Socialized Gambling?

There is this nifty new product I just found out about called ShuffleUp Cards where you shuffle the cards in a candy dish. Sounds a little wacky when put like this, but I really think this is genius. My hat goes off to the inventor.

Why? you might ask do I think so highly of this product. Well, let me tell you. As an occupational therapist I work with kids that do not have great socialization skills. I have also worked with 85 year old vets that just want to remember the good old days. A friend of mine works with people with recent brain injuries. These cool little chip like cards are fun for the kids, easy to get a hold of for arthritic or hands that need a little extra coaxing from the brain. Not only do they not need shuffling, it would defeat the purpose. I have just ordered a set so I will have to get back to you whether or not they perform as advertised. I will also give my 7-10 year old clients an opportunity to destroy them. I figure if they are hardy enough to take it this will be a permanent addition to my OT bag of tricks.
