Stripper technique

The stripper technique is a technique used by Arkana, in the second anime series and the manga, to draw his "Dark Magician" more easily. What he did is that before his Duel with Yami Yugi, he trimmed the edges of his three "Dark Magician" cards, and when Yugi would cut his Deck, he would inadvertently cut it at the point so that one of the "Dark Magician" cards would be on top of a small stack, ensuring that one of the cards would be at the top of the entire Deck.
