Oh yea - I have played a LOT of solitaire this year. So a card shuffling machine seemed like a good idea... and it was! In this video i show how these cheap little machines work, and take a look inside at the mechanism. Enjoy!

    Suit? Did you mean cards are broken into SUITS?

    I know this is an older video, but question? Did that shuffler work correctly when you put it back together? From what I saw the two motors were spinning the same direction, so one side would be correct and push the cards to the center, but the other side would be throwing the cards away from the unit!!! Maybe it needed to be turned 180 degrees so it fed the cards to the center? Maybe the spinning at the end was a "trick of the video" that made it appear to be spinning incorrectly (I guess like bicycle wheels appear to be going the opposite way!!!). Great video Fran.

    It's shocking to me that not everyone has a deck or 10 of cards sitting in a drawer waiting for game night. Or maybe it's a northern thing given that you did mispronounce suit. There's no 'e' on the end, so pronouncing it sweet is wrong.

    I think by the time you get a belt that would work, and 2 shafts & gears to connect the sides, then you'd probably need another block or extrusion to support the ends of that shaft because it can't go through the center because that's where the cards collect, it'd have to go behind the back, I think once you add all that you've outweighed the cost of another motor. Then also there's additional complexity in assembly and increased fail points, etc. Because you'd need the 2nd block either way, you'd just not need the motor.

    As for the On / Off button, Here in Canada the French don't really have a word for On / Off when it comes to a switch. I have heard many French people say please open or close the light when translating from French to English.. Hope that helps
