How long does the procedure take? In actual performance. Some routines involve multiple faros, or only one, but the directness of the shuffle is key, ei, not something that looks procedural, or possibly stacking. Just one simple shuffle.

There is are many Pit Hartling effects that you would not be able to use this for. But in other cases like maverick by Woody Aragon, it's perfectly acceptable. |

Ok. It's not just running 26, then full deck milking is it?
Man, I sound like I'm fishing, lol.

If there's no dealing then you've piqued my curiosity. I may just have to indulge.

I made a download, just going to see if I can compress it and then I will make it available.
For $1.00 nobody has anything to lose. And I understand that sometimes people pay $15-$30 or more for an effect, then you are disappointed, so I have been there, so $1.00, doesn't hurt the budget at all. I will let you know ASAP about the download. Alex

I am not at all implying that Alex doesn't know his stuff - he does. But I am quite curious. I read this entire thread - and no I am not fishing - but I am guessing that this alternate approach wouldn't serve for effects like Paul Gertner's Unshuffled for instance?
Steven Youell has been working with me on my Faro and my success rate skyrocketed in hitting it - after too many years of missing. I am still not ready to tackle all of that Paul Swinford stuff or the vast number of effects that featured Faros in The Linking Ring when Charles Hudson was at the helm of Card Corner. (I recently scored a ton of Linking Rings). So yeah, I am with Sean on this. I am not fishing but I am imagining that this technique is good for one Faro but not multiples. Still, I just might purchase this if Alex makes a download. I am intrigued and will be following this thread closely and looking for news of a download. Namaste, Vlad |

Hey guys,
I have converted the MOV file from my IPOD to an AVI file, then I compressed it from 283 MB to only 68.7 MB. I am in the process of uploading it to Dropbox, will that work for you all, or I may find another solution as well. This isn't really hard to do, and its not rocket science, it will allow you to do an IN or OUT FARO, and also for example from Woody Aragons Maverick routine, the FARO he deos before executing the 1st phase of MAVERICK, in which he cuts the number of cards the spectator left on the table. I have only really used this technique for 2 of Woody Aragons effects: MAVERICK, from his Book in English, or Penguin Lecture, and Weighing the Cards, from his WoodyLand DVD. I have been in contact with Woody, and have Skyped with him, and he advised that he gets many people that contact him, that cannot do the FARO, and that they say its a shame, that some of Woodys effects require a FARO, and Woody just told these people to keep practicing. When I showed him my technique, which anyone can do by the way, he as grinning from ear to ear, and he said it was possibly the best alternative for those that did not want to bother with a FARO. I am not 100% sure it will work with all effects that require a FARO, but hey its relatively inexpensive to find out. The price is only $1.00, so you don't lose much, plus if you purchase the download and feel it was a waste of your money, I will personally make sure you are taken care of, trust me. I will send you a free ebook of mine, your pick from a list of about 5 or so. Thanks Alex OK, so that being said, let me get this uploaded and I will advise

I'm sure glad Alex is a Mentalist, so doing a traditional perfect afro wasn't an obsession, which allowed him to develop this technique. The spectator doing the work is a thing of beauty! Alex, well done! Zombie |
