I get close but then I find a two, one ruining the perfection. I'm reading Ed Marlo's wonderful instructions. I just hope that one day, just once I could do a perfect faro because even being slightly off is enough to ruin the trick. And if it's perfect, then you can keep shuffling until you come right back to the same order.

Is there a different technique one must use to turn a competent riffle into a perfect one? And can you do it 'in the hands'?

Ok that's enough questions.

It really isn't that difficult to learn the Faro

Spend an hour or so getting the hang of it and then practise regularly and its simple.
