Looks great, might have to purchase it. Does anyone already have it? I have no doubts that it is excellent work, Jason has quite the reputation (the Founder's series was excellent!).

I already have it. It's great. You should buy it...twice.

I need to point out to anyone that has purchased it, that I mis-credit Ed Marlo with a method for controlling ins and outs with the tabled faro. The proper credit should go to Charlie Miller. The method involves faro shuffling on top of another card for those of you familiar with the idea.

I'm very impress by your push through during a faro table. I knew this solution if we do some mistakes. But, in your hand, it's very smooth. When I try to do a push through, there isn't a lot of air between cards. Even on a "good" surface, I need a little group of card to the bottom (maybe 5 or 6) to facilitate the action of pushing the cards. With a faro table (where there are only one or two cards to the bottom), I find it's hard to do a push through. I have to work, and work again...

Congrats for this video.

I actually put a feather onto the table to remind me not be so heavy handed when I am learning something new.

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Part of this could be due to the increased amount of friction between the cards. Sure, not having a bed hinders a push through shuffle, but can still be done. With a perfect faro you'll end up with 26 cards touching each other, making it difficult to execute the shuffle. With a push through shuffle setup, you'll have maybe 13-17 blocks of cards, thereby reducing the amount of friction.

I have never been disappointed by Mr. England's releases. This is no exception. between this and martin nash's beyond I think I might finally get this move down.

Mr. Quackenbush believes that there is no such thing as a good magic trick.
