I can't seem to figure out a good system that will shuffle the cards in my card game. Does anyone know a good way?

mainly I am looking for a better way than I am currently using. I have 2 global values per card. 1 defines whre it is 0=deck, 1=player1 2=player2 3=player3 and 4=player4. The other global is used to define where in the curent deck it is ei: 1 is on top, 2 is the next one down. I use a set global command that gives a random number then a conditional cheaks to see if that number is being used by any of the other cards, if not then it assignes the number to a card and moes on to the next, if the number is in use by one of the other cards then it has it pick a different number and starts all over again. I need a better method because this one takes a long time for it to finish shuffleing the cards.

my system isn't linear
if the parameters are tweaked the wait between selection of cards and such should be minuscule,
and if segmented could possibly be made 4x faster than it is already is.

I wasn't planning on it. It's just a fun project that i'm doing in my spare time. It will be free to everyone.
edit: I haven't recieved an email though. My email is graham@vhpublications.com
