- Pick up the dealt hand and group all of the cards together, with the backs of the cards facing out.
- With one hand tightly on the bottom, use the thumb and first finger of the other hand to spread out the top corners of the cards so that you can see the number or picture letter (J, Q, K or A) to form a fan.
- Now take the lowest diamond from the hand and place it behind the other cards, so that you cannot see it any longer.
- Take the next lowest diamond and place it behind all the other cards so that you cannot see it any longer.
- Continue with step four above with all the diamonds.
- Repeat steps three to five with the club suit.
- Repeat steps three to five with the heart suit.
- Repeat steps three to five with the spade suit.
- You will now be looking at the lowest diamond the first card you moved to the back. Spread out the cards as you did at the beginning and your hand will be sorted.
