Trivia? Well ok, I guess. John, you have how much time on your hands? (j/k)=-)

Yes I can, I was simply making a point to go along in the thread. Generally I will normally shuffle a total of 16 chips (two stacks of 8), but I ahve gone as high as two stacks of 10 (not exactly perfect with that many, though). I have no real inclination to bother with more and you don't see many people doing too much more than that, but I know they are out there.
I like to spend a little time learning other tricks too.

i usually shuffle about 10-12 stacks of chips or i shuffle 3 stacks of 5, but its not consistant.

Actually this can also be demonstrated on a much smaller scale with poker chips. How many of us sit there at the table riffling chips? I know I do.
Start with two piles of chips, four chips per pile, each pile a different color. Now riffle them together correctly so that the chips from the two piles alternate as they come together. Now take the top half down again and repeat. After a few passes, you will find yourself exactly how you started out (two piles, four chips per pile, each pile one of the two colors).
Pretty cool.

Okay, that's a cool trick! As if I can do even one perfect shuffle....

Yes - eight perfect shuffles as described above will arrange the cards in exactly the same order they were as when you started.

If you shuffle the deck 8 times you're basically saying that the cards make a full journey around?

Hmmm... can you give me a precise definition of "eight times the cards will be arranged in the same order as they were when one started"? Now that I think about it, I'm not sure precisely what you mean!

Seems like a nice candidate for a computer simulation! Hmmm.....

If one were to take a standard 52-card deck and do a perfect shuffle - 26 cards in either hand, one card from each hand at a time, top and bottom cards remaining the same - eight times the cards will be arranged in the same order as they were when one started.
