Episode 179 - Ultimate Magician Fooler

[wontiuq]

Brand new to Scam School (and loving it) - not sure how I missed it for so long.

I registered for the forum so I could post my question about the riffle shuffle Rich does before he starts the trick. It blows my mind, and makes this trick even more awesome (the cards can't be pre-arranged, right?).

In teaching the trick, Rich does not mention the shuffle.

Does anyone know how to do that "implied" riffle shuffle while maintaining the setup of the deck??

just make sure that when you finish the riffle you hold of the top half of the deck approximately at your prearranged pack while you finish the bottom half, then release the top half in a riffle, when done at speed no one notices, I promise, I've done it thousands of times for countless different tricks.

I could swear it looks like Rich is doing a complete riffle shuffle. This is something I will have to practice - it isn't as easy at it appears

Research the "faro shuffle". Harry Lorayne and Darwin Ortiz both cover it in their writings.
