Steps
- Sort the cards into four face up piles, each pile consisting of a single suit in order from the back (A) to the top (K). So when you hold a pile in your hand face up, the Ace is next to your palm and the King is the visible card.
- Set the hearts, spades and diamonds aside for a moment.
- Take the clubs and divide them into the following three groups:
- Ace to six, 7 to 10, and then the Jack, Queen and King
- Pick up the Jack, Queen and King and move the Jack between the Queen and King.
- Pick up the 7 to 10 pile and interleave the Queen, Jack and King between the 7, 8, 9, and 10 so you end up with the cards in 7, Q, 8, J, 9, K, and 10 order.
- Now pick up the A to 6 pile and interleave them into the 7, Q, 8, J, 9, K, and 10 pile so you end up with:
7, A, Q, 2, 8, 3, J, 4, 9, 5, K, 6, 10 - Move the 7 from the bottom to the top so you have:
A, Q, 2, 8, 3, J, 4, 9, 5, K, 6, 10, 7 - Holding the clubs pile face up in your right hand, pick up the diamonds pile in your left hand and Faro shuffle the two piles face up together, keeping the 7 of clubs on top.
The order of those cards after the shuffle are: AD, AC, 2D, QC, 3D, 2C4D, 8C, 5D, 3C, 6D, JC, 7D, 4C, 8D, 9C, 9D, 5C, 10D, KC, JD, 6C, QD, 10C, KD, 7C - Place the face up spades packet on the face up hearts, and then Faro shuffle those with the packet that has the 7C on top. Keep the 7C on top as you Faro shuffle
