'In my last year of school I spent a solid day of my holidays learning how to shuffle cards properly. Prior to this, my technique fluctuated between the classic “grab chunks of the deck and smush them in between other chunks of the deck,” and the surprisingly effective, yet ungainly “fling them all on the table, move them all around, then reassemble”. Now, when I shuffle cards, I divide them in to two stacks and neatly fan them together, creating a pleasant rippling noise as the two piles elegantly become one. Everyone is appropriately impressed (read: not impressed at all) and then expects me to be good at poker. I’m not.' (Introduction)
