<p>A <b>card sharp</b> (also <b>card shark</b>, sometimes hyphenated or spelled as a single word) is a person who uses skill or deception to win at <a href="Card_game" title="Card game">card games</a> (such as <a href="Poker" title="Poker">poker</a>). "Sharp" and "shark" spellings have varied over time and by region.
</p><p>The label is not always intended as pejorative, and is sometimes used to refer to practitioners of <a href="Card_manipulation" title="Card manipulation">card tricks</a> for entertainment purposes. In general usage, principally in <a href="American_English" title="American English">American English</a> and more commonly with the "shark" spelling, the term has also taken on the meaning of an expert card gambler who takes advantage of less-skilled players, also called an "<a href="Advantage_player" class="mw-redirect" title="Advantage player">advantage player</a>", without any implication of actual <a href="Cheating_in_poker" title="Cheating in poker"> cheating at cards</a>, in much the same way that "<dfn><a href="Glossary_of_cue_sports_terms#shark" title="Glossary of cue sports terms"><span title="See entry at: Glossary of cue sports terms § Shark" style="color:inherit;" class="glossary-link">pool shark</span></a></dfn>" or <a href="Hustling" title="Hustling">"pool hustler"</a> can (especially when used by non-players) be intended to refer to a skilled player rather than a cheater or swindler. The synonym to "card sharp", "<b><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/blackleg" class="extiw external" title="wikt:blackleg">blackleg</a></b>", when used with reference to card-playing and swindlers, has pejorative connotations.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>A card sharp or shark (by either of the gambling-related definitions) may be a "<a href="Glossary_of_poker_terms#rounder" title="Glossary of poker terms">rounder</a>" who travels, seeking out high-stakes games in which to gamble.

<p>Card sharps who cheat or perform tricks use methods to keep control of the order of the cards or sometimes to control one specific card. Many of these methods employ <a href="Sleight_of_hand" title="Sleight of hand">sleight of hand</a>. Essential skills are <i><a href="Shuffling#Faking" title="Shuffling">false shuffles</a></i> and <i><a href="False_cut" class="mw-redirect" title="False cut">false cuts</a></i> that appear to mix the <a href="Playing_card" title="Playing card">deck</a> but actually leave the cards in the same order. More advanced techniques include <i>culling</i> (manipulating desired cards to the top or bottom of the deck), and <i>stacking</i> (putting desired cards in position to be dealt).
</p><p>Dealing the cards can also be manipulated. Once a desired card or cards are located they can be controlled and dealt as the cheater wishes. This is called a false dealing; if a card is dealt from the bottom it is called <i><a href="Bottom_dealing" title="Bottom dealing">bottom dealing</a></i> and if it is second from the top it is called <i><a href="Second_dealing" title="Second dealing">second dealing</a></i>. Two cards could be dealt as one or the second card from the bottom could be dealt, hence the Greek deal and double deals. Dealing may also be done from the middle of the deck, known as the <i>middle deal</i> or <i>center deal</i>, but is almost always performed as a display of skill rather than actual cheating.<sup id="cite_ref-Maskelyne_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Maskelyne-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Johnson_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Johnson-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
