OFF HAND OVER HAND
By Doug Edwards
To those watching this appears to be a quick, overhand shuffle. The movement of the hands resembles a normal overhand shuffle, however the order of the cards remains unchanged. Performed unstudied, without looking at the hands, this is very effective.
The tip of the fourth finger brushes against the corner of the deck, the pressure of the pad of the 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 finger pulls 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 left finger tips. The right hand at this point holds the front and back stock with a gap between them. The right hand makes a downward gesture, releasing the front stock which falls in front and on top of the 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 the thumb. Finally throw the remaining stock held in the right hand down onto the left palm where it lands behind cards already in the left hand.The deck is now back in its original order.
