Gryphon Roll
/1 Comment/in Non-Cards Advanced /by AsadDescription
This is a neat ring trick called the Gryphon Roll where you roll the ring between your fingers. Once you train your fingers and develop the right muscle memory you will be able to roll back and forth in a fluid and aesthetic motion.
Difficulty
Advanced. It will take a lot of repetitions to train your fingers to move the way they need to.

The Classic Pass is the move that epitomizes sleight of hand with cards. Use it as a card control, card vanish, false cut, color change, or another application. Practice IS Perfect
Difficulty
This is a hard one. You will have to learn it in several steps. First you need to learn the basic motions of the packets. Then you need to work on doing it quickly, and then silently. Lastly of all you need to practice the covering motion you use to minimize the flash.

Zarrow Shuffle

The Zarrow Shuffle is a great false shuffle that preserves the order of the whole deck. There are several versions of the Zarrow Shuffle. This one begins with a slip cut.
Difficulty
It will take a good amount of practice to be able to do this shuffle well. There is a big difference between an average Zarrow shuffle and a great Zarrow shuffle.

False In The Hands Riffle Shuffle
/2 Comments/in False Shuffle, Sleight of Hand Advanced /by AsadDescription
This is one of my favorite false shuffles. It can be done without a table and it looks exactly like an ordinary riffle shuffle.
Difficulty
This is a very advanced false shuffle. You should expect to practice this for hours before you can do it smoothly. First you need to be able to bridge the cards properly so that the halves stay completely separated, and then you need to practice separating the two packets without any hesitation.
