My first LWB ever said shuffle three times, cut into three piles and stack them bottom, middle, top - and I've done that ever since for about 95% of all my readings.
How do you shuffle? Any other tarot quirks?

I've only ever overhand, "go fish" pool, or do some variant of the divide into stacks and overhand shuffle. .... Small hands, most average 10yr olds and I have same size hands so standard playing card deck I can riffle, otherwise its overhand.

I do the table shuffle, but not quite as good at it as this guy.

I followed his instructions but I can't get the corners to mesh, so the two halves won't slide together. I think I'll pass.

Have you ever been to the poker table at a casino? It's the same shuffle. I have to bend the corners a little, but you get better with practice....don't give up too easily because it is quick, and thorough....and gets easier. Also, it is easier with a deck that's broken in. If I can do it, you can too.

That's what I do with every deck I have, including pocket decks. I never knew the name; I always thought of it as a corner-first or angled riffle.
I have very small hands. With really thick and stiff decks (Golden Tarot, I'm lookin' at you), the cards on the bottom on one side clump because with a full half-deck, I can't get the slight bend necessary for an even shuffle.
Cutting a few times before I shuffle again helps, but sometimes I separate the deck into two piles, shuffle each half, then put each half into two piles and shuffle the top of one pile and bottom of another -- whatever seems to randomize them most. With the smaller piles of cards, my table shuffle is pretty good.

I've decided that Griz's method of dealing into several piles does exactly what I want and doesn't cause me any feelings of inadequacy 
I'll remain jealous of those who can riffle like a pro, but I'll live.

I have been using Grizabella's method too....I use to spend ALOT of time just shuffling...well I still do...it relaxes me... when I use a new deck I use her method of separating and then shuffling..it really does the trick.
