how do these cards work in an automatic shuffler?

I haven't had much success with card shufflers. I don't think the problem is the cards, I think it's the shufflers. The manual shuffler only worked satisfactorily a few of times. I now have a battery operated shuffler which is much better but we usually end up shuffling by hand. The cards themselves are great.

Our experience with our automatic shuffler and the Bicycle Cards has been satisfactory.

Install the batteries, place the decks on both sides in the black section, press the lever, and they will be automatically shuffled through the middle. The clear plastic lever on the side also holds the cards as they come down after being shuffled, and you can lift them out using that. Hope this answer is clear enough! I gave this to my parents and the play "Hand and Foot" all the time using 6 decks, works like a charm!

It easily and quickly shuffled one deck. The cards that I use are either newer decks or plastic backs. I have had problems with older decks that are bent or torn.

It does not do the "perfect shuffle" as one side always seems to be left with 2 to 4 cards to be shuffled. This is due to the location of the one side's driving gear, as it is not necessarily in sync with the other side's driving gear position. If you are looking for the "perfect shuffle", you would probably have to spend a lot more money for a shuffling card device to meet your criteria. I would still recommend this device as it suits my purpose for shuffling multiple card decks at a reasonable price. Hope this provides some insight to your question.

In theory they should work--but they are a tight fit no matter what. For Magic cards they fit but when they are brand new they may warp the card a little from the snug fit. When I get a new pack I bend them back and forth a few times till they are a little worked in. That way they don't warp the cards any.

Yes, I've found it can shuffle as few as one deck and as many as 7. Very easy and intuitive to use!

The shufflers is included and works very well. It requires 4 "C" batteries.

It has geared 'grab wheels' on both sides, basically throwing cards into the central hopper. It's entirely an electromechanical device. No 'selection' involved.

Place the handle in the appropriate place. Put equal number of cards on either side of the shuffler. Turn the handle slowly at first and then moderately fast. I find that sometimes if I turn the handle slightly in the opposite direction first, it turns more smoothly.

it will shuffle UP to 6 decks. You can easily do any number of decks up to 6...and it is pretty darn fast and efficient

I feel like the cards get jumbled around a bit if they're not in a box, but it does still work. There are six compartments inside. The cards won't leave the compartment you place them in. So, if you're not too worried about the condition of the cards, it will work. Placing them in boxes inside the compartments just helps to keep them organized better and in better shape. I hope this answers your question.

It will shuffle 2 decks into 1 deck ( does not keep each deck separate once shuffled ) If you only want to shuffle one deck you need to put half on each side. And then it will mix that back into one deck.

It is a good shuffler. I found if you keep the cards evenly divided, then you shouldn't have a lot of problems.

I use it to shuffle six decks while playing Hand & Foot. Everyone in our club uses them. Excellent shuffler!

I have never used it on any kind of card except standard size. I can tell you it works beautifully and I would never buy another automatic shuffler. I have purchased two already and in a matter of months they broke.

Hi, the ones I bought are the Jumbo (Text) Sized ones, I would guess the same physical size as Standard cards. These ones are plastic or resin coated and not paper card stock so the edges will not get easily frayed. The are slippery which can be good and bad. To answer your main question, I have a gouty arthritis in one hand but I can shuffle the cards as long as I use the dorky what I learned which was to place half the cards on the edge of the others and pressing and wiggling a bit to get them to alternate more or less. I guess they are more bendable than most thicker plastic cards than I could imagine. I never learned to properly flick the corners to shuffle. And with my arthritis now I would not even try -- I'd have these or any cards all over the floor. I've got to tell you I don't get around to playing cards much these days with just my wife and me. We have a lot or decks or cards, porker chips, dice, and the like but just don't play games much. It seems most of our close friend would rather talk, listen to music, and watch TV. When I was a kid and young adult my parents and I played many card games with some (at the time) elderly neighbors who were avid card players. I think cards do come in different thicknesses and therefore bend-ability but I have no idea how to know what is what. I feel for your arthritis, I now have trouble using my DSLR camera because of it, for one.
