Farrow Force

I actually use it to make a giant fan force. Something I devised and use...I have found it to work really well.

In gambling it can be used to help stack cards. It can also be made into a false shuffle.

One of my favourite uses for a perfect Faro is:

Start by putting the deck in a known or necessary full stack. Then, do two Reverse Faros. The deck will be shuffled in appearance, and two perfect Faro's will reset the stacks. This has an UNLIMITED amount of uses.

Also, if you do exactly 8 perfect Faros in a row, your full deck stack will be retained.
