TXTNTESo, the above is a set of 10 keys that allows to express most situations. As a way to test its consistency, let us ask if we could feed this notation into an imaginary robot and have it execute just what we expected. The answer may be negative, or positive, or in between at 90%. 1Text

MVENTEEither way, robots aside, it may help you streamline and manage your overhand sequences. Always revert to traditional words if needed, anything goes. It may also inspire you to think of a different, more powerful, notation. 1Text

S1

TXTNTESampleSGNDplpkt Hold deck in left hand standard grip. Separate the deck by undercutting half if the deck into right hand. Have spectator return his or her card onto the left hand pile. Overhand shuffle first card, injogging it. Shuffle off. Cut the half below the injog to topSGNDplpkt U + * = U SGNHash 1Text

S2

TXTNTEWe can add intuition by thinking of the jog as either a 'stop'-jog or as a 'start'-jog. In most situations we use the jog to 'stop' some SGNOpentop stockSGNClose secret arrangement SGNOpeneg. adding three cards onto a selectionSGNClose, or, we use the jog to 'start' a SGNOpenbottom stockSGNClose arrangement. SampleSGNDplpkt SGNOpen U + SGNClose * = U SGNHash 1Text

MVENTEThe brackets help remember which half of the deck SGNOpenbelow or above the jogSGNClose matters, and also how to 'pronounce' the jog. SectionSTRGEN
