Cardistry Bootcamp - Basics / Faro Shuffle Tutorial

[Music] in this video we'll be teaching you how to do the Faro shuffle which looks like this so to begin you want to start in end grip then you're going to do a slight weight grip placing your left index on the top of the deck and you're gonna shift your ring and pinky slightly upwards allowing your right hand to contact the bottom left and bottom right corner of the deck like so so here you have your thumb on the left index on top ring and pinky on the side so this allows you to slip the back of the deck into two packets then you're gonna slide it down until you reach this position where your left thumb and your right ring can grip this packet like so you're going to do this because you want to regrip with your right hand you're going to shift your index so that it contacts the top of the bottom packet like so once you hear you can split the two packets and you're left in this position here you have your index on the top to make sure that while you Faro cards don't slide out from the top similarly on the right hand you have your pinky on the bottom for the same function making sure that cars don't slide out from the bottom so once you reach this position and you've got the grip down you're ready to do the Faro and so what you're gonna do is you're gonna contact the bottom left corner of this packet and the upper left corner of this package together and you want to have an angle slightly upwards so that the cars can more easily weave together you also want an opening on the right here making sure the two packets aren't parallel right so once you're in this position you can lightly press the two packets together and the cards should naturally weave one by one like so alright once you're here I'm gonna push the two packets together slightly so they overlap for a couple centimeters for the Ventus playing cards that's around this color stripe right here once you're in this position you're going to open up your right hand grip the deck with the thumb on the bottom and your middle and ring on top then you're going to use your left index to bend the cards inward like so once you're here you're going to slightly release your fingers on the bridge should naturally occur in each other then you just got to square up and complete the pharaoh shuffle a lot of people have trouble weaving the two packets together this technique is one that is very hard to be described by words but we have a couple of tips to help you better increase your chances of making it work so the first is to ensure that there are no spaces between the cards of each packet and you can ensure that by pressing downwards onto these packets with the index of each hand the second tip is that you want to make sure that your packets are square before doing the fair so you can knock the two pages together like so to square up the decks our third tip is that while you're doing the Pharaon you want to slightly rub the two packets in opposite directions together you want to do this because this this move works because of how the cards slide into the space between the cards of the other packet and so rubbing the two pegs together naturally makes it more likely that one card will slide into these spaces and the desk and that the rest will follow and that's our tips for the very shuffle [Music] [Applause] [Music]
