I'm working on the Truffle Shuffle now and I'm slowly starting to get it looking good. My biggest problem is that I often catch the ends of the two packets on each other and the cards get a little ruined. I'm practicing on older decks until I get the knack for it. It's improved significantly since I first really started practicing it a few weeks ago but not to where I hit it every time.
I learned it from the October 2008 Genii. |

Just my few cents:
I do like the false ith shuffles of the Karl Hein bundle, which is available at vanishing inc. The first one I learned is the Daniel Madison variation. I recommend his work because of the great tutorial as weil. |

Hi there, first time posting.
In magic, (almost) any ith false shuffles work when you have put in the time to make it look natural and effortless. Most people have never heard of false shuffles, theyre a powerful tool when done good. Relaxed, casual shuffle should be used as a convincer that everything is as fair as it can get. That way you can stay relaxed, calm, natural, with no need for any unneeded misdirection, all while controlling your stack. Thanks, MS |

Just downloaded the Truffle Shuffle. Consider myself very comfortable with a deck of cards, and sleights of all types, but this is as foreign feeling as anything I can remember trying to learn. Anyone else feel that way? I really want to add a false shuffle (in the hands riffle) to my arsenal. Any suggestions to help learn this or suggestions for another? Thanks.

I think the truffle shuffle (even with Hein's nice 2.0) version is a real step down from a well performed Heistein. |

Can't recommend it enough.. look for Ben Earls or Daniel Madisons ITH false shuffle.
Daniels version feels like a real shuffle and there is no need for a cut or a second shuffle afterwards. The angles are perfect. I like the Heinstein Shuffle for some Triumph Routines. |

A year or two later, I decided I should come back and try again. It took me a while, and my right thumb hurt after practicing for too long - but eventually, it started clicking. Once you're comfortable with the moves and applying the right pressure for springing, it's still one of those moves that's easy to perform badly - so make sure you don't fall into that trap. Once you think you got it, you're probably halfway there. Then you have to work on timing, consistency, etc. At least that was my experience! Can't speak for the other shuffles mentioned, but I've heard good things about them too. |
