A block transfer is to move one or several cards from one half of the deck to the other half, leaving everything else unchanged. The transfer can happen on the top or on the bottom. This is a riffle shuffle technique very useful for riffle stacking.

The double undercut is one of the basic utility moves of card magic. It allows you to move cards from the top to the bottom or vice versa. It can also be used as a card control. Allan teaches you both, the in-hand and on-the-table varieties.

This is another Red Black Shuffle, but in contrast to Ireland's Red Black Shuffle this is a riffle shuffle technique.

runtime: 3min 1s

This is an overhand shuffle that allows you to retain cards in their respective half. Say you have all black cards in the top half of the deck and all red cards in the bottom half of the deck. This shuffle will keep all the red and black cards together. But it is not a complete false shuffle, because each half by itself is shuffled. This is a very useful move for effects like Out Of This World, Oil and Water, and other others.
