ABSTRACT:
A simple aid to shuffling is incorporated into the structure of playing cards with no significant loss in quality of appearance or feel. A slightly raised area or pattern of such areas is provided on one side of each card in a deck to act as a fulcrum between cards. The deck is then "cut" or divided into two substantially equal parts, and the two parts of the deck are each held firmly at one edge. Each card becomes a lever and acting on the fulcrum areas causes the cards to spread apart at the opposite edges so that the parts of the deck can easily be slid into each other or interleaved, with cards from one part passing between cards in the other. While the deck is thus shuffled as effectively but more easily and with less card abuse than when more vigorous methods are used, the structure of the cards does not prevent the use of the other methods when they are preferred.
