Glide is a card sleight used to control the top or bottom card keeping it at that position during a deal. It comes from the French equivalent term, glisser la carte (glide [or slide] the card).

The term has been in use in English since Roterberg (1897).

In Card Control By Arthur H. Buckley, the Glide can be used as a shift. The Glide Shift can be used to control a card to the top or bottom while giving the illusion of squaring up the deck.
