I feel like I'm tipping something here, but...I think the pushthrough is an extremely convincing, easy-to-learn false table shuffle. I learned this from Simon Lovell. I don't find the Zarrow compares. I'm not sure why the pushthrough isn't more popular.

Faro's (8 of them, perfectly) from what I've heard are the best to maintain the order of any kind of stacked deck. Daryl get's into some simple ones on his 'Encylopedia of Card Sleights' DVD (believe it is 1 or 2) that are simple, but effective.

I'm thinking about buying Zarrow's DVD to learn his shuffle. I saw another DVD by Brad Burt that teaches the Zarrow shuffle. Could anybody recommend either of these or another DVD?

I've seen Brad's video on the classic pass. It's very complete and he goes over all of the fine points and covers for the move. The Zarrow also requires complete knowledge of many fine points to be executed effectively. I have no doubt that Brad would be able to teach this move well.
That being said, Zarrow invented this shuffle and I assume that he would be the best teacher. Many others at the Café say that it's the best resource for learning the move by video. Gary Plants also provides a FANTASTIC booklet which covers all of the details of the handling of this move. I haven't seen the videos, but I can't think of anything that this booklet has left out. It's clear, detailed, and talks about all of the right and wrong ways to approach the Zarrow Shuffle. Just my 2 cents. -Miles |

Miles,
Thanks for the info. I've heard good things about Gary's booklet the past couple of days. The reason I asked about a DVD is because I bought a couple of books including Erdnase and found them difficult to follow. A dvd I bought by Ian Kendall on seconds and bottoms dealing was real easy to follow. Larry |

The sleight of the century- Zarrow shuffle.

For table work, nothing could beat the tried and tested false-shuffle giants: The Push-Through and the Zarrow. Both very deceptive, but are easy to execute improperly.
For stand-up work, Derek Delgaudio's Truffle Shuffle is one of the best there is. Guy Hollingworth's False Shuffle is great, too. (But personally, I recommend and prefer Truffle Shuffle.) It boils down to which you think is appropriate for you, really. |

WOW! I had not heard of the Truffle Shuffle (Outside of The Goonies), but this looks awesome! It also looks strikingly similar to the Real Green Shuffle. Almost identical in fact. Does anyone know if it's actually different in method?

I bought Herb Zarrow's DVD. Mr. Zarrow talks about a "spread" with the righ hand packet of cards. I beleive this is beveling the cards so that they can slip beneath the top cards of the left hand packet. Mr. Zarrow seems to drop a left hand packet block, then riffle some cards and finish with a drop of a right hand block and finally the last few cards in the left hand packet. Can the shuffle be done riffling all the cards instead of dropping blocks of cards, and can this "spread" he talks about be made if the cards are riffled instead of dropped in blocks? Thanks.

I'm a big fan of the haymow shuffle. Very sloppy, very random, totally false.
