Hi everyone. Just uploaded a video on youtube of me doing some perfect faros, for people who would like to kill some time.
Btw, you cheaters out there, do you ever use a perfect faro when going for the money? Best Regards, Kim http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PodGyH_4-5c ps. Do you find the tapping of the deck a big tell that I should get rid of? (tapping the halves to square them up after the cut) |

Hi again.
Sorry for posting again but I just uploaded 2 more videos. Feel free to give me feedback as usual, I just want to get better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLYfjKh9Dew There is a false shuffle sequence. Keeping track of 4 queens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK-HNCHNw6s Here is my awful awful greek. Just posted it so I could get advice. I know the set up is _horrible_ and unfortunately it is not the same grip I usually use, it is the erdnase grip. I have tried to modified it to my grip but I haven't suceeded. Yet atleast. Hopefully I will or find another deal that suits me better. take care. Kim |

Well Kim you never stop impressing me with your technique... The tabled faro shuffle look great to me, I'm no expert in tabled faros at all so I cannot give proper advice. As far as the tapping of the deack, it could be a tell if you don't regularly do it after each cut to start shuffling, but if you do it naturally and often it would fly by most people.
As far as the sequence is good, it is really good although I like more other sequences like using the stevens control, but Its just me. It looked very good the sequence overall. Concerning the greek deal well the setup is right, I mean it could be less setup, but it ok, as I recall Darwin Ortiz does similar setup with similar actions and as far as I know Ackerman does the same. The only thing that should be addressed I think is that in the deal you notice that the card is comming from the bottom of the deck. Maybe it is becouse of the lower fingers, becouse of the card is dealt paralel to the floor instead of angled up, or becouse there's a huge distance between the bottom and the top card when using a complete deck or just the Erdnase grip that does not offer much cover from the sidde. Maybe you should work on that deceiptness before start looking for a solution on how to reduce the setup. Best Regards Pablo

Thnx for your reply pablo.
Why do you prefer the stevens control? This is a brief shuffle anyway, everytime I shuffle the top cards get burried so I don't really understand. About the greek, I only do this because it is quite easy to do, I do not intend to learn it really well as I don't like the grip and some other things. It is just for demonstration for now. Take care Kim |

Well Kim I like the stevens control, and its variations becouse It allows you to shuffle the cards and loose the cards under control in the middle of the deck and allows you to legally and indoubtely cut the deck in a regular way, there's no aparent brief in the sides neither on the front.
But you did the sequence very very well indeed, and it looks so real anyway. I understand you about the greek deal and I don't like the Erdnase grip too, it looks funny in my hands, the same as the straddle grip. It does not look natural to me, so that's why I use Master Grip. I use the very same greek deal ackerman teaches, and I assume is the same get ready as Ortiz does but using Master Grip and a strike method, so it mimics every movement of my bottom deal and of course of my second deal and my top deal as I use the very same grip and the very same take of the card. Take care Kim, Keep up those deals and false shuffles rocking. Pablo

I got a piece of advice that is for the real world. People notice how you personally handle cards and your actions. When shuffling, stacking, seconds, bottoms, false cuts, etc., perform them as you would normally do. It makes no difference if you tap, smack, or whatever as long as you ALWAYS do it. Hopes this helps. Steve

Pablo I get the same results with this sequence as you get with the stevens control in that case. Everytime I shuffle the top cards get burried and then I can give a straight cut from the middle if I want or shuffle them back on top. I chose to shuffle here.
Steve, I don't shuffle the same way everytime eventhough I am not cheating, I have never done it. Not before I started practising cheat nor after. But I guess it is just something I have to do. Then I get into an immediate problem. My push through and zarrow will not look the same... I have thought about it and have not found a solution either. Take care |
