The perfect shuffle is difficult to perform so we are going touse a variation of the perfect shuffle, the unshuffle.
The unshuffle is performed by splitting the deck into two pilesone card at a time and then placing on the of the piles on topof the other one.

The perfect shuffle.
The following video is an shows how to perform the perfectshuffle. Performing 8 perfect shuffles results in the deckreturning to its original order. Perfect Shuffle
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFjgPGPQ0NA)
Label the cards from 0 to 51. Then the position of card aftera perfect shuffle is
2 mod 51 if 0 ≤ ≤ 5051 if = 51 .

Modular Arithmetic
What is 2 mod 51?
Divide 2 by 51 and record the remainder.
For example suppose = 27.
Then 2 = 54 = 51× 1+ 3,
so 54 mod 51 ≡ 3 mod 51.

The perfect shuffle
After one perfect shuffle, card is at position 2 mod 51.
After two perfect shuffles 2(2) mod 51 ≡ 22 mod 51.
After three perfect shuffles 2(22) mod 51 ≡ 23 mod 51.
After 8 perfect shuffles, card is at position
28 mod 51 ≡ 256 mod 51.
Since 256 = 51× 5+ 1, 256 mod 51 ≡ 1 mod 51.
So 28 mod 51 ≡ mod 51.
So all the cards are in the same position that they started in.

Trick 5
Rules The initial flipping of the pairs of cards is all that isneeded to do this trick.
1 If neither card is a heart then place the cards face to face.2 If both cards are hearts then place the cards back to back.3 If there is one heart then both cards are placed faceup,
but the heart always goes on top.
