The techniques in poker card shuffling are not just for chronic gamblers but also for those who just want fun from the game and some amusement from its unique mathematics. If in a game we play the dealer, and we want to deal the top cards to ourselves, how do we do this? Simple - with two poker card shuffling.

Two perfect poker card shuffling process is when we cut the pack of cards almost precisely in half then we drop the cards one after another from one side and then from the other. This is until we have done so with the whole pack. Of course, we don't do this in a poker game with live bets. This poker card shuffling is for fun plays only. After we shuffle perfectly, we'll find the top cards we want which, were formerly on the deck top, appearing every time we pull out a second card. And after two perfect poker card shufflings, the top cards would emerge each fourth card we pull out.

The so-called in-shuffles can also work magically here. This poker card shuffling works this way: cut the cards and choose the top half that we hold with our right hand. Then, from the right side, we drop the cards one by one so the top cards we want will emerge the second card, and then the fourth card, and so on.

In this way the player to our left will get the royal flush.

If we want to move the A any place else, we simply write the place we want it moved to. Say, we want it on the 12th level, we write 12 in binary forms with just 0s and 1s. Hence, we have 1100. In-shuffles get 1 shuffle and out-shuffles zero or none.
