Zarrow shuffle is a sleight of hand technique that gives the appearance of being a normal riffle shuffle, when actually the cards maintain their original order. It was invented by magician Herb Zarrow and first published in The New Phoenix N° 346, July 1957, page 210, as Full Deck Control.

This is an example of a false shuffle. The shuffle appears to be a normal riffle shuffle to spectators. In fact, it leaves the cards in exactly the same order as before the shuffle.
