my most hated card sleight

Back then when i am hooked with different kinds of false shuffles there is only 1 shuffle that i really hated, its the "zarrow shuffle" i said to myself am i doing it right? or it's just that the sleight is really bad? after that i didn't bother to practice it, i said to my self that's ok there is so many false shuffles to choose from i dont need to worry about it instead i learned the push through shuffle and truffle shuffle.



i'm satisfied with that 2 shuffles until i find myself looking for a new effect to learn and i said to myself "i want the roll over aces by derek dingle" that i watched a year ago. So i learned it through classic rendition vol. 3 by michael ammar the dvd teaches the roll over aces in great details and guess what the trick needs my most hated shuffle hehehe. so i decided to learn it seriously, i watch all the sources of zarrow shuffle that i have like "the zarrow shuffle by herb zarrow" and "zarrow shuffle by jason england" it really helped me a lot. After that it become my habit to practice it whenever i am holding my deck of cards. There's so many things you can do with this shuffle that can't be done with the other shuffles. Right now it's one of my favorite card sleights :D

So the lesson that i learned here is never neglect a sleight and say to yourself that its not worthy until you learned it perfectly. specially the classic sleights because it won't be a classic for nothing.

if you want to know what happen to the roll over aces that i'm learning that time here's the product :D
