 In response to Al Baker's "Pack That Cuts Itself," Leslie Guest posed a challenge to create a "Pack That Shuffles Itself" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/40796/Linking+Ring/52|Linking Ring]]//, Vol. 8 No. 7, Sep. 1928, p. 562. The following month ([[http://askalexander.org/display/40797/Linking+Ring/45|Vol. 8 No. 8, Oct. 1928, p. 639]]), Guest proposed a method to accomplish the effect using waxed pairs of cards. In response to Al Baker's "Pack That Cuts Itself," Leslie Guest posed a challenge to create a "Pack That Shuffles Itself" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/40796/Linking+Ring/52|Linking Ring]]//, Vol. 8 No. 7, Sep. 1928, p. 562.
