i know some of these controlling shuffles like overhand shuffles, hindu shuffles. but no alot , so any one could like kinna tell me a good book(will be the best) that has these. must also be cheap. also false shuffles.

lol so what you want is cheap and good recommendations ya?

controlling of card during a shuffle ==> Royal Road to Card Magic (cheapest) or Card College (quite ex for one volume)

false shuffles ==> try Lennert Green volume 4 dvd (its all on false shuffles)

books on false shuffing...RRTCM has a couple of it, maybe card college will have it too.

Personally i felt that sleight of hands is better to learn off videos, at least you get a picture how the sleight looks like. Reading a sleight of hand may require quite a bit of visualizing.

^_^

I know for sure these are in the Card College Volume1, but as bigbadwolf says, its quite expensive.

Buckley's Card Control (ton of stuff)

Weapons of the Card Shark is good for false shuffles and cuts. The Dan and Dave System has a whole lot of flourishy false cuts as well. Check those out.

actually i feel that you dont have to know many false shuffles. Get comfortable with 1 and stick to it is the best. =)

If you're going to use them in a card game or use them more than once in a trick it's good to know a few though.

Instead of learning shuffle controls and false shuffles, learn card controls and passes.

It doesn't really matter how you shuffle cards unless you're a serious flourisher.

yup true black wing, i am on my riffle and classic pass now. hope to learn more passes. i liked the pass you did at the meeting, the suspicious riffling made it obvious that it was a pass

Weapons of Card Shark.... Tons of false shuffle....Fake cut....Deck Switch etc

If you are really a fan of card controls then you have to learn the pass... You'll have alot of fun with it compared to false shuffles (my own opinion) ^_^

Well, I am a newbie too, but I heard a lot of reviews online regarding beginner stuff.

Most recommended by people is the card college vol 1-3 by Roberto Giobbi. hope I got the name rite. Its a book series that teaches everything abt card magic. however, its pretty x.

If u prefer dvds, go for born to perform by oz pearlman. also highly receommended and wont burn a hole in your pocket.

I always use the Heinstein Shuffle for giving the deck a false shuffle. It is a completely in the hands false shuffle. Not too easy though. But it is extremely convincing - so convincing that I have fooled lots of magicians all around the world with stacked deck effects (I used the Heinstein Shuffle of course). I strongly believe that it is also the most accurate. I have experienced a clumping together of cards with the other shuffles and alsways worry if my stack has gone awry. Thanks to this shuffle I no longer have to.Cheers.

Not a pro here but i remember last time I used too many shuffle and my friends ask me y so troublesome to perform a magic... i cut down to 2 or 3 now... habit still kick in thou :P
