A beautiful creative routine! I have added the little touch of casually spreading the cards face up after the Klondike Shuffle and pointing out how "mixed up the cards are, with suits, values, and colors intermingled, and understandably so, after all of that shuffling." It's a nice added convincer, which I believe strengthens n already very strong effect. One other note: I like to describe the two pile dealing procedure as the "two pile shuffle," pointing out that it really does further mix up and randomize the cards.
I need to make a revision to my previous comment as far as spreading the cards face up to show the spectator(s) how mixed up they are. In practicing the routine, after quite a few trials, I have found that sometimes the cards actually don't end up looking well-mixed, even after all the shuffling. I don't want to mislead anyone, so please disregard that part of my comment. It is still a phenomenal routine even without showing the cards face up.prior to the ending. Due to the Charlier Shuffle (which I never refer to by name when performing it), the "Left-Right" (or "2-Pile") Shuffle, the Faro Shuffle, and the Klondike Shuffle (which I like to refer to as the "Top-Bottom" Shuffle"), plus letting them cut a couple times during the routine, they are sure to be more than convinced that the cards are hopelessly mixed up and randomized.
Very cool! Keep them coming!
Very nice one, thx.
