Hey guys, I'm new to this forum.  Anyways, I have been practicing the tabled faro on and off for about a year now.  I'm curious if there are any tricks that will help me execute the tabled faro better.  Here is a video of my exact skill level. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZTmofyTbeI  please (if you are educated about this move) give me some advice.  Thanks,   Yorb Sterling

I wish I could evaluate your skill level - I'm at work, without access to video feeds of any kind.

But I do know of this video, which I've heard is VERY good (and not expensive at only $12.95 for the download, no DVD version), of a master of the art teaching the tabled faro shuffle.

As for me, I can't even table shuffle yet, so you have me beat hands down!  :))

I haven't practised with that move much, but I will say that video is pretty damn impressive. Congrats on your work thus far, it definitely is showing.

Honestly, I have no idea.  There may not be a record on record.  Check with Guinness.

Wow, very nice performance. Is your goal to be able to achieve it perfectly practically everytime of is it just to be able to shuffle the cards more or less perfectly through this type of faro?

Hope keeps people alive. For me I like faroing just to shuffle the cards, but also to showoff my skills by getting it perfect almost every time.
