Pull-through False Shuffle
From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
Pull-through False Shuffle (a.k.a. Push-Through False Shuffle) is a generic term for a false shuffle in which a tabled deck is divided into two roughly equal packets, which are then riffled-shuffled together and apparently squared while in fact being kept slightly (though imperceptibly) misaligned. The packets are then pulled through each other in the act of cutting the deck, restoring it to its original order.
