The Gilbreath shuffle is a method of shuffling a deck of cards, by riffling two packs of cards after reversing one of them. Unlike a standard riffle, it preserves certain properties of the sequence of cards, leading to its use in magic tricks. Gilbreath introduced the Gilbreath principle–the basis of card tricks using the Gilbreath shuffle-–in 1958 in an article in Genii magazine. In 1966 he published a generalization which is now called the Second Gilbreath principle.
The Gilbert–Shannon–Reeds model provides a mathematical model of the random outcomes of riffling, that has been shown experimentally to be a good fit to human shuffling. and that forms the basis for a recommendation that card decks be riffled seven times in order to randomize them thoroughly.. Later, mathematicians Lloyd M. Trefethen and Lloyd N. Trefethen authored a paper using a tweaked version of the Gilbert- Shannon-Reeds model showing that the minimum number of riffles for total randomization could also be six, if the method of defining randomness is changed.

Mathematically, Gilbreath shuffles can be described by Gilbreath permutations, permutations of the numbers from 1 to n that can be obtained by a Gilbreath shuffle with a deck of cards labeled with these numbers in order. Gilbreath permutations can be characterized by the property that every prefix contains a consecutive set of numbers. For instance, the permutation (5,6,4,7,8,3,2,9,1,10) is a Gilbreath permutation for n = 10 that can be obtained by dealing off the first four or five cards and riffling them with the rest. Each of its prefixes (5), (5,6), (5,6,4), (5,6,4,7), etc. contain a set of numbers that (when sorted) form a consecutive subsequence of the numbers from 1 to 10. Equivalently, in terms of permutation patterns, the Gilbreath permutations are the permutations that avoid the two patterns 132 and 312.. See in particular Proposition 3.3.
