Educator Yannay Khaikin explains why every time you shuffle a deck of cards, you could potentially be holding a combination that has never existed before. There are over 100,000,000 decks produced annually with casinos using hundreds of new decks a night.

The alphabet, with 26 letters ie half of a deck of cards could already come up with millions of combinations. Already forgot my math, the number of combinations for 52 cards would be astronomical.
