The Si Stebbins Card Control System

Si Stebbins System "Rules"

Si Stebbins System Rule 1 – “Shuffling”

You can cut a deck in Si Stebbins order as many times as you like, as long as you perform complete cuts. You may even perform a series of complete cuts, one after another to give the impression that the cards are being "shuffled." However, never riffle or mix cards together. A person may take as many as they like from one side and place them on the other. As long as you do not take cards from the center of the pack, but keep shifting cards from one side to the other, it will not affect the system.

Si Stebbins System Rule 2 – “Numerical Value”

Every card has a numerical value, viz.: Ace, 1; then 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 in their order;
Jack, 11; Queen, 12; and King, 13.

Si Stebbins System Rule 3 – “Position”

Every card is three numbers apart, as will be seen by a careful study of the system, viz.: 6-9-Queen (12)-2-5-8-Jack(11), etc.

Si Stebbins System Rule 4 – “Position as to Suits”

Every card of the same denomination is thirteen cards apart and runs in the same order of suits as in the system, viz.: Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs.
