the illusion of randomness performed by hands that mostly cheat themselves
means To mix things into a new order, or to move with short, dragging steps — depending on whether you're holding cards or just tired.
from A word of Germanic stock, related to 'shove' and 'scuff' — that family of words built on the soft, scraping sound of feet or hands pushing things along a surface. It surfaces in English in the 1500s meaning to move clumsily or shift about, and only later settles into the brisk card-table sense of remixing a deck.
