Overhand Shuffle ( poker )

 

A form of shuffling performed by holding the cards above the table (as opposed to the "standard" method of shuffling in which the cards remain on the table) and sliding, dropping, or tossing cards from the top of the deck held in one hand into the other hand, until all the cards are transferred to the other hand. This form of shuffling is not permitted in card rooms, but is sometimes seen in private or home games, particularly by beginners.
