What amazing control in that video. From the very start, spreading the cards so evenly that every single card can be shown to be in order, then even more the precision needed to riffle the cards together perfectly eight times.

It you want to see more amazing, Ricky Jay could do this while keeping up a stream of amusing patter and making his hand motions seem almost casual. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eonlrksCsw8
Richard Turner does it with patter, casual motions, and while being blind.

He had some interesting appearances on Penn and Teller's show 'Fool Us': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwFIJyWKs1k
