All I got are achy wrists, bendy cards, lowered self-esteem and a whole lot of frustration. Sigh
Wtf. I just can't get the cards one by one. I have tried everything but they just always end up in clumps of cards. Ugh I give up
Sol Power888 omg #relatable
I thought I already replied to this message, but I guess not? Pay special attention to the part where I show about beveling the cards to help with releasing them less in clumps. And really use the very edge of your thumb.... you don't want the cards too deep under your thumb. They should be almost about to lose their grip on your thumb. Hope it helps. Let me know!
@@jerzi4780 Check my reply... hope it can help you too!
@@JasonParkerMagic thanks a ton will try now
Thankyou , now I can do the riffle shuffle off by heart within 3 days 👍🏻 💪

I have been searching on youtube for this for a week
Finally I found the best tutorial and did the shuffle in the 3rd try
Thanks a lot
JASON! I have been trying to do this for years! I finally got the hang of it thanks to your video!!!
This tutorial was much better then any other i have found. Thank you!
im trying to become a pokemon duelist and this is by far the best tutorial. Thank you!!
thanks man this vid was great got straight to the point and showed it perfectly learned it in 10 minutes deserves a like.
been practising this for 2 days and i've got it nailed down now
Nub here. I've always had trouble aligning cards and always needed to kind of use the table to align them. Never ever considered using the pinkys to keep the cards aligned. Nice. Thanks! 5 year old video, but thanks!
thank you so much i can do it now!!! also i learn card magic to try and distract myself from having panic attacks and this video helped that as well so thanks :)
Thank you great video. I will show it to hubby tomorrow!
Thank you! This helped so much I was so confused as to how to get the bridge part down
Thanks a lot, it really eased me into shuffling. Now I can finally tell all my friends and family that I can shuffle. Can’t do the second part sadly
I won't have to be embarrassed anymore when it's time for me to shuffle the deck playing with friends. Thank you so much.
The first time I did the bridge I was amazed how it was so clean and satisfying
