Butterfingers?

I am an avid card player, but every time I play anything from double solitaire to Uno I find myself having to ask one of the other players to shuffle for me. My most valiant attempts always seem to turn the game into 52-card pick-up. When it happens that I am in a group of people which does not include a natural-born card dealer, then we're all in trouble.

That's not a problem, however, when I go to my grandma's house. Because of this magical little machine she has, all I have to do is put half the deck on one platform, half on the other, push the button...and presto, my cards are shuffled in a nice neat pile. I doubt if I'll ever get the hang of shuffling -- I've had perhaps fifteen years' practice and haven't gotten it right yet -- but if I can get my hands on one of these then I'll be all set.

Of course, if you're one of those people who likes to show off your ability as a casino-worthy card shark, this sort of device is extraneous, maybe even insulting. But if you're all thumbs like me, it'll make every card game a little bit less intimidating.
