Basically they push through a desired card from left chamber to right chamber after reading the card's edge. Because the unbalanced face cards and small cards in the five groups, there is a thin layer of tens left on the very top of the shoe on the right chamber. So if you cut at 40% of the shoe from the top, you will finish the shoe with very positive TC.
This assumes the pit boss turns on ASM clumping for the day. In my observation, they turn on clumping on both red and blue decks in holiday to increase profit margins. On weekdays, you will have one regular shoe and one clumping shoe alternated. Just play two or three shoes to see if there is the following pattern. You want to see if 7, 8, 9 are coming together, if ace are clumping together (like six aces in a span of 13 cards), if 6 are clumping together, if 2, 3, 4 are always close to each other.
