Hi,
I had an electric card shuffber, and it didn't mess up the
Braille.

Okay true but why would they braille them if you couldn't shuffle
them? Somewhere one of the blind and low vision aids suppliers
has a
card shuffler.

work well in
the shuffler. Smashes the braille but most likely they just get
stuck and
doesn't work at al.

Thanks for the description. Do the fingers go on the long edges
of the
deck, or the short edges?

I do not believe it matters what type of cards you use.
However,
practicing with regular print playing cards in the beginning may
make it
easier for you to learn.
The easiest way to learn how to shuffle would be to have someone
show
you.
But I can try to explain what I do, although I am not sure how
well I
will do with the description. First, split the deck into two
halves. One
half in each hand. Hold the cards with your thumb on the top
edge and
your middle finger and ring finger on the bottom ends. Do this
with both
hands. Make sure the two half decks are facing each other.
While
you're holding the cards like that, turn your hands with your
palms
facing each other and slightly down facing. The cards will be
bent back.
Put your hands about an inch or so apart from each other.
You're thumbs
should be pretty close together, and on top. Your other
fingers, holding
the cards at the bottom, can be on the table. It may help to
put your
forefinger on the back of the decks, if it is easier to hold
that way.
At this point, start letting go of the top of the cards with
your thumbs.
The cards should be weaving together. Slightly move your thumb
back on
the cards as you let go of the front ones, Don't just let go of
all of
them at once. Once that is done, you can just push the cards
together.
Repeat this a few times and they should be well shuffled. This
will make
a shuffling noise. If the cards are not coming together well,
experiment
with how close you are putting your hands together while
shuffling.
That is what I do. You might also try looking at
pokerology.com. It has
videos and pictures but also has text descriptions of various
methods of
shuffling. The one I have attempted to describe here is what
they called
the riffle shuffle.
Again, I would definitely suggest asking someone to show you how
to do it
in person. However, I hope this has helped maybe a little bit.
If you
have any questions, something about my description You need
clarified, I
will attempt to do so.
Let me know.

Hello,
Any recommendations for easy methods for shuffling cards? I've
tried
looking it up but a lot of descriptions are visual. The
overhand method
sounds the easiest.
The shuffle where you simply press the two halts of the deck
into each
other doesn't really work because the cards I have have labels
on them
that would get in the way. So it needs to be a method that
isn't too
contact-heavy if you know what I mean.
