I have seen many top card magicians perform and teach the Zarrow and learned to do it as they taught it. Then I saw Steve perform his version of the Zarrow in person and close up. My jaw dropped because I could not tell as I did not see all the tells I have been accustomed to see.
His approach is excellent and I can't wait to get his DVD and I am more than OK if all he teaches is how to perform his version of the Zarrow.

Just an update for everyone, Steve's DVD titled Z. is now available for preorder on his site. I just preordered mine. There are a lot of glowing recommendations from guys like Steve Forte, Jack Carpenter and Alan Ackerman to name a few. Can't wait!
Sincerely,
Brandon James Pearce |

If anyone needs the link to Steve's Zarrow shuffle DVD here it is. Although a few "pre-pre-orders" managed to sneak in over the past few days, today is the official launch of the DVD in pre-order and we should be shipping by Friday. (DVDs are expected to arrive on Thursday the 6th.)

I know I don't post here often, but here I am.
If you have any questions, I'm available to answer them. Here are some answers to some of the questions I've read here: 1. Yes, the DVD is finished and is in the PRE-ORDER PHASE. 2. It will be ready to ship on the 6th of August 2015 from Las Vegas (I'll be at Magic Live! talking about the Zarrow Shuffle). 3. I am a magician and not a gambler/cheat. 4. I've worked on the Zarrow since I first saw Brother John perform it in conjunction with "Two-Shuffles Harry"--I was 15 (I'm 38 now). 5. My inspiration for this handling is Edward Marlo (see: Prime-Time Marlo [1994]). 6. This information has been in a book for the last 5 years and I shared this with those who attended my workshop and briefly available to the masses (my masses are about 25 people!). You can become one of "my masses" by asking to be on my mailing list. Come join the fun. 7. I chose to make a DVD since my EXPLANATION is as complete as the book--the information is taken directly from my workshop. 8. Consider "Z." a book on tape with visual aids. 9. I'm sorry for any problems with Paypal. It might be better to go to: http://www.stevereynoldsmagic.com/products/z 10. This is not one or two finesses. It's not just about the Zarrow Shuffle, but also about how to execute a clean and direct Riffle Shuffle. 11. It's not just for the EXPERTS, but for the average card handler as well (and coin handlers that want to learn to shuffle). 12. Why another book/DVD on the Zarrow Shuffle: Because I think I have something significant to add that has not been shared before. Let me know if I missed anything and I will try to answer it/them to the best of my ability. Thanks for your time. Steve Reynolds |

But that aside, I don't know that the blanket statement that books are the "best way to learn" is true. I tend to agree with that sentiment when talking about learning full routines from start to finish (although even then I can think of exceptions), but I've always maintained that video frequently has the edge when one is trying to learn a move or technique (especially one involving timing or coordinated actions).

I'm looking forward to receiving this. When I get it into my head to perfect a sleight, I try to obtain everything that's out there.
Over the last few years, I've spent a lot of time trying to perfect a Zarrow that looks like a standard riffle shuffle, not a Zarrow shuffle. I'm fairly satisfied with the results up to now. I'm curious if Steve's method incorporates some of the ideas I've come up with. |

Nicholas,
Thank you. I would love to compare notes. Maybe I'll learn something from you. I'm the same way when it comes to working on moves, etc. There's a lot out there. I always assume that there's someone who has spent more time on it than I have. So, since I've now spent considerable time and energy on the Shuffle (and related techniques), I thought it was time to get this stuff out. This was due partly by a demand by those I have shared these ideas with over the years. Once you get it, Nicholas, and have spent some time working through it let's talk. It's easy to become territorial and guarded with moves that you've made your own. I try not to be that way. So, any time you want to talk, we can. I'm sure some of the real inside guys out there will be critical of my work. So be it. Steve |

I don't believe there is any intention of releasing a video preview.

Maybe it's just me, but Jason England and Steve Forte had good things to say about this, so, I didn't need a review or a video demo.
Most magician's, including a lot of the top card men, perform Zarrow shuffles that look like, well... Zarrow shuffles, and not very good ones, at that. In addition, many of them don't perform very good normal riffle shuffles. You can either become or remain one of those magicians, or get this DVD and change all of that. I've worked for a long time to get my Zarrow to look like a normal riffle shuffle. This DVD gave me some additional tips that are invaluable. |
