Faromania - The Big List by Mats G. Kjellstrom
It´s strange, but I have a strong addiction to do faros shuffles: in the hands, tabled and one handed. Below you can find my big list with faro things I have found in books, videos and on magic forums. If you find any errors, typos or "missing" effects or books, please, post your comments here. Enjoy. Mats G. Kjellstrom Sweden *** "A friend of mine picked up a deck of cards and said he was going to show me a faro trick. I took out a gun and shot him."

Hi Matt,
I have a powerful love/hate relationship with the Faro. You present a stunning list. The only thing I would add is Dead Reckoning by John Bannon although I prefer Dawn Patrol due to the ease of setup. Many thanks for your titanic effort. Regards, Paul H |

Most of my books have Faro tricks within, but the following two books have Faro a-plenty magic:
1) Explorations (book on Free-Cut Principle, Automatic Placement etc) by Paul Gordon 2) Second 16th Card Book, by Tom Craven & Paul Gordon Paul Gordon |

Wow, thanks for the effort and the lists.
![]() Oh yes, don't forget George McBride's trick in Scotland Up Close where combination of the Penelope Principle and Faro Shuffle. Really kills! ![]() Andrew Loh Posted: Mar 2, 2007 10:37pm ---------------------------------------- Yes, I miss out one, my friend Shannon Clark (he is quite frequent in this forum) I read his effect few months ago and yes, using Faro Shuffle and the effect I thought was awesome and killer too. I am still performing his effect today.

Paul Cummins' effect "Punken Droker" from 2003 makes use of the faro shuffle (it doesn't have to be perfect).
It was in Steven Youell's "Cogitations". |

Truly a great list. To help toward "completeness" - just current thoughts without really checking: The title is The Card Classics of Ken Krenzel, written by me.
I believe that Paul Gertner's Unshuffled first saw the light of day in my Best of Friends, Volume 1. Teaching the Faro Shuffle in Close-Up Card Magic. In Trend Setters: Would It Be A Miracle?, Without A Clue, and more. In Quantum Leaps: The Non-Faro Faro. And good luck finding a copy - of The Linking Ring Magazine - March, 1964 - my One-Man Parade - all 4-ace routines, all utilizing the Faro Shuffle. HL. Posted: Mar 13, 2010 3:40pm ----------------------------------- Oops. How could I not list my own What A M-E-S! out of Personal Collection. It's one of the best applications of a faro - for me. Then there are the "Unique Peek" effects and Absolutely Impossible Location in that same book. HL.

Hi, I'm starting to practice the faro. Can someone tell of a good trick or use for the faro? I think if I knew its applicationT I would have more "motivation" and practice it more regularly.
Until now I only know "Fourtitude" by Mr. Harry Lorayne which is great. I fooled myself! I have some books that are in this incredible list, I'll have a look. Thanks. Apr 11, 2010 11:24pm ------------------------------- Found the faro info on The Collected Works Of Elmsley vol II chapter 6. Now I'll sit and read ![]() Still I would like recommendations. Thanks! |
