Its really easy to do a false shuffle, but more difficult to make it appear that you didnt false shuffle.

Also for you all out there aspiring to learn a little bit about card mechanics, I would advise you learn the Faro Out Shuffle first!

Nice trick but all his hand and finger waving shit was annoying and in my opinion detracted from the performance.

That was pretty good. Thought it would be campy all the way through, but he had some complex shuffles and nice sleight of hand tricks, impressive!

This is far better than it's getting credit for... *promote

With a string of tricks this long, I think the flourish helps distract from some of the actual odd hand movements he has to do. You get distracted watching one hand while he does something with the other. Like when he flips a card with his left hand under the fan of cards, or when he blatently puts the card in his mouth.

It also sort of camouflages things by blending with the moves he has to do. If he only did it when needing to do an actual trick you'd pick up on it way easier.

That was awesome. All the tricks look like they could be pulled off with a normal deck of cards, except the card that changed when we waved it. No idea how he did that if that wasn't a trick deck.

The card popping to the top of the deck was pretty cute.
