There is a simple false cut that I like to do on off beats, those times when the spectator attention is not riveted on the deck. Although, done properly and with the spectators at the right angle this is an excellent cut that closely mimics a single fair cut.

Here are some more false cuts. These are in the class of false cuts that look like multiple cuts but in reality simply cut the deck once, leaving the deck as if it was simply cut once. These are useful when dealing with a stack such as Si Stebbins, or Eight Kings.

In playing with the Faro Shuffle simulator I noticed that it takes only three faro shuffles to move the card that is seventh from the bottom of the deck to the top. I am sure that someone else has written about this, but here is my take on using that fact as a card control,

Below is a table showing patterns of Faro shuffles that will move a playing card from one location to another in a deck of 52 playing cards. This table was generated using the formulas in the paper “The Solutions to Elmsley’s Problem” by Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham (The Solutions to Elmsley’s Problem – Stanford University ).

In writing the Faro Simulator I used formulas for generating the in and out shuffle patterns needed to move cards from and to the top of the deck. These patterns can be seen when using the simulator but I thought it would be useful to see them all in a table.

El barajado Faro es una técnica de barajado que permite que dos paquetes de cartas se intercalen perfectamente. Es decir, solo se suelta una carta de cada paquete a la vez, alternándose con una carta del otro paquete.

Sin embargo, es una técnica que se debe dominar, y factores como el estado de las cartas, el agarre de los paquetes, la presión y los ángulos también influyen.

Utilizo dos barajas apiladas diferentes: la de Si Stebbins y la de Osterlind. Con la de Osterlind, realizo varios efectos de lectura mental y luego me ofrezco a demostrar cómo un mazo de cartas usa la baraja, barajando las cartas terminando con cuatro ases arriba. Así es como lo hago.
