A simple technique is to spot what the top card is and then cull the remaining three cards to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now straighten out the aces to display them face up on the table and start to talk about how decks can be shuffled.  During this patter you are going to do two in faro shuffles, showing how the cards are really mixed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow this with a quick overhand shuffle as follows; run four cards and throw, run four cards and throw.  Then pick up the top half of the deck and run three cards to the center of the deck, and throw the rest back on top.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have done this correctly your other four of a kind should be the top card, the card fifth down,  the card fourth from the bottom, and eighth from the bottom of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note<\/strong> that if you want to open with this set you can simply pre-stack this four of a kind and then randomly distribute the aces.  Pull out the deck, do a full deck false shuffle, and then run through the deck pulling out the aces<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you are ready to demonstrate stacking the aces.  Turn the deck face up and place the four aces on the bottom of the deck. Spread the deck to show the aces and spread past the card that was eighth from the bottom (one of your other four of a kind), and take a break above it.  Now double cut to the break, moving those twelve cards to the top of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now do the 451-6 shuffle.  This is described at <a href=\"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/451-stack\/\">https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/451-stack\/<\/a>.  Briefly, crimp the corner of the bottom card of the deck.  Then run four cards singly and throw the rest on top.  Run five cards and throw.  Run one card and throw.  Run six card and throw. Milk the top and bottom cards and run three more and throw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now cut the deck at the crimped card so that the crimped card is on the bottom of the deck.  Pick up the deck and deal five hands.  The dealer will get the four aces and the fourth hand will get the other four of a kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When setting up the trick with a shuffled deck you can some times cull the four of a kind into key positions.  For example, assuming you are going to cull the jacks and you already have a jack on top.    If there is a jack in the bottom four cards simply cull it to the fourth from the bottom,  cull the other two jacks to the top.  Now double cut the top jack to the bottom of the deck, riffle shuffle three cards below it, and four cards between the top two jacks.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was playing around, looking for an easy way of demonstrating a double duke card stack and this is what I came up with.
