Just to beat a dead horse, here is another overhand shuffle stack. This one uses a milking action, but in this shuffle you milk a block of cards which makes it easier.

Here is a variation I came up with on stacking the deck using a haymaker or milk build stacking shuffle. The problem with the typical description/method shown on YouTube is that often all four Aces are placed on the bottom and then stacked with four consecutive Milking sequences; I.E. milk run three, milk run three, milk run three, and milk run three.

Stacking the deck for poker has a long history. Erdnase gave his method which did not require using a haymaker or milk action. Many other overhand stacks to use a milking action in the shuffle. This is my way of performing the Judas Shuffle, which is described in Peter Duffie’s Card Compulsions.

Check out the other version at https://robertjwallace.com/riffle-and-roll/.
The setup in the version is very simple. Have the spectator shuffle the deck. Take the deck back and spread the cards face up, removing the aces as you find them, dropping them to the table.

This is my version of Jack Carpenter’s “Riffle ‘n’ Roll” from his book “The Expert’s Portfolio No. 1”. I am a fan of Carpenter’s work and recommend any of his books.
The main reason I came up with this version is that I found his method to be a little cumbersome with holding multiple breaks. This version eliminates that, but with the expense of using a card with a breather crimp.
Quoting from “The Expert’s Portfolio No. 1”:

I enjoy gambling demonstrations. Simple poker stacks are fun, but when you want to up the ante, so to speak, a demonstration of a double duke is nice. A double duke is where you give a player a good hand, but give yourself a better one.

There are a lot of ten card poker deals out there. The basic plot is that for the final hand of the evening your opponent suggested playing a hand of five card poker with only ten cards, but the spectator gets to choose which cards they get. You, the dealer ends up winning with a pat hand, usually a Royal Flush.

A couple of years ago I wrote a post titled “Finding the aces with Erdnase” where I used Erdnase’s system of overhand shuffle to stack the aces at know positions in the deck.
The positions I used were 10x cards, Ace, 1x card, Ace, 5x cards, and the last Ace. In this post I generalize that method to place the aces at whatever locations you want.

In the normal method of riffle stacking you start with the four aces on top. When you do the shuffles you hold back cards with both the right and left hands, dropping the cards held by the left thumb under the cards held back by the right thumb. At each shuffle the number of cards held back by the left stays the same, but those held by the right decrease.

This is something I am playing with.
Effect
The basic effect is that four aces are placed into the deck at random locations and then the deck is shuffled multiple times. Then five hands of poker are dealt out, with the dealer getting the four aces.
