Learn The Very Best False Shuffles - Ben Salinas
$14.95 (download) https://magicmakersinc.com/products/lear......download The Hype: Imagine picking up a deck of cards and shuffling them without ever changing the order of the cards. Whether manipulating card order or simplysatisfying skeptical audience members false shuffles are a MUST in performing card effects. Join Ben Salinas as he introduces a variety of false shuffles. Watch and learn the most useful and most practical shuffles to use under any circumstance. These shuffles are the best of the best! COURSE CONTENTS: Zarrow Shuffle Greek Shuffle Underhanded Overhand Shuffle False Faro Shuffle Off the Table False Riffle Shuffle Showoff Shuffle False Hindu Shuffle Red Black False Shuffle Austrian Toss Shuffle False Haymow Shuffle Push Thru False Shuffle Sloppy False Shuffle Overhand False Shuffle Retaining Top Overhand False Shuffle Retaining Bottom Hindu Shuffle Retaining Bottom PLUS: many more excellent and highly useful tips! My Take: The more product I see with Ben teaching the more impressed I am with his communication skills. Anyone can demonstrate a trick in a video but not everyone can teach the move or effect properly. This seems to be a skill Ben has. Ben teaches 15 great false shuffles, both full deck and shuffles retaining certain cards. The moves are shot from both the top and the front. You also only see Ben's hands. His face doesn't make an appearance. (Apparently he doesn't want his Hollywood looks to distract you from your learning.) He goes over each shuffle thoroughly and gives his tips on making them easier. You actually get a little bonus. When he teaches the False Faro Shuffle, he also gives a short tutorial on the regular Faro shuffle so you know just how it should look. There are some tremendously deceptive shuffles taught here. Two that impressed me were the Austrian Toss Shuffle and the Sloppy False Shuffle. Both are visually impressive but surprisingly easy to do. He also gives one of the better tutorials on the Zarrow Shuffle that I have had the pleasure of watching. He goes over it multiple times, both slow and up to speed. His teaching makes it much easier to learn this brilliant shuffle. I once had the opportunity to watch Ray Goulet in Boston do the shuffle and it was a thing of beauty in his hands. There is no way you could detect the shuffle was anything but real. What Ben has put together here is a gold mine for card workers. It gives you a whole toolbox of shuffles. You probably already know some but there probably also ones you don't. Things you might want to learn. I have always wanted to learn the push through shuffle and now it might even be possible. The only thing that bothered me is that there is no crediting. After all, these shuffles didn't invent themselves. Other than that this download is something you should own. Highly recommended. |

No mention of the shank shuffle.what a shame.leaving it out is unfortunate,as it is worthy of inclusion.a great boon for those that employ it as it will not be overused...
God's grace rocks! It makes a good cups and balls routine look pretty boring in comparison.
