“I ain't the world's best writer nor the world's best speller
But when I believe in something I'm the loudest yeller”

Header alt-text: Two views of a pair of desembodied hands performing a Riffle Shuffle In The Air, from the book Royal Road to Card Magic by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braué, executed as a line drawing. The hands flex the cards dramatically, preparing to release them. On the visible face of one half of the deck is a three of clubs.
