After the disappointment of missing out on the chance to perform the shuffle on TV I thought I would at least put up some kind of video to showcase the wonderful concept of the faro shuffle. I hope you enjoy it.

i knew it was possible but had not seen it done before that, nice one, thankyou for putting it online.

Now THAT is very impressive.

My riffle faro is okay... But I'm lucky to get more than one right in a row at the moment. It's certainly an area I need to touch up.

That was very well done, and the music fitted beautifully.

I have to ask though - was that the first attempt? Or did it take more than go at filming?

Thanks for the comments. Yes that was the first attempt - I pretty much have the shuffle nailed now. I was considering putting up a faro shuffle tutorial - any thoughts? Glad you like the music too - gold star for the first person to name that tune.

I wish I knew the name... Then I could have a gold star!

A faro tutorial may be a good idea. I honestly don't know. There's quite a few fine points to cover. I don't suppose it can hurt. Yeah, why not!

Oh! I know! Petit Chien! Whew!

Anywho, very impressive shuffles, there. I like doing that, but stopping in the middle and seeing all of the pairs and things like that

very nice!

Very nice indeed! The Faro is a right pain to get perfect everytime. I remember practicing when the Christmas lecture guy posted on here. I only just got passed half way

Correct! Otherwise known as 'Minute Waltz' by Chopin. Here you go:

Bringing up an old thread but that was nice!

I think you should do the perfect riffle shuffle found in Expert Card Technique on PG65 or the one by Charlie Miller on PG66.

Thanks. Yes the tabled perfect faro might be something to work on *after* my exams perhaps....amongst everything else I have planned to learn.... :roll:

by **MagicalJim** » May 13th, '07, 02:15

That was very impress. How long did it take to perfect?

Thats the first time I've ever seen that done. Absolute class.
