Ver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPQEF24XWAc para el efecto.

Pasos

1. Clasifica las cartas en cuatro montones boca arriba, cada uno de un mismo palo, en orden desde atrás (A) hasta arriba (K). Así, cuando tengas un montón boca arriba en la mano, el As estará junto a la palma y el Rey será la carta visible.
2. Dejemos los corazones, las espadas y los diamantes a un lado por un momento.
3. Tome los palos y divídalos en los siguientes tres grupos:
4. Del as al seis, del siete al diez, y luego la jota, la reina y el rey.
5. Recoge la jota, la reina y el rey y mueve la jota entre la reina y el rey.
6. Toma la pila del 7 al 10 e intercala la Reina, la Jota y el Rey entre el 7, 8, 9 y 10 de manera que termines con las cartas en el orden 7, Q, 8, J, 9, K y 10.
7. Ahora toma la pila del A al 6 e intercalalas en la pila del 7, Q, 8, J, 9, K y 10 para terminar con:
   7, A, Q, 2, 8, 3, J, 4, 9, 5, K, 6, 10
8. Mueva el 7 desde abajo hacia arriba para tener:
   A, Q, 2, 8, 3, J, 4, 9, 5, K, 6, 10, 7
9. Sosteniendo la pila de tréboles boca arriba en su mano derecha, tome la pila de diamantes en su mano izquierda y baraje las dos pilas boca arriba juntas, manteniendo el 7 de tréboles en la parte superior.
   El orden de esas cartas después de barajar es: 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
10. Coloca el paquete de picas boca arriba sobre los corazones boca arriba y baraja con el farolillo las cartas con el paquete que tiene el 7C encima. Mantén el 7C arriba mientras barajas con el farolillo.

Note that in the video, the performer starts the deal by moving the top card to the bottom and then dealing the next card to the table. With the cards stacked as above you start with the top card dealt to the table and the next card to the bottom

About the Faro shuffle

The Faro shuffle is a techinique that causes two packets of cards to interleave every other card, aka a “perfect” shuffle. There are a lot of youtube “tutorials” on the technique, some good, a lot bad. Thre is a knack to being able to do a perfect Faro shuffle, and it comes with practice.

Here are some links:

An alternative trick to the Da Vinci card trick.

If you don’t want to stack the entire deck the the following is also a good trick. Stack the Clubs as taught above, except don’t move the 7.

Place the clubs on top of the rest of the deck, the rest of the deck being un-ordered. Place the deck in your card box and you are ready to begin.

Take the cards out of the card box and hand the deck to the spectator. Have them do two riffle shuffles. It is important that they do riffle shuffles and not overhand shuffles. The riffle shuffles simple distribute your stacked clubs throughout the rest of the deck.

Now use a Magician’s Choice force to force the spectator to “choose” the clubs suit.

Spread throught the deck, face up in your hands, and upjog the clubs as you come to them. Strip them out of the deck.

Set the rest of the deck aside.

Hand the packet face down to the spectator and have them start by placing the top card to the bottom of the packet and then deal the next card face down. They continue dealing bottom – down, until all of the cards have been dealt.

Turn the dealt pile face up and ribbon spread them on the table to show that the spectator has put the cards into numerical order.
