Riffle Stacking Practice

I haven't posted anything for a while. Here is something I have been working on and off for many months now. I am finally getting close to where I want to be; I hope to present the complete routine (with pattern) soon. Any feedback is appreciated.

The first two deals are part of Darwin Ortiz's routine Fast Shuffle. The last phase where all the aces are stacked in just one shuffle is an idea of Andrew Wimhurst (called Faster Shuffle). Darwin also had a handling to stack the aces in one shuffle but you had to deal 5 cards to yourself. The Wimhurst handling looks cleaner IMO.

@CrdShk Thanks, Rob. That's quite a compliment coming from you. The advise you gave me about 7 months ago when I showed you my handling of the ten handed riffle stack helped me a lot. I really have tried not to move my thumbs up and down during the riffling action.

@BnibroC69 Thanks, Corbin. Finally a gambling routine with real gambling sleights haha.

You are so smooth and natural.

Those cards looked real nice too.

@MrPolterguy Thanks Steve. I have been wanting to present this for a while.

...just so no one misunderstands, I think you are amazing at sleight of hand, and performing. I would pay to watch you perform, that's how good I think you are.

@AntonioZMagic Thanks, Antonio. It will hopefully happen in a few more weeks. I am also hoping to add another phase. I really would like to present all the riffle stacking phases including the ten handed riffle stack. However, I am still practicing in the latter.

@Tegib1 Thanks. You know about 3 months ago I saw your two shuffle stack video and it made me want to practice even more.

@TheBradTobin Thanks, Brad. This one took me quite a while. I remember when I first saw Darwin's explanation for the two shuffle stack; I thought to myself "F*ck this is going to take me years!". Fortunately, it only took me about one year. I am very happy because I thought that I would never be able to do it.

@BlackMagicCurse Thanks. Part of it is Darwin's. Now, there is a description on the video that explains credits.
