Just received my copy from Nicolas and may I say he did a fast turnaround, I had it within 10 minutes.
I have been doing the Faro for over 2 years now and am very proficient at it. Looking through this book I can see it will further my knowledge in this field. Thanks for bringing this out. |

I see on your Facebook that you will soon be doing a lecture tour in Europe. Will you have "Physical Books" in English and/or Spanish rather than the Ebook to buy at the lectures? Also, Do you plan on a lecture tour of the US at some point? (Maybe by then you could have vol 2 done and translated plus in physical book form) Just wondering. Thanks

Just finished reading Faro Poetry.
Nicolas Pierri’s writing clearly show his enthusiasm for the faro shuflle and its possibilities. For me it was useful to read how to correct 25-27 cuts and interesting to note how a card can be controlled to any position. Effects I liked were: Otero Sandwich revisited Do You Believe in Coincidence? Why Are Some People Banned from Casinos? As Steven Keyl already noted the material presented here will be of interest to a broad cross-section of faro workers. |

I recently purchased Faro Poetry from Nicolas and wanted to take an opportunity to post my thoughts following an initial read through. Overall, I've really enjoyed the ebook. There's a lot of great material within, from strolling effect to full blown close-up pieces. Nicolas certainly didn't leave anything to be desired with the pieces he chose to include. The witty and humorous banter throughout the book makes you feel like your sessioning with Nicolas, which was great.
As has already been mentioned in the posts above mine, there is really something for everyone. There are great tips for faro 'beginners'. His writing style really encourages the reader to learn the Faro Shuffle and put in within anyone's grasp. He also includes additional finesses that any performer can utilize. I really enjoyed these! One of my biggest struggles when learning the Faro Shuffle long ago was getting a perfect cut. What I hadn't considered, and Nicolas has, are strategies if your cut is off. He offers some great advice for when your cuts aren't perfect. Instead of fumbling, you just continue the shuffle and end with a perfect faro nonetheless. I think this is a great utility for any performer to have because there will always be times where the cut just might be off. Some of my favorites effect were "You Find It" which combines principles from Fulves and Elmsley that gives you, from my perspective a CAAN feel without the need for a stacked or memorized deck. "Three Mistakes" gets three spectators involved where apparently you mess up finding the cards and bring the trick to a successful conclusion. What I like about it is that it sounds like a sucker effect, which I hate, but presentationally isn't a sucker effect, which is a good thing. The Guide Deck section is really interesting and exploits properties of the Faro Shuffle in different ways. As I mentioned above, there are some great close-up pieces with full presentations. You call tell that Nicolas has put a lot of time into not only the methods to the pieces, but also into the scripting and overall presentation. In sum, it's clear that Nicolas put a lot of time into this work. It's a relatively quick read, but will give you a lot of food for thought. The principles discussed are insightful and challenge the reader's creativity to develop his own effects. To the beginner, much insight is provided to start his work on the Faro Shuffle that could help before diving into the deeper waters of Marlo and Elmsley among many others. Definitely a recommended read. |

That is a great presentation. I have not ordered the book yet, but I will get it... Steve's review is very detailed, and from other reviews I read from him, he is always very accurate with his reviews. I think lots of members of the Café, including me, value his reviews very highly. So, coming from him, and having checked a couple of the videos from Nicolas, I think this book is a must have for anyone working with faros (either memory work or poker demonstrations).
