I liked Daryl's Encyclopedia of Card Sleights DVD for the false shuffles...can't remember which volume they are on. He demonstrates shuffles you can do in your hands or with a table.

Bill Malone teaches various false cuts and the Zarrow on On the Loose for his Sam the Bellhop routine. He also teaches an additional false cut with his Favorite Opener; it may be a repeat from the Sam the Bellhop routine, but I don't remember it to be so.

Aside from learning the Zarrow and presented false cuts, you also get some excellent routines and peformance ideas from Bill Malone.

I agree with Mike here. However, Bill Malone really goes into greater depth on the false cuts and the Zarrow Shuffle on his video entitled "Sam the Bellhop". Yes, he briefly covers some of this material when explaining the "Sam the Bellhop" routine on his Volume 1 "One the Loose" video BUT not as extensively as he does on the "Sam the Bellhop" video.

A good false shuffle which does not require a table is the Heinstein Shuffle which can be found in Genii, April 2001, p. 50.
There is also a tape out. The shuffle looks like this:
