The Hindu Shuffle is very classic in the realm of card handling. And yet, most audiences never notice anything out of the ordinary when this is used as part of other tricks. This shuffle can be combined with a “key card” trick since that method uses the bottom card to track the location of the spectator’s chosen card.

Pro Tip: You can even create the illusion that the entire deck is shown to be all the same card. It’s an impressive effect in the right context. For example: If the Ace of Hearts is on the bottom, as you pull off cards from the top during the shuffle, continually flash that bottom card. If this is done carefully, your audience will think that the entire deck is only the Ace of Hearts. That move can be added to prediction card tricks as well.
