    Tally-Ho Discontinuations

    Tallys have been a question for awhile due to a thread on the Cafe fourm and inconsistent statements. Reps from USPCC are saying it will be discontinued, then its not, then it switched to only the circle backs being discontinued since they are not as popular as the fan backs, and then back to...

    What you think?

    Its cool. I have 8 tats myself. Me personally i just dont like the location. I like to cover my tats with ease, wearing a long sleeve shirt in hot weather is not my idea of fun. I hope you though long and hard about this tat. I planned mines very carefully and got ones that has real...

    Tabled Faro

    Practice. It takes a feel that is achieved through trial and error. Sometimes its the fault of the cards and/or the handler. Marlo in RCT discusses on how to calculate your faros when discrepancies happen by using simple math on Pg 178, if you choose not to restart the weave. The table...

    Tabled Faro

    Without giving too much detail your thumbs really dont matter where they are placed. There are a bunch of ways to faro it aint even funny. I could place my thumbs any where and still achieve the faro, the way I learned the thumbs are more of a guide. I usually have my thumbs at mid deck...

    Tabled Faro

    yes it does play a factor and then it dosent. The more jacked up the cards the more difficult it becomes and the more discrepancies you can get in your weave. It also falls on the handler if they are not using proper techniques to achieve the weave. Cards that are sticky and/or with damaged...

    Bottom Dealing and Knuckle Flashing

    the flash comes from the push out action of the bottom card. Reducing the amout of flash comes with a great deal of practice and time. What makes a good bottom deal IMO is keeping all your deals looking the same (top, seconds, bottoms) meaning your grip and take. Tempo is really...

    Richard Turners Gold Seal Bicycle Deck...

    "traditional cut" cards starts at the card face and punches through to the back. As a result, a sharp edge is created on the backside of each card and a rounded edge, which facilitates easier card shuffling, is formed on the card's face. ex: table faros and one handed shuffles...
