The deck is held face up.  Get a break under the top two face up cards as you pick up and place the first Ace onto them.  Double or triple cut so that those cards are cut to the back of the deck (i.e. if the deck was turned face down the first ace would be third from the top).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just repeat that sequence for each ace:  get a break under two cards, add the Ace, and double cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have &#8220;lost&#8221; all of the aces, the actual condition of the deck when held with the deck face down, from the top is : xxAxxAxxAxxA&#8230; and the rest of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Split the deck for a faro shuffle, and perform an in-faro.  The deck is now stacked so the aces will drop on the sixth hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven hands is like doing five hands.  The difference is that instead of four cards between the three aces there are six cards.  The last Ace adds three cards instead of two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start with the Aces face up on the table, and the deck held face up in your left hand.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get a break under the sixth card from the top  of the face up deck as you pick up the first Ace. Place the ace on the face of the deck and then double (or triple) cut it the the back of the face up deck.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat step two for the second ace, but add a final cut.  So after cutting the ace to the seventh from the top, note the new face card and remember it.  Then give the deck a single cut, cutting just about eight cards off center. The cut of portion will be about 18 cards.  Cut that to the rear of the face up deck.  This centers the first two aces in the deck.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat step two again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat step two again, except instead of having a break under six cards, hold the break under only three cards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The situation now is that if you turn the deck face down, there are three indifferent cards, an Ace, six indifferent cards, an Ace, about 18 indifferent cards, the key card you noted in step three, six indifferent cards, the third Ace, six indifferent cards and the final ace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The key card will be near the center of the deck.  Holding the deck in position to split it for a faro shuffle, locate the key card and split the deck there so the key card is part of the upper half.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now do an out faro, keeping the top card of the deck on top.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are now ready to deal seven hands of poker, with the seventh hand getting the Aces.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional additional thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can generalize the above for dealing odd or even numbers of hands.  For odd numbers of hands (3, 5, or 7) you take a break under the number of hands minus 1, and on the last ace the break is under the (number of hands -1) \/ 2.  On the odd number of hands you note the key cards after the second ace and cut it slightly off center so that it will be near the middle of the deck when you split the deck for the out faro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For even numbers of hands (4, 6, or 8) you take a break under the (number of hands\/2) -1.  With the even numbers you do not use the key card, you simple double cut all of the aces to the top of the deck and then do an in faro.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was a &#8220;problem&#8221; I gave myself.
