Wedges
Wedges are tapered or shaved cards that a cheater can pull from a deck when needed. The cards are cut so that they feel different from the others.
The simple explanation
A card that is slightly narrower at one end can be found by touch. A cheater uses wedges to find the cards he needs.
A closer look
Wedges are one of the old tools for cheating, along with marked cards. Legitimate rooms use new, sealed decks and inspect them. If a deck feels uneven, if cards are bent or cut differently, call the floor and ask for a new deck.
A practical example
A dealer notices that several cards in a deck are narrower than the rest and changes the deck.
