Basically I start with the four aces on top and then riffle shuffle four cards between them.  The first shuffle is genuine.  I hold back three cards with the right hand and four with the left.  Drop the four on the ace and let the three drop.  The second and third shuffles are Zarrow shuffles that add four cards above the third and second aces.  Then I cut the deck, keeping a break, drop four cards from above the break and then do a up-the-ladder style cut to bring the stack back on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second stack technique is a riffle stack (from 1:00 minute to 2:00 minute).  I don&#8217;t remember where I learned this one, but I think it might be from Jack Carpenter.  It starts with three aces on the bottom and one on top.  It only takes two shuffles to stack the deck.  The first shuffle puts four cards above the bottom most ace and four cards on top of the top most ace.  Start the riffle by dropping one card from the left followed by four from the right. Finish the riffle by dropping the right hand top card last (an ace). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the square up you cut and maintain a break under the other two aces that were second and third from the bottom.  You drop one ace as you split the deck for the second shuffle.  Take the top half to the right hand and the bottom to the left.  At this point in the bottom half in the left hand an ace on the bottom.  The right hand has the and ace on the top, , four indifferent cards and an ace, four indifferent cards and an ace.  Start the second riffle by dropping five cards from the left, then at small block from the right.  Since the right hand packet has most of the stack on top, riffle faster with the left hand and drop most of the right hand cards on top (you need to hold back at least 11 cards.) As you square up the cards, lift up on the right hand half so you can take a break above the lower five cards.  Double cut those five cards to the top and you are done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like this stack because it uses only two shuffles.  But it is harder to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third stack is from Erdnase &#8220;Expert at the card table&#8221;, the chapter on &#8220;Erdnase System of Stock Shuffling&#8221;, (from 2:00 to 2:47.)  I won&#8217;t describe it here since the book is readily available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth is a milk stack, starting with three aces on the bottom and one on top (from 2:57 to 3:29.)  The basic action is to run five cards, milk one from the top and bottom, run three, milk one from the top and bottom, run three, milk one from the top and bottom.  Note that by having the one ace on the top you only have to do the milk and run three three times.  Most examples I have seen start with all four aces on the bottom which then requires four milking actions.  Also most I have seen injog the next card and shuffle off.  Then cut at the injog.  Instead, I run six more cards then in-jog and shuffle off.  Then I cut at the in-jog and run the six cards to restore the stack on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next stack is from Dai Veron&#8217;s book &#8220;Early Veron&#8221;, edited by Faucett Ross, the copy of which I have includes the &#8220;$20 manuscript.&#8221;  It is contained in the effect &#8220;Vernon Poker Deal&#8221;, which is a great effect but requires starting with a stacked deck.  If you just want to show a stacking demonstration you can just do the first half of the trick. (from 3:30 to 4:15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically start with three aces on top and one on the bottom of the deck.  The fifth card from the bottom is crimped.  Run off 11 cards and throw them back on top.  Then run 4 to the bottom of the deck, then run 5 to the bottom, followed by running 1 more.  Then run five more to the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you have to cut the deck at the crimp and complete the cut to bring the stack to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a simple stack to use as a &#8220;demonstration&#8221; of how gamblers use to run up stacks.  The only thing I don&#8217;t like about it is having to crimp the fifth card from the bottom of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, the last &#8220;stack&#8221; on the video is not a poker stack.  I start with the aces on top, and do two riffle shuffles.  The first shuffle holds back four cards from my left hand, my right hand drops two aces, my left hand drops two cards, my right hand drops the last to aces, followed by the last two cars from the left.  The next shuffle adds three cards to the top of the deck.  Then I do a Faro Out shuffle that places the aces at positions 11, 13, 19 and 21.  If you do an In shuffle the cards are at 12,13, 20 and 22.  In the video I did an In shuffle.  I deal the cards down, telling the spectator that I am evaluating the weight of each card, which is how I can tell if the face down card is an ace.  The final ace is held back by second deals to obfuscate any discernible pattern.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below is one of my &#8220;Starbucks&#8221; videos of a practice session of stacking the deck.
