The Zarrow Shuffle is the ultimate false riffle shuffle. Now Herb Zarrow explains the
details and secret techniques that make the Zarrow Shuffle undetectable. No matter how
many riffle shuffles you give the deck, you maintain complete control of all the cards.
The Zarrow Shuffle is the most deceptive false shuffle ever created and one of the few
sleights that was instantly adopted not only by top card workers but also by professional
card sharpers.
Persi Diaconis in his introduction to Dai Vernon's Revelations wrote: "Zarrow's
shuffle may very well be the single most important practical card move invented since
Erdnase.
