I have made a little video of stacking, I am a beginner in stacking so I'd like to have some criticism
I have choose a random number of player and a random "sucker", and have make the calculation to do it in less shuffle possible.

If some of you have "challenge" for me, don't hesitate, I will do a video as soon as possible.

The difference between your normal riffle and your table faro is very obvious. Your table faro looks pretty much nothing like a normal riffle shuffle. If you want that to play, I hope faro shuffles are common at the table where you sit. If you expect to use this on a standard poker table, remember that there's a rail and you can't use the edge of the table like you do here. Also, sail the cards.

Other than those things I think it looks OK. What I like to do as a challenge is to determine the number of players by rolling a die just prior to dealing. You're unlikely to need to calculate things that fast in the real world, but you never know when a player might drop out of the game just as the deal gets to you.

On another note I'd recommend getting a shirt that fits. Your sleeves seem way too long.

Not bad for being done on a smooth table.

I don't see why it would be necessary to sail the cards. Obviously it is a video just to show the stacking procedure. I'm sure the tabled faro looks better on a mat.

Oh sorry, I forgot to answer.

Splice, I agree with most of your comments, and thank you very much, I have used the edge because I have did it on a hard surface so...

The Dowser, thank you
