Esto es del volumen 6 de la revista Marlo. Como \u00e9l mismo afirma, requiere mucha pr\u00e1ctica. Pero me divierte experimentar con \u00e9l. Lee las instrucciones de Marlo y, debajo, tengo algunas notas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

“The basic idea of this stack is not new but it has always been considered impractical; however, this conclusion has always been reached by those who never give it the amount of practice required to accomplish it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four Aces on top of deck, cut off about a third of the top of deck to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both hands now grasp the sides of deck as both thumbs raise each portion position for the Riffle Shuffle. During this the cards in each section will automatically beveled outwards. When the portions are raised, each section will less flare out, at their inner left and right corners, when you start the riffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Release right hand section more rapidly than those in left hand portion. This should result in the right thumb holding back the four flared out Aces while while the left hand portion has at least more than sixteen cards. The lowermost cards of this section are also more or less flared out. The Fig. 1 shows the situation at this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right thumb releases one Ace and left thumb release-counts four cards, very quickly onto the first Ace. Follow by releasing the next Ace, then “release Count” four cards onto this third Ace. Release the last Ace, then “release Count” four cards onto this fourth Ace. Left thumb holds back any excess cards and the situation is shown as in Fig. 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left fingers and thumb now lower the excess cards and move them to the right so that these excess cards now lie across the still elongated deck as in Fig. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left first finger is now placed on tip of the cards at inner end and in front of the excess cards, as in Fig. 4, but not contacting these as yet. Right hand has a similar position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right hand now pushes or telescopes its end of the cards towards the left. This cause all the cards to start squaring up; however, left first finger will keep the top excess cars from going any further that the intervening left first finger as in Fig. 5.1-3 which show an inner side vie of the deck’s condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left first finger now pushes the excess cards to the right until their right ends project, past the right end of deck, for about a half inch as in Fig. 6, an inner side view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the excess cards are moved to the right they now become easily taken by the right ends, with right hand. Left hand raises outer side of deck as right hand places the excess cards to under the deck in what is a normal cutting action.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I use this in a demonstration of deck stacking using four aces. But for practice I find it useful to remove the aces from a deck and replace them with four indifferent cards from a different back colored deck. So, for example,I use a red bicycle deck with four blue back cards. This makes it very easy to see if I have gotten the riffle right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, I am not concerned with doing the stack in one shuffle. I don’t like how Marlo deals with the excess card issue. So I hold back what I think is less than sixteen cards. This will usually leave me with the need to do a second shuffle. There are usually two cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First I may have held back enough cards (12 or more) to stack the lower three aces. The second shuffle then needs to add 1, 2, 3 or 4 indifferent cards to the top. You can tell how many you need to add when you are finishing the first shuffles riffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case I will either do a Zarrow shuffle to add the required indifferent cards, especially if the number of cards is three or four. By using a Zarrow shuffle I am making certain that my stacked stock in not disturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I only need one or two cards added to the top I will use a running cut to add the required cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second case I may have not had enough cards to stack the lower three aces. Usually what will happen is that the second ace ends up with two or three indifferent cards between it and the top Ace. In this case I do a second shuffle and hold back either five or six cards with the left hand. I hold back the top ace with the right. Then drop the required number of cards from the left (one or two), drop the top ace, and finish riffling the last four cards in the left hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By trying to hold back less than 16 cards I find that more often than not I have held back exactly 16 cards, which is the perfect result, stacking the deck with one shuffle. If I have excess cards, they are typically only one or two cards. These I let drop, counting them as they drop. Then I can get rid of them during a running false cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sometimes will start with two aces on top of the deck and two on the bottom. As I riffle the first shuffle I keep the bottom aces on the bottom and now I only have to hold back eight cards with the left hand. The right hand drops its aces as describe by Marlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then double cut the bottom two aces to the top and repeat the shuffle. In this case I will always need at least two shuffles to complete the stack, but they are easier shuffles.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
