The first method

Let's say the king of diamonds is at the top of the deck, and you need to shuffle the deck so that its location doesn't change.

Start as in a normal shuffle, separating a few cards from the top with your left thumb and dropping them into your palm, moving the bulk of the deck up.

This time, separate only one card from the top with your thumb, and, transferring it to the pack in your left hand, place it inside so that it protrudes towards you by about a centimeter. This card, called the nested card, is now above the king of diamonds. Continue shuffling so that at the end of the shuffle, this card still protrudes slightly in your direction.

Of course, you don't want the public to notice this, and when the inserted card has taken its place, continue shuffling, casually shifting the stacks of cards to your left hand. Only you will know about the nested card.

The shuffle doesn't end there, though. As soon as you have transferred the last pack to your left hand, remove the cards again by pushing them with your right thumb under the inserted card and placing all the cards from under it on top of the deck and back into the deck in your left hand. The king of diamonds is at the top of the deck.

When you try it for the first time, you will find that not only do you make mistakes, but that even when you do it right, it's clumsy, slow, and unnatural. But practice will surely improve your results.

This manipulation will work for any reasonable number of cards you want to keep on top of the deck. All you need to do is make sure that the first pack of cards you slide off with your left thumb is large enough to include all the cards you want to keep at the top of the deck. We will use this technique in the future.

second method

Suppose the selected card, such as the Ace of Spades, is at the bottom of the deck and you want it to remain there during the shuffle. Holding the cards in your left hand, firmly squeeze the bottom card with your fingers. Continue as in a normal shuffle, but keep the fingers of your left hand on the bottom card when removing with your right hand. When the thumb pushes the top few cards from the deck, they will land on the card being held, i.e. the Ace of Spades. Continue shuffling as usual and your ace will be where you want it to be - at the bottom of the deck.

Another way is to move the ace of spades up and then down again by shuffling (see below).

A third method

Let's say you would like the king of diamonds at the top of the deck to move down.

It's very simple. Hold the deck in your left hand as in a normal shuffle. Start shuffling by transferring just one card from the top of the deck to your left hand. In other words, your first bottom draw consists of fifty-one cards. Continue shuffling as usual and the king of diamonds will be at the bottom of the deck.

The fourth way

It's just as easy to move the bottom card up. All you need to do is perform a normal shuffle, but make sure that the last "pack" of cards, moved by the thumb of the left hand to the left hand, consists of only one card. Keep this in mind, as it is very easy to take the last two or three cards at once, and if you do this and do not correct the mistake, the trick will fail. So keep going until you are sure that there is only one card in your right hand - and of course, the one you have chosen.

Fifth way

Sometimes at the top of the deck you will have a card chosen by someone in the audience, and you will need to control its path. This is achieved by taking a quick look at the bottom card and using it as a marker for the featured card. Holding the cards in your left hand, push the top card and move all the other cards up, thereby moving the top card down so that it is under the marker card. Without any hesitation, nudge about ten cards with your left thumb and continue shuffling as usual, being careful not to separate the bottom two cards, which will end up close to the top of the deck.

Repeat the normal shuffle, taking enough cards from the top of the deck so that the selected card and the marker card remain together - now they will approach the bottom of the deck. Now put the deck on the table and remove about a third of the cards from the top of the deck. Complete the removal - and the selected card will be under the marker card somewhere near the middle of the deck.

Sixth way

One card is at the top of the deck, the other is at the bottom, you want them to either swap places or keep their position.

You will need to combine the third and fourth false shuffle options.

With the cards in your left hand ready for shuffling, start shuffling by moving only one card from the top of the deck with your left thumb while removing fifty-one cards at a time. Continue shuffling as usual until there are only two or three cards in your right hand. Shuffle them all at once. It is important that the last pile (like the first) consists of only one card. Now the card that was at the bottom of the deck will be at the top, and the one that was at the top will be at the bottom.

If you want the cards to return to their original position, simply repeat the above steps.

Seventh way

Sometimes you will need to keep the group of cards at the bottom of the deck in place.

Shuffle as usual, but make sure that the last pile carried by the right hand contains more cards than you need, like five. As you move the pile to your left hand, make sure that it does not immediately fall on the back of cards already in your hand, but use your left thumb to keep them apart. This pile remains in the left hand, falling into the palm as the remainder is transferred from the right hand, pile by pile. As a result, the cards from the bottom of the deck are again at the bottom.

Sliding is a very useful way to keep the bottom card of the deck down while it appears to the spectators that you are dealing it to the table or handing it to them.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Liquid crystal fabric changes shape when heated 06.11.2023

Engineers from the USA have presented a new way to create fabric that can change its shape under the influence of heat. They combined conventional textile fibers with liquid crystals embedded in a polymer to create a fabric that shrinks at temperatures ranging from 26 to 66 degrees Celsius. This innovative fabric can be used to create comfortable clothing and smart materials.

Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology produced liquid crystal fibers on standard weaving looms and used them to sew a suit for one of the developers' dogs. A battery on the suit heats it up, causing the fabric to shrink, turning it into a compression vest typically used to sedate animals.

Scientists have also created a women's sports top that shrinks as body temperature rises during exercise, providing comfort during exercise. After cooling, the fabric returns to its original position. Engineers hope that this innovative fabric will find use not only in clothing, but also in smart curtains or window coverings.
