The Tunnel Shuffle is an eye-catching shuffle based on a faro interlace, finished with a long bridge that resembles a tunnel-like structure. After the cards are interlaced, they are typically spread over the knee, then bent in a controlled way similar to a riffle bridge, creating a smooth, arched tunnel effect.
Spring is a fundamental cardistry technique where cards are released into the air in a controlled burst, used by both cardists and magicians. It relies on diagonal pressure built within the deck and released through the thumb. The move is widely used due to its high level of control, its versatility in use (it's required for e.g. LePaul Spread, Pressure Fan, Under Pressure Fan, and Antifaro), and its relatively low difficulty.
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.

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.
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.
