i saw some early drafts of the robinson book (and have the snap crackle pop 15 minute dvd - martin is my publisher) - and though i've not got mine yet...i would say get it...

I have a free tutorial on my site. Basic, but it does have all the necessary details.

Take care, Ian

Don't worry so much about the shuffle and work on the stuff you have purchased and make it work for you, (may as well it is yours now).

To what end do you wish to learn the faro for? If your reply is that you would like to learn unshuffled then don't. It is really boring for spectators, magicians love it, magicians will tell you that the spectators love it, they don't. If it is because it looks really cool then practice it in your spare time. It is one of those shuffles that you try and try and it never works, you spend all kinds of time and energy researching it and end up at the same place, then one day you are just playing around with it while your other half is nagging you to do some chore or another and suddenly, much to your own amazement the cards just mesh perfectly together.
