  • There's easier ways of doing it. Left hand on the bottom, right hand on top with index and pinky keeping the cards squared. Corner of cards in right hand come in at an angle and you just work it in with hardly any pressure. You don't even need to push the middle with and index finger. I learned it in less than a day, and got it constantly within 3 days, now I don't even need to look at the cards.

  • awesome video youre the best i subbed you

  • shit i almost go it

  • did it 1st time. then again, im a magician.

  • for whatever reason my cards don't seem to even want to start intertwining... is it me or my cards or what?

  • omg i dne it first tym lol mate if ur still using your channel i need some tips on the hot shot cut tutorial ....cnt do tht bit with my lil finger...if anyone else can help feel free to reply to my comment it would be much appreciated

  • At the end when he said you should crack this in about a year i was like :/

  • I loved that video : )

  • I loved that video : )

  • hey thanks for your videos, and the dedication. im sure that you are a great manipulator and magican!!!

  • i dont get this. i got it on my first try while i was watching the video. its not that hard

  • i have them cards you got them from a poker set

  • dont work :(

  • not even lying i learnt this in about 20 mins ;)

  • the bitch of the shuffle..errr sorry

  • Still very nice Paul

  • Mate I could do that in one day of learning this shuffle I do it completely differently aswell and I still get perfect faro's

  • lol did it within the first 3 goes, not years, nuff said :P

  • @TheMagicalkids You sir, have just failed.

  • @TheMagicalkids how do you know he meant that kind of pharaoh and you're an idiot for correcting someone and then making another spelling error

  • Wow, it didn't even take me 10 attempts to get this down

  • wow after about ten times i did it perfect and now i have a feeling i probably wont ever be able to do it again..

  • Comment removed

  • i'm getting pretty good at 52 card pick up....

  • All I've got is a shitty deck of plastic coated playing cards, I need a real deck.

  • @xSeiZmikx Can't go wrong with a Masters Edition deck.

  • Naboo?

    

  • Wow first 3 times i done it was almost a perfect one :) there was one card out of place on all 3 times but fuck yea thats a fun shuffle... That now also helps with one of my card tricks :)

    Nice tutorial

  • US players are able to play real poker on pokerview

  • There are a few ways of performing this shuffle, but let me say right now, that this is the best I've seen. I've been practising card magic for over a year and can perform perfect riffle shuffles and fluent overhand, hindu and false shuffles, but i've never managed to do this shuffle.

    I saw this video, did it right first time, and now can't not do it right!

    Thank you.

  • lol at how he said at the end, "should crack that in a few years...good luck"

  • This is super easy with KEM cards, bycycle cards are a bitch :/

  • I did it first time, perfectly.

  • I tried it I got it about 10 percent. It was like pushing 2 blocks of wood together. So frustrating

  • A few years!! I want to do it NOW

  • Amazing explanation!!!! very well done. great attention to detail.

  • a few years? WTF?!?!

  • i did it in my first time but idk how to do it again -__-

  • haha i got this first go but haven't been able to do it since

  • 0:02 BITCH ?

  • Woah...that's so perfect!

  • haha i did it my first time haha!! :)

  • @norbac88 that was my reaction on my firs time too. I started counting to see how many I could get, and I only managed 20 in 2 weeks. It was frustratingly hard. Practice it and you will have it consistent. You would be surprised at the results.

  • not to hard, not easy by a longshot but id say this was moderaterely easy and im at probably intermediate with cards

  • helped a lot. Thanks

  • i was getting consistant fairly even ratio shuffles after about 45 mins.. was using standard 808s and destroyed 3 decks.. picked up my black ghosts and boom were flowing nicely.. i guess the cards REALLY do make a difference for these sorts of shuffles.

  • Nobody "cracks" a perfect faro in 5 minutes - or a week. A perfect faro means deck split evenly, 26/26, and cards woven perfectly with no clumps of two or more cards. It takes months of practice to do it consistently and unerringly and anyone claiming otherwise is talking nonsense.

  • nice

  • I Cracked that in 5 miuetues -_-

  • Download the theory11 tutorial "Faro Shuffle by Homer Liwag" at: faroshuffle.gu.ma

  • It took more than 100 hours to learn my faro shuffle (over a six month period), great tutorial

  • nice tutorial !

    but you shouldn't be so discouraging in your video.......

    anyway really good tutorial!

  • I had to try over 10 times before i got it since i aM 11 and the cards were plastic coated. oh and one tip, when you do the faro shuffle, to speed it up, make the edge of the left half faace the back of the other half and wriggle your way. up and down and up and down.

  • lol this was soo freakin easyy !! thx very much

    i had it in 2nd try

  • excellent Ive been trying for a couple of months with no real luck your video is the best and now I can do the shuffle every time , thanks

  • haha i did it from the first time

    

  • U sound like noel fielding mixed with tom hardy lol

  • This is called a Pharoah Shuffle you tit!!!

  • @Drenson1609 No it's not.

  • @andrewjspeirs yes it it.

  • @Drenson1609 No its not. Noob.

  • @froastforcemagician yes it is. Noob.

  • @Drenson1609 Its Faro. But perhaps you didn't notice "Faro" and "Pharao" sound very similar. And if you would've bought the trilogy, you'd notice that it IS Faro.

  • @froastforcemagician Its Pharoah - not pharao. Faro sounds like Fa-Row and Pharoah sounds like Fair-row.

  • @Drenson1609 I wonder why everybody except for you says it's Faro and not Pharoah oder Pharaoh or what ever you want to call it. d-.-b

  • @Drenson1609 Its Faro shuffle... I guess you are new to cardistry

  • @EJ920 And new to the pronunciation of the major airports of Portugal too from the looks of it!

  • @Drenson1609

    It's Pharaoh, not Pharoah. Lol.

  • I tried it and a card cut my finger, wtf.

  • the bitch of a shuffle

  • cool

  • thx 

  • i cant do this one, my cards never move and i nearly ripped my king of hearts

  • this is soooooo hard!! lol

  • Thank you so much for this video. I have been struggling with this technique for about a week but using your technique I got it immediately. You also have a very nice voice and sense of humor.

  • great commentary

  • no kidding, the first time i lifted up a six of ♠ too

  • well,, i say it is not that hard once you get the technique.. i just discovered this shuffle out of boringness.. and perfect it within 20minutes.. but anyways, one tip is that you might want to put a little force on your right hand to create the alternating card sequence.. really cool shuffle.. nice tut..

  • I've noticed BEE cards flow well with faro shuffles better than bicycles for this particular shuffle.

  • Thanks mate, good tut. :)

  • fantastic! 5*

  • it takes some time but is worth it.

  • why did you use a (bee) deck

  • @DooMERful why not?

  • oh my god! excellent tutorial! i learned it in 3 minutes! gratulations!

  • rofl it worked on first try XD waas just luck but it worked on my first try

  • I did that with pringles - BEAT THAT!

  • my fingers are too small so i did it differently :p

  • It's not "ferrow", it's faro. Bitch.

  • lol at how he said at the beginning, "So here we have the bitch of a shuffle."

  • Comment removed

  • lol, he DOES say bitch

  • learn how to spread before u make a ferrow bitch

  • *laugh* Love the presentation style of this.

  • Not a perfect shuffle. The cards MUST be cut at exactly 26. Your shuffle had a different number in each packet resulting in what's called a Straddled Faro Shuffle.

  • works MUCH better with new decks.

  • absolutely!!I tried this with old deck its not so perfect anymore..cause its old...plus the riffle sound isnt good with the old deck either

  • after watching 12minute videos i didnt get it..

    with the 4th viewing of this i got it

    amazing

  • holy shit dude.. got this on my 5th go after watching this tute.. its not perfect.. but its a better attempt then my go at the riffle shuffle.. THANKS HEAPS!

  • I don't get how to do it! WHen I try to do it, the cards don't split up. They're all clumped together.

  • lol it wasn't perfect i saw 1 mistake, but i understand how annoying this shufffle can be

  • 2nd time.:-D

  • i got that in 1 minute!!!!.....yeeeeeaaaa!!!! thanks man!!!! fuckin cool

  • lol wow i wasted 30 minutes of my life "pivoting" the cards the wrong way.. xD almost got it now~

  • why do this shuffle as apposed to a riffle shuffle

  • because it interlocks the 2 packets PERFECTLY. a riffle shuffle won't do that unless you're REALLY REALLY good.

  • omg first time tried and i did lol

  • nice man.

  • im just wondering and i dont mean to sound like a ass but, how hard of a time are people having with this shuffle, i got it on my like 4 or 5 time and by my tenth i had it perfect 90% of the time, is that abnormal?

  • This is because I told you exactly how to do it. I'm pretty sure he had to learn through trial and error that there needed to be an angle, twist, and a certain hold in order to do it correctly and that would take quite a long time. Also, with card flourishes, it's really a hit-or-miss thing on how easily you'll get it so take that into consideration. Personally, I did it right on my second try but I would've never guessed how to hold it or angle it if he hadn't mentioned it in this tutorial.

  • i did this without the tutorial months ago, i just saw the name of this in a magizene and didnt know it was this.

  • no. I learned it the day before yesterday and today I can already do almost perfect.

  • Thank you i going to use this in my next card trick! xD

  • got it on my 5th try

  • Thanks!

  • thanks buddy for such a nice tutorial

  • a perfect explanation!!

    much better than all the rest on youtube.

    thank you.

  • You Dont have to bend the deck. If u want a good tutorial, look it up on Theory 11 1-on-1

  • i got it the 4th time but im pretty sre it was luck

  • Thank you very much for this explanation! It helped me alot. :D

  • Man, whenever i try, i only get the top 6 cards to interweave and the rest just stay the same.

  • same here

  • very good tutorial.

  • hey thanks . i figured it out when you learned to me.. thanks 5/5

  • This video was REALLY helpful (though I didn't get it on my first try) it took me couple of tries to do it, but I amazed myself. I was like, "whoa!!! I did the faro!" 5stars, great tutorial!

  • to be honest.. this wasnt that hard for me to figure out lol

    i just cant do that hot shot cut.. that ones hard as hell for me

  • i have cried myself to sleep tryin to learn this lol

  • ehm, for a perfect faro u will need exaxtly half of the deck... it does matter big time

  • Great video, dude.  I also got it on my first try. *****

  • GOT IT FIRST TRY 5/5

  • this is a good beginners video.. this is how i started.. but once u get the shuffle perfected, u dont need to bend the cards and push down on the corners..

  • Very good. Buth.. the bottom and de top cards are of the some paquet.

  • getting them to interweave is one thing, hitting the perfect faro everytime is a totally different ball game. you didnt hit the perfect faro in either one of the demos, unless a card was missing from the deck. and tkmagics, im willing to put a years wages on you not hitting a perfect faro everytime on your first go, thats just a ridiculous claim!

  • OMG thanks so much!

    got it on my first try, i can do it perfect al the time now

    5/5 and favourited. i also subscribed :P

  • "B**ch of a shuffle, I mean..." Very accurate.

    "Never get a hand modeling job.." actually, the black on black make you hands and card easy to see...make it better to see what going on...great job on the vid and thanks.

  • lol with my stiff cards i´ll never be able to do this xD

  • lol i have same bee deck

  • Not available anymore :( Oh no

  • thanks, this took me about a week to get down. it finally worked just now for me

  • nice begginign ver funny lols

  • honestly i do not thnik its that hard i av managed to learn it in about 2 weeks and thats like 20 mins a day its not as hard as the hot shot cut

  • accuatly to shot the card in hot shot cut is harder then this O.o, i can do both kinda perfect and, yeah the hot shot cut was harder.

  • lol to true this is a bitch to do!! 5/5.

  • this is dam hard lol, thx for the tut.

  • Well done ;D

    Great tutorial

  • hey how long did you take?

  • did he say you should crack that in a few years...it takes that long to learn that?

  • sarcasm :)

  • still i cant do this shuffle hahaha

  • I don't know y u are saying that it took you long to master it:| . When i first found out of this shuffle i did it almost perfectly in one try. Oh, and for the beginners: If u want to learn it quicker do it with a new deck.

  • wow this is very cool!

  • i tried it with my old deck n it didn't work out very well but when i bought a new one it worked very easily so i would recommend a new deck for this one

  • Just great. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • does this trick has to be with a deck with the edges of the cards squared? (regular-shaped cards)

  • OMG this is about make me cry as well T_T; thanks for the vid though.

  • Looks good, I can't do it though, good tutorial though, well done. 5*

  • I did a perfect one on my first try. Not that hard but really cool thanks for the tutorial!

  • i just can't do this, i dont't know if it's normal but i can only do the one handed version?
