The standard cut is accomplished via the following method:
Square up the packet of cards and place it on the table directly in front of you.
Next "cut"or divide the deck using either hand To divide it into two parts the top part and the bottom part.
Finally place the bottom Part on top of he the original top part which now becomes the bottom part.
So A cut divides the pack into two parts and also changes or reverses the two cut parts of the deck.
