===52 pickup===
{{main|52 pickup}}
A person may throw a deck of cards into the air or across a surface, and then pick up the cards in random order, assembled with the cards facing the same direction. If specific cards are observed too closely as they are picked up, an additional 52 pickup or an additional shuffling method may be needed for sufficient randomization. This method is useful for beginners, but the shuffle requires a large clean surface for spreading out the cards, and it may take more time than is desired.  

'A game of 52 pickup' is also the name of a child's prank, where one child asks a 'friend' if they want to play 52 pickup.  They then throw the cards into the air, and demand the other child 'pick them up'.
