    Locating cards for card cheating

    Another technique you can look into is controlling cards at the end of a hand. When you're gathering cards into a pile at the end of a hand, you can naturally maneuver the cards to top or bottom of the pile, then you can use other stacking techniques from there to set up for the deal.
