The Dealer's Challenge: How fast can you deal through a deck?

[Josh Burch]

Steven Lafitte asked me how quickly I could deal through a deck of cards. It sounded like a good challenge so I tried it out and I'd like to challenge you guys as well. Post a video or your times.

The rules are as follows:
-You have to have 52 cards in the deck
-You have to deal the cards one at a time
-It has to be a two handed deal

Let's see how fast your ninja skills are!

Here's a link to the timer I used: http://www.cubetimer.com/

Hey that's awesome Josh!

16.95 seconds is my fastest time, the last 15 or so cards in the deck is where it gets tough!

My eventual goal is to get this down to 15 seconds, need to work on my dealing technique a bit however before I'll be able to even get close to that.

Postscript: Earlier today I was seeing how fast it would take me to put a deck of cards (after it had been shuffled and cut 6 times) into Si Stebbins configuration. My fastest time has been 3 minutes and 40 seconds.

I'll have to post a video sometime!
