So cards 1 and 4 are travelling exactly the same distance to reach the stack. Obviously the stack, the neutral point, takes place right in the middle. So they'll end up here (2 and 3 could be reversed but ignore them). If it starts like this.Īnd we'll say card 1 is going to end up in card 4's position, and card 4 is going to end up in card 3's position. We'll keep it at one shuffle for simplicity. I could be wrong but if so I've been extremely lucky, because I nail it pretty much every time on the slower shuffles now. At least that is how I've always observed it. At most it would lead to the same 50-50 chance as in no matter how you look at it if card 1 and 3 would swap places they would move at the same speed because neutral state would be between them (given none of them is top card) But they don't move at a speed relative to how quickly they'll reach the shuffle, it is based on where they will end up. What you are saying is that a cards speed gathering and dispersing would lead to position knowledge is more unreliable than actually remembering card sequence. (same is applied when they gather initially) Originally posted by Anthary:That does not seem to matter in reality as all cards gather in a neutral state with is between 2nd and 3rd card and after the dispersion the left most and right most will be at an increased speed due to them being farther from the center.

High (the whole thing can be faster or slower depending on encounter difficulty) as well as there being multiple shuffles then I often do just have to guess, because I'm not quick enough to keep up. If the base shuffle speed of the cards is It isn't easy, especially if there are multiple shuffles where you need to think about the speed of the card you're following changing multiple times. So you need to observe that, and try to work out where it will end up based on that info. Originally posted by TheSHEEEP:Or do you mean that a card travelling INTO the stack will already be faster if it "knows" that it will end up further away from its initial position? Yeah exactly, the card is already moving slower or faster depending on where it will end up before it even enters the stack in the middle of the shuffle. But you can make it easier with equipment and blessings. Obviously the faster the shuffle and the more shuffles there are, the harder it is to keep track. You can track any card throughout the entire gambit because of this, with no need to estimate. The faster a card is moving relative to the other cards the further it will end up from it's starting position. You can't see the cards when they overlap but you can see how quickly they are all moving. With some training, you will be able to do a 50-50 estimate (did your card go more to the back of the stack, or more to the front?), but that's about it.īut some cards like the pickpocket one are simply terrible beyond redemption.īut some cards like the pickpocket one are simply terrible beyond redemption. Unfortunately, humans are not chameleons that can track different things moving into different directions at the same time ) But on the screen, it becomes 2D, so there is no chance to keep your eye on the card - except if it happens to be the top card, of course.Īnd when they split up again, you have four cards moving at the same time. If it was actual 3D and the perspective was different, then yes. At this point, it is physically impossible to see any other card. Once the cards "merge", only one card is visible, the front one. Go to a very easy 1 shuffle card gambit (like the first The Devil Appolyon gambit) with the ring that slows the shuffle, and you'll be able to follow any card easily No, you can not. But you can't really tell which cards went in what direction.unless I'm missing something, which I probably am. And when cards seperate from the center, you can only see which of each set of two is on top and which is on bottom. Originally posted by Billy Mays:I realized that, but what I mean is.when 4 cards are stacked on top of eachother, you can't see any sort of order that they're in.
