Table Faro Shuffle is a variation of the Faro Shuffle that perfectly interlaces cards on a flat surface. The technique is performed from top to bottom and only the edge of the cards touches the table

Butt Shuffle is a variation of the Table Faro Shuffle that is performed in reverse. It's a version, where the bottom of the cards touches the surface and the interlacing occurs from bottom to top. Its main purpose is to imitate a Table Riffle Shuffle, creating the optical illusion of a standard table riffle, while in reality the cards interlace one-to-one.

Unattributed Cardistry

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.

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.

Table Riffle Shuffle
Table Riffle ShuffleLV 3
Unattributed Cardistry

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
One-Handed Table ShuffleLV 6
Unattributed Cardistry

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.

Table Spread Shuffle
Table Spread ShuffleLV 6
Unattributed Cardistry

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 domino-like effect. The hands are released from the final cards, allowing them to fall gradually and smoothly. The move is often finished with a Cascade using the collected, still-interlaced cards.
