My mother and dad taught me how to shuffle them. It does take practice, and I did it with both regular print cards for practice, and then with Braille cards after that. The cardboard braille cards did get less clear with the dots, but those plastic kind didn't. Of course, if I had some drinks, and was careless, sometimes the plastic ones slipped out of my hands, making 52 pick up the game of the moment.  (grin.) But, practice makes perfect.
