Zarrow shuffle is a sleight of hand technique that gives the appearance of being a normal riffle shuffle, but in fact leaves the cards in exactly the same order. This is an example of a false shuffle. It was invented by magician Herb Zarrow c. 1940. [1] The Zarrow shuffle includes slip cutting the deck, and moving the left packet in-between the top card of the right packet, and the rest of the right packet.
