You might like Dan Fishman's full deck retention false overhand shuffle. I learned it from Patrick Redford's book Applesauce. Here is a demo on YT:

I have become a fan of the optical false shuffle. Because it is so easy, it allows you to shuffle and simultaneously look directly at the spectator. I have done this many times standing right next to a spec and no one has ever mentioned seeing anything suspicious.

Dan Fishman's full deck retention false overhand shuffle is my favorite. Smile

Jared Koph in his Vanishing Inc video (which is very good by the way) refers to an added touch that Bill Malone has on his tapes. Does anyone know which tape and which effect.

(This post corrects the spelling of Kopf [from Koph] from my September 15 post.)

I leant my false shuffle from Lennart Green, very deceptive. Been using it ever since, it takes a quite bit practise though.

+1 for The Real Green Shuffle. I found by switching the 'working' hand at the start of the shuffle I can eliminate the final cut, which turns this shuffle in to a full deck, in the hands f**se riffle sh***le Smile

I did the same with the Grey Shuffle by Ben Earl. Final cut avoided Smile

For me there are two must learn false shuffles, Guy Hollingworth's in the hands false shuffle and the Overhand False Shuffle by Dan Garrett. Ben Earl is also a good source when it comes to false shuffles....everything really.

I just came across this one, which I have never seen before. It might appeal to someone here on the Café -

Richard Turner has one very similar to this and maybe a little easier to do.

This topic has been explored in considerable depth here.

The discussion meanders a bit, but it does cover all the best-liked solutions.

I’m probably shooting myself in the foot here, but is any spectator ever actually fooled by a false shuffle and/or cut? In fact, even if the magician actually DOES shuffle a deck of cards, does any spectator ever actually believe he/she has done so?

My sense is, no.

The average spectator likely has no idea how false shuffles and cuts are technically done, but my guess is that most halfway intelligent people are aware such techniques exist.

Yet we (myself included) spend countless hours practicing and perfecting these techniques.

Why?

And that, I think, is a more interesting question to explore/discuss than one’s favorite false shuffle, which even if performed flawlessly, deceives no one.
