Does shuffling cards churn out numbers which are closer to randomness.

Can shuffling cards churn out truly random numbers.

If so is there a process for a pack of 52 cards (without using
shuffling machine)

How about with 2 or more packs? (obviuosly the limitation here is the
size of the pack and the hands which hold them).

How would I break them to shuffle and then reshuffle etc.

Any processes to give truly random numbers?

Radiactive decay is alleged to come close.- Hide quoted text -

Sorry perhaps I did not make myself clear.

Any card shuffling algorithmns to ensure as close as possible to
random outcomes?


But thanks for the info anyway
