About how many shuffles does it take to make a deck of cards random? Seven.

Who is Helder?
I don't know, but he is entertaining and good at doing...not tricks.

Individual vs. Crowd, the only one I watched, is the McDonald aces. He should give credit where credit is due.

Thank you for the McDonald search word, the trick was entirely lost on me as someone with a non-visual memory. It made me realize how much I need card tricks spelled out for me. "Oh, those were aces at the beginning, and then they weren't, and then they were? I had no idea"
On re-watching, yes, wow. Crazy good technique.

Oh man, I love this. The style of the presentation reminds me of the iOS game DEVICE 6 that came out recently. That there's only 6 vids from a year ago makes me sad.

The background music made me think I was playing a Professor Layton game.

Reminds me of the single-handed, watch-me-do-it slow magic of Rene Levand.
