Editing Shuffling (section)

===Mexican spiral===
The Mexican spiral shuffle is performed by cyclic actions of moving the top card onto the table, then the new top card under the deck, the next onto the table, next under the deck, and so on until the last card is dealt onto the table. It takes quite a long time, compared with riffle or overhand shuffles, but allows other players to fully control cards which are on the table. The Mexican spiral shuffle was popular at the end of the 19th century in some areas of [[Mexico]] as a protection from gamblers and con men arriving from the United States.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}
