Zarrow Shuffle Dilemma

[MohanaMisra]

I usually keep just one card cover for the Zarrow Shuffle because the multiple card covers seem to require successive zarrows and while I have no problem with that, I wanted a false shuffle which would be entirely false the first time round.

Now the dilemma is this:- If I try to replicate the binding of the cards which happens during a genuine riffle shuffle, then I risk flashing the Zarrow from the front (because the completion of the shuffle will then require greater time). However, if I try to make the shuffle angle-proof, it becomes a smooth motion which never happens in ANY riffle shuffle.

Are there some tips I could use?

I have Enchantments and Inner Secrets of Magic. Both describe the Zarrow in very different ways. However I found Brian Brushwood's Zarrow Shuffle immensely fooling, and it's his handling that mine is most similar too (except it's not that fooling).

Thanks in advance!

I'm by no means an expert on the Zarrow, so I'm hoping someone else will weigh in as well, but here's my 2p on the matter:
Personally, I like using multiple cover cards, for the reason that the best Zarrows I have seen so far use several cover cards. This suits me well, because I like to do several shuffle, instead of just one. However, you can also use several cards as cover cards when doing a single shuffle, it just gets a little more difficult.
The thing about doing single Zarrows which I like least is the fact that you need a slip cut to set it up, adding yet another move that may be detected.

On the interlace: Jason England recommends cutting a light (=less than half of the cards) top half to the right (this is assuming you're using one shuffle) and, when interlacing the cards, first laying a bed of about a third of the left packet. This makes the pushing-together-action a lot easier.

As resources, consider getting Jason England's (T11) or Steve Reynold's (Vanishing Inc.) download. I don't have either, but I've only had good experiences with Jason England's teaching, and Steve Reynold has been lauded as the master of the Z by the likes of Steve Forte (have a look at the trailer, there are things in there I still don't understand).

I hope this rather unorganized mess of thoughts will help you somewhat
