Local · reshuffled every draw

One card, drawn from a full fifty-two card deck, each equally likely. Useful for a magic routine, a card-based exercise or a game where the deck has gone missing.

How to draw a card

1 Press the button. A card appears from a freshly shuffled deck.

2 Draw again for a new card — the deck is reshuffled each time.

3 Raise the count to draw several at once, without repeats.

Each draw reshuffles, so the same card can come up on consecutive draws — that is what "each card equally likely" means, and it surprises people who expect the deck to be depleted as it would be at a table. Within a single draw of several cards there are no repeats, because those come off one shuffled deck. If you want the depleting behaviour across many draws, ask for all the cards you need at once instead.
