THIS SHUFFLE IS NOT THE ZARROW SHUFFLE, IT'S CALLED THE FALOPODOPOLOUS SHUFFLE WITH HUNTER'S VARIATION!!!

Ignoring the whole originality thing, I just don't find this that good of a false shuffle.

If you work with a table a lot or maybe have small hands and cant easily do an air riffle shuffle and cascade, then mabye this will work for you.

Learn how to do a false riffle shuffle instead, it'll serve you much better.

If you handed a beginner magician a deck of cards and told him to pretend to riffle shuffle, he might come up with something that looks similar to this...on the spot.

It's not impressive, not original by any means, and it's one move for quite a bit of dough. Worth it for a five dollar download if you have nothing else in your arsenal.

Provides a very detailed explanation for this shuffle. As others have noted, this is what was known as the Shank Shuffle. Ed Marlo wrote a whole treatise on it, and he discussed in detail the differences between the Shank and the Zarrow, while acknowledging that they're nearly identical in execution and result. But that treatise is hard to find, the Shank Shuffle has faded into obscurity, and yet some, including Marlo, preferred it to the Zarrow. Though he calls it the Hunter Shuffle, this DVD revives a highly useful sleight and, at the current price, it's a steal. A great piece of history and a very practical false riffle shuffle.

This shuffle looks exactly like the zarrow shuffle. I don't think that the guy in the demo video invented this shuffle. It is an awesome shuffle though, and it's great when used in Bill Malone's Sam The Bellhop

To me, it takes a lot of nerve to take a classic move like the Zarrow Shuffle, make a minute change, not for the better I might add, and then claim it as yours. Mr. Hunter seems a nice enough guy and his teaching is well done, but save your money and buy the real thing. Herb Zarrow teaching his own false shuffle.

Listen lots of people say it rips off the Zarrow shuffle. Well, I feel that it was a good effect. The DVD is very easy to understand. The shuffle is also relatively easy to learn, with about a hour of practice you will be doing it better than Hunter. The only reason it lost a star is because it does not give you any ideas for effects. Nor does it give you suggestions for reading material that will complement your shuffle. Say what you will but its a good card sleight. (Although, I must be honest, if it was not part of a penguin bonus, I would not have made the purchase.)

The shuffle is great. However, a better title would be "Rudy Hunter does the Zarrow Shuffle". Little bit irritated by people taking credit for other's material.

I got this DVD on a open box special at the lowest price possible. The DVD is about 10 minutes long, and if you are familiar with the zarrow shuffle this DVD will not be for you. This shuffle I got down in a few practice sessions and looked very fair and clean.

So this would be my recommendation. This a 10 minute video that gives great instruction on a cool shuffle.I would suggest to get this on open box special.If you are familiar with the Zarrow shuffle you would be disappointed with this purchase. I was happy with my purchase and the shuffle. If I had paid full price for this I would of been really disappointed

I think I've pretty much said it all in the title!
A very well made (although short)DVD which gives you all you need to learn this great shuffle.
Now, to Zarrow or to Hunter?
