- Hmmm, I once met a card mechanic who said he could do up to 3 or 4 decks,
- and let me shuffle a single deck which he inspected about 15-20 seconds
- before proceeding to do some additional riffles and then name the cards
- as he turned them over. As interesting as these tidbits are though, I
- think it's time for this thread to end (at least in sci.crypt that is).
