"Erik is a fantastic teacher. This is one of the best resources for learning a one-handed shuffle (and a great routine to go with it!)." -Chris Beason

"This is a routine that you can tell has been worked in the trenches for years. Erik's one handed poker deal is fun, fancy, and flippin' awesome!" - Josh Janousky


Note from Erik regarding hand size:

Many people shy away from the one handed shuffle because they think their hand is too small. I won't lie and say that doing it with small hands is exactly the same as with large hands, but with practice, the move is definitely still possible! My Pinky is 2 and 3/8th (60 mm) from base to tip, and my thumb is about the same. A quick test to see if you are ready is to place two card boxes side by side on a table. If you can stretch your fingers just enough to pick up both, you can definitely do the move. If it's close, you can likely build your way up to it.
