Three-Card Stock

Any game in which cards are dealt singly. Three desired cards on top. Under-cut about half deck, in-jog top card, run two less than twice the number of players, out-jog and shuffle off. Under-cut to out-jog, forming break at in-jog; run one less than number players, throw to break, run one, in-jog running one less than twice number of players, out-jog and shuffle off. Under-cut to in-jog and throw on top. Under-cut to out-jog, run one less than number of players and throw balance on top. This gives the dealer the three desired cards in three rounds.

In the second shuffle of this stock where directed to "in-jog running one less than number players," the in-jog card is counted in the run. "Under-cut to in-jog and throw on top" is to make a simple cut of the deck below the in-jog card.
