The necessary preparation for the cull shuffle is to note at what particular number the first of the desired cards will stand from the top when thrown on the deck, and at what number the next will stand from the first, and so on for as many cards as are to be culled. For instance, if there are three desired cards, the first the eighth from the top, the next the fourth from that, and the next the sixth card further down, their order is fixed in the mind as eight, four, six. The lowest desired card is eighteenth card from the top of the deck, but the count is made from one desired card to the other.

If the desired cards were together, the first one the eighth from the top, and the others the next two cards, the count would stand eight, one, one. The calculation of the positions the cards will take when thrown on the deck is made before the dealer gathers them up to shuffle, or. as he is doing so. It is a very simple matter to note the order in which two or three desirable cards lie, or, for that matter, five or six.
