Short Stack | Chris Annable - (Download) Bloom The envelope is held closeShort Stack by Chris Annable is a card stacking technique, disguised as an overhand shuffle. The method is simple, logical, requires no complicated math and there is no need to "feel count" packets of cards. Once stacked, the cards are legitimately dealt from the top not from the bottom or 2nd position of the deck. You can stack any hand, of any number of cards to yourself, another player, or even community cards in games like Texas Hold'Em Poker.
