If you properly shuffle a deck of cards, in all likelihood, the resulting deck has never been seen before in the history of the world.
Details:
There are approximately permutations of a deck of 52 cards (52!). The modern deck of cards as we know it was invented in 1480. There are approximately seconds between now and then. In order for there to even be a 0.001% chance of a random shuffle to have been seen before, the world would have needed to have generated shuffles to date or approximately shuffles per second. Not even Vegas can shuffle that fast.
