The Klondike shuffle

        This shuffle consists in dealing the top and bottom card at the same time.

       Slide the bottom and top cards off the deck together as in photo 1, and drop them on the deck of cards previously dealt until no cards are left.   Deal the top and botton card at the same time

This shuffle is particularly useful to perform tricks with arranged stacks of cards. For example, starting from the order as shown in photo 2, and performing a Klondike shuffle, all the cards will be organized by pair of same color and same value.

The Klondike Shuffle is a valuable tool in the magician's arsenal and is very easy to master.

If you want to learn more about tricks about rosary deck and arranged stack of cards, I recommend you to read the book of Juan Tamariz "Mnemonica"; he is one of the most recognized magicians in the world and to my knowledge he has delved deeper into the magic of an arranged stack than any other magician.
