 Chapter V: Culling and Stacking -- The Invisible Way   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
When stacking for gin rummy or any two-handed game, simply continue to slip off the top and bottom cards together into the left hand, as many times as the number of cards to be stacked in your hand.
For example, the riffle stack is especially convenient for adding the third or the fourth-of-a-kind card to a pair or three of a kind already culled and stacked from the discards.
Still, the riffle stack alone is often ideal for five-card stud, seven-card stud, and hold'em since you can cull and stack a high pair for yourself while knowing everyone's hole card (or cards) in fifteen seconds or less.

 Culling and Stacking poker
Stacking the deck by culling the discards is still easiest method for culling and stacking a deck.
At this point, the desired culled card is now the sixth card in the stack and ready to be dealt to the dealer himself.
The one drawback in using the overhand stack method is moving the stacked cards off the top of the deck and then promptly sliding them right back in place.

 Chapter III: The Second Move -- Stacking Four of a Kind   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
After tossing the four rearranged cards on his stacked discard pile, he still needs two more cards on top to complete his stack; their values do not matter as long as he knows them.
Quickly and smoothly, while straightening the sides of the deck and squaring the cards from their vertical angles to a horizontal position, he culls aces or kings (or unpaired low cards for lowball); he passes them to the top or bottom of the deck as shown in Figures 1 1 and 12.
While passing cards to the top (or bottom), use your fingers to alternate the passing movements with brief squaring motions on the sides of the deck.

Some stacking techniques are so difficult that only a professional who finds it financially worth his while to put in eight to ten hours of practice a day would be capable of employing.
The good points about this technique are that cards aren't easily exposed to the other players during the shuffle (as long as the corners aren't lifted too high) and the cards stay relatively flat with practically no "wave" effect.
The stacked cards are at the bottom of "c".

Pick up either half-deck and put the five cards on it one at a time, placing them so that the first, third (the selected card), and fourth cards project about an inch beyond one end of the deck, and the second and fourth cards project about an inch beyond the other end.
Continue with the other three cards in her pile so that the third card sticks out an inch at one end, the fourth card sticking out a half-inch at the other end, and so on.
Now you should have five cards with his card in the middle (hopefully he won't catch on to the fact that it's obvious it's the middle card.

Cards are culled or stacked to change their natural sequence.
Cards are purposely soiled, smudged, nicked, marred, or marked for future identification.
By remembering fourteen cards[ 3 ] and by positioning them in an unchanged order on top of the deck through blind shuffles, false riffles, and false cuts, the dealer would know everyone's hole cards -- thus, he would know everyone's exact hand right up to the seventh and final card.

Cards may be stacked in two main ways: as they are being picked up, or while they are being shuffled.
This keeps the cards for each player's hand together so that the hand may be reconstructed later should there be a dispute be-tween the player and dealer.

 Stacking Four of A Kind
Essentially, the cheater utilizes the discard to then stack a deck which is then combined with a false riffle (shuffle) or two as well as a false cut.
He now knows the hole cards of each of his opponents because they will be dealt those cards between the two pair that was so effectively gathered up.
Even when cards are tossed to the dealer face down, if he is already out of the game having folded early (a common stunt to ensure the opportunity to stack the deck), the dealer after folding may often glance at discards feigning curiosity and do so without an objection from the other players.

 Bryan Berg | In the Spotlight | Area of Design
Building a massive house of cards is very much like painting a picture or playing a musical instrument...it all comes out of a need for expression.
When I stack cards something happens however...I suddenly have complete control and awareness of my actions, and have a logical and concise way to execute the structure at hand.
When you look at one of my structures, some of it is exposed structure, and some of it is just a skin sitting on tiny ledges (like books on a shelf).

That is, you can stack the 4, 5, and 6 of Clubs in ascending order -- or you can stack them mixed up as 6, 4, and 5 -- and either way, the three cards will collapse.
After every 52 cards, you reach a new "level" and the rate of dropping increases by 100 milliseconds, until at the highest level it drops one step every 100 milliseconds.
You are never allowed to swap your card for another one, and any cards that you collapse are removed from play until you've finished the entire deck.

 Poker Chips and Playing Cards :: View topic - Practicing Riffle Stacking?
Naturally, you need to be able to hold back cards with both hands, so I would just practice a simple procedure, say stacking four of a kind in a three hand game over the course of four shuffles.
It's fine when you are stacking four of a kind in two shuffles in a four hand game and things like that, it means you only have to hold back six cards per shuffle.
But hypothetically, if you were to stacking four of a kind in one shuffle in a five hand game you would need to hold back sixteen cards, which when done by feel is extremely difficult, thus personally I resort to other methods.

 Peltier Stacking
SUMMARY: Stacking peltiers is fraught with complications and may not be a practical solution to supercooling high-wattage CPUs.
The critical reality here is that the second device must not only pump the heat from the thermal load plus its own internal power dissipation (I2R), but it also must remove the heat dissipated within the first TE device.
Be aware in stacking modules, however, that the overall heat-pumping capacity (in watts) of the stack will be limited to the throughput of the smallest device.
