The percentage of general public who can do one perfect shuffle, much less
several in a row, is very small. There are, however, many experts who have
mastered the art of doing perfect shuffles. Among these experts are
magicians who use this ability for card tricks. Card sharks have also
mastered this art, and therefore you should be suspicious of anyone who
makes a habit of shuffling a deck exactly eight times.
