Product Description

At the time, the Marlo Riffle Shuffle Trilogy was hard to get and hard to find for the serious card worker. First, you could only purchase the self-published Trilogy direct from Ed Marlo. Secondly, you had to know someone that had Marlo’s personal home address to request to purchase the Trilogy. In 1959, he wrote RIFFLE SHUFFLE SYSTEMS. In 1964, he wrote THE PATENTED SHUFFLE. And finally in 1967, he wrote RIFFLE SHUFFLE FINALE to complete the Trilogy. We are selling the complete Trilogy and personal correspondence from Ed Marlo:
