Hello out there.

I have for a long time want to learn, one of the in the hands false riffle shuffles.

I have looked at the Truffle shuffle and the Heinstein shuffle, and think i will stick to one of them, but if you have a another false riffle shuffle, pls link in the comments.

I have search on the internet, and i find it really hard, to find a site, where i can buy the Truffle Shuffle. Anybody in here, there knows a legit website, who sale the Truffle shuffle, and somebody know, where i can buy the Heinstein Shuffle??

And which one, will you stick with?
The Truffle Shuffle or The Heinstein shuffle.

Again, sorry for bad english, but i hope you can understand it.

Have a good weekend.

Hope somebody can help.

Best regards

-Emil
 
I'd recommend the Heinstein Shuffle. The truffle shuffle is good enough, but it's quite angle sensitive. You can usually cover the angles well enough by just turning your body a slight bit (most people won't notice), but if you're surrounded it might be a problem. On the other hand, if you look at the Heinstein shuffle it's pretty much angle-proof. The downside to it is that it's a lot harder to learn and that you need two of them for a full-deck false shuffle.
There's an old thread somewhere that mentions a few pros and cons to both of these shuffles, let me see if I can dig it up ...

You have to scroll down a bit to find the comparison.
