The giveaway signal here is the unusual sound of the shuffle caused by having to run off so many cards singly. A second clue is the fact that this shuffling sound is interrupted slightly at regular rhythmic intervals each time another bottom card is pulled down. The smart card player keeps his ears open as well as his eyes.
Following is the most commonly used method of stacking cards. It is called the "pickup stack" and is used by professional, semiprofessional and amateur cheats alike. It requires no special manipulative skill and it rarely fails. Its cleverness lies in its simplicity. Suppose you are a cheater in a five-handed Stud Online Hold'em Poker game. The next deal is yours, and two hands were exposed in the hand just completed. In each hand you spot one card you'd like to get for yourself the next time around. Let's say these are two aces.
