Overhand Shuffle is one of the easiest and most common ways to shuffle a pack of cards. It's a great shuffle for magicians to use since lay people are already familiar with it, and because there are some great controls and false shuffles that can be done while shuffling the deck in this manner. The shuffle is commonly used in western countries. References The description above is adapted from the 52Kards video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0J_487VquE
Hindu Shuffle is a simple shuffle originating from Asia and is commonly used in many Eastern regions. It begins by taking a substantial portion of cards from the bottom of the deck with the dominant hand, then stripping off small packets into the other hand. Its mechanics are similar to the Strip Cut, with the key difference that it is performed entirely in the hands, without using a table or other surface.
One-Handed Shuffle is a technique of shuffling cards using a faro-style interlace performed with a single hand. The ring finger or little finger is often used to stabilize the packets in the meeting corners.
Triforce, also known as Russian Pyramid , is a pyramid-shaped display made of three closely connected triangles. Two building methods are commonly used: Using the long edges of the cards. Using the short edges of the cards, resulting in a taller structure.

Strip Cut, also known among dealers as the Box Cut, is a professional table shuffle used as an official part of the shuffling procedure in competitive card games such as poker tournaments. The move begins by lifting a substantial portion of the deck with the non-dominant hand, then systematically stripping off small packets onto a pile on the table.
Running Scissor Cut, also known as a One-Handed Overhand Shuffle, is a continuation of the Scissor Cut that systematically strips off smaller packets from the main bottom packet. References Dan & Dave discussing this move (5:06-7:54) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m0mjWI7m1Y
Table Riffle Shuffle is a professional, efficient card shuffling technique widely used in magic, casinos, and competitive card games. It is performed on a table surface by riffling the long edges of the cards. Unlike the standard Riffle Shuffle, this method is less prone to exposing cards to players, making the shuffle more discreet.
One-Handed Table Shuffle is a technique that combines elements of both riffle and faro shuffling. Two aligned halves of the deck are placed close together at an angle. The index finger is then positioned at the point where the corners meet, lifting the packets upward while the remaining fingers press them together from the sides, allowing the cards to interlace.
A precise shuffle where two equal packets are woven together card-for-card, creating a perfectly interlaced deck. In cardistry, faro is often used as a technique for setting up or enabling moves, especially displays, weaves, and packet-based sequences.
Spring Triangle, as the name suggests, is a move where the Card Spring move and Charlier Cut are combined into one. The cardist must first do a spring, then perform a Charlier Cut with their other hand to form a triangle. This move is frequently used alongside Trinity.
Table Spread Shuffle is a shuffling technique performed by spreading the cards across a flat surface. The cards are first spread out, then the outer corner of the leading cards is lifted to bring them upright. This motion pulls the remaining cards along, creating a self-standing structure of cards. The hands are released from the final cards, allowing them to fall gradually and smoothly, creating a domino-like effect. The move is often finished with a Cascade using the collected, still-interlaced cards.
Rolling Thunder is, as the name suggests, a display in which the cards "roll" to form a alternating four packet display and then close with a collapsing motion to close all packets and square up.
