I'm giving this a 4 because it really is the most deceptive false shuffle I've seen. Generally, I
have absolutely no trouble spotting a false shuffle, but in the hands of the right person, the
bridge riffle is a real fooler.
The problem is that, for my hands at least, this is far
more difficult than any other false shuffle I've attempted to learn. And what's even more
frustrating, when you do this badly, you end up riffling the cards all over the floor. It's really
hard to maintain the motivation to learn something when each attempt leaves you having to play
52-pickup.

This is a false shuffle that is basically a Zarrow Shuffle for strolling magic. the Zarrow requires
a table so obviously that won't work for strolling magic. This is not for beginners, but
intermediate magicians should be able to perform this with quite a bit of work. This isn't easy. If
you can't perform it smoothly then you aren't ready to perform it. But once you have you will have a
powerful tool.
The instruction is very good and every subtlety and detail is covered in depth.

this is a nice little trick. as with anny false riffle shuffle, this trick will take some practice
and it is important to be comfortable with the riffle, without a table. however, this is a nice
routine using the heinstein shuffle. nothing special, but it is a crowd pleaser.

I have seen explanations for this shuffle elsewhere, but no where else is it covered with the
subtleties that make it 100% deceptive. He teaches everything you need to know to throw even the
most observant spectator.
This is a fantastic shuffle to use to throw people off memorized
deck work, and really in any situation with a prepared deck. There are some other deceptive in the
hands false riffle shuffles, but this looks more natural than any others by far.
It took me
a couple days to master the shuffle. Just be prepared to pause the video, watch closely, and
practice. If you are comfortable with doing the bridge, you will no doubt get this down with some
effort. You'll love it!
This Riffle Shuffle if GOLD if you can master it!!
It is NOT the "out of the box" EASY version
magic the everyone is available to do. BUT, if you will put the work into it, you will have a
BULLETPROOF false shuffle with it without a table. Buy it!
Very thorough tutorial by a master at the false shuffle.
