Video proof of why a rotating dealer adds more integrity to the game ...AND that any dealer who is also playing (dedicated dealer or not) should never cut the cards for themselves.

As insanely wrong and seriously dangerous that is it sure is cool to watch. I have such bad hands I can barely shuffle cheap stiff plastic coated cards.

Thanks for the post.

That video is amazing. I love slight-of-hand magic but certainly not from a poker player.  lol
This guy is good and clearly shows that someone at a home game would never, ever know it was happening before their own eyes.  If you have someone entering your game dressed from head to toe in all black, with only his hands showing, let that be your first clue he shouldn't be dealing.

I bought The Professional Poker Dealers Handbook in the beginning of the summer and now after I got back from vacation I was happy to see the How To Shuffle videos here. But while looking at them I saw that the mechanics shown was very different from the ones in the PPDH, mainly the dealer is covering the cards very much with his hands which makes manipulation easy.

Look for example when he squares the deck after each shuffle. In the book it says you put your thumbs on the long side of the deck and middle fingers on the far corner of the short sides, and square the deck by "pinching". This makes it virtually impossible to for example use your little finger to keep a gap in the deck (a common manipulation).

Even before I bought the book I tried hard to use mainly my finger tips to handle the deck (unless otherwise needed) just becuse I know some false shuffles and other manipulations and know how easily they can be done.
