The
Hindu shuffle is useful to force the bottom card. While you are
performing the Hindu Shuffle, the spectator says stop, show him the
bottom card in your right hand which is the initial bottom card of
the entire deck. You give the feeling that the spectator has chosen a
card randomly but in fact you have forced it. There are many tricks
which can be performed forcing a card; in fact this is the magician's
cornerstone to master the base of magic tricks.
