For many years I was referring to this as a variant of the ‚Zarrow-Shuffle‘, until Karl-Heinz Ritter from Munich corrected me, pointing out to me it’s actually more of a shank shuffle. For years I believed I was doing a proper Zarrow, which I was not (incompetence?). Whatever it is (Roberto Giobbi will probably set things right sometime) it works. And is one of my all-time tabled false shuffle.
Why? Because I can do it flawlessly even when working with a used borrowed deck and being pissed. More than one time this shuffle saved my life …
The red card in the video is a double card. Two cards glued together but overlapping for about 2 mm, so that I have a thick card in combination with a broad card. This card in the video shows as aJoker. This way, the whole shuffle is even easier and more convincing, because I don’t have to hold a break in between shuffles. Figure this one out for yourselves …
