The Zarrow Shuffle Tutorial [False Shuffle]

Upcoming 52Kards Projects:

The Zarrow Shuffle is arguably one of the greatest false shuffles ever devised. It cleverly simulates an ordinary tabled riffle shuffle while maintaining the complete order of the deck. This is an advanced technique and will take a good deal of practice to learn well, but it has a lot of applications and can be used in many card tricks.

I always lift the deck when squaring up to cover it up from more angles. You did the shuffle beautifully in the intro.

+52Kards, I really appreciate your words in the intro, about getting better not just with the videography, but as a teacher. :-) Cool tutorial, and thanks! :-)

[znebrem]

Still my favorite because this move really put you on the map with that mismag contest. I remember discovering you through that contest way back.

I think the zarrow was one of your first videos....this takes me back :)

I remember you uploading those early videos and for the time you were one of the best with the tutorials. Still are in fact. So happy you're still up and running after all those years. You should make a small video on the up-the-ladder shuffle. That was a super smooth false shuffle.

tbh this is one of the best tutorials out there and im thankful for this since it is also rlly easy to learn and get used to also whenever i do a triumph i dont even hold a break between the shuffles i just dont see a reason for it idk maybe im stupid

[Chrishf]

Excellent tutorial! I paid for an online download to learn this initially, but your method is much better and easier to do! Thanks!

[bucfar]

Very nice execution my friend. I absolutely love this shuffle when using stack work.

Do yourself a favor and just skip to 2:18

Thank you for this video, first try on this false shuffle, good explanation and visual! You're really likeable, everything is nice in your video 👍👍

[KardSharp]

You've come a long way my friend. Congrats on your success...and as a professional gambler who prides himself on false shuffles, cuts and deals...I must admit, your Zarrow has become flawless and invisible.

When performing the Zarrow shuffle do not pull up and slide in, you need to rotate the hands, by rotation the hands it removes the "click" sound and stops the "lift" and push in; results: a smooth and realistic false shuffle....

[tomk]

Much better and no CLICK CLACK needed! You're GOOD you!!!!

This back Z arrow was to try to crush Z while it tried to look for Y long way away and 7 was behind it

One more request is as you've made a tutorial on sailing cards, please do a Tutorial on Second Deal or Bottom deal. I want to hear some more intricate points on it to make it more concealed and natural.

Awsome....was looking for a decent looking false shuffle that retains full deck order

[harper]

looks like top card will be with right half instead of left half.
