Waving - Poker (gambling)


A method of marking cards in which the thief bends key cards around his finger such that the resultant waved cards can be identified in another player' s hand or in the deck (when being dealt or for the purpose of cutting to a particular point in the deck). Bending cards is also called crimping, although that usually puts a more pronounced bend into cards than waving. Crimping often involves bending corners.
