Yes, I'm referring to the move but no, not the book.
A number of Youtube videos have been put up. IMO this is one of the best. It's perfect after adjusting one card!

I know most videos of this type are just for demo purposes but I find it funny that most people who do the move execute it and then do a bridge to put everything back together effectively negating the move!
In terms of practical application, stripping the cards out after the move by pulling them apart might seem too obvious — assuming you wanted to get the deck back to pre shuffled/weave state. I mean you do that with the anti- faro but then you'd have to separate and cut.
One idea I had is after you do the anti-faro, while the cards are now effectively a perfect faro, is to lay the 'weaver' on a table and finish with a push through shuffle. I think of it as one step back, two steps forward: 'back' being the anti-faro, (carry me back to old virginity!), and the 'forward' part is picking up the push through shuffle mid-stream by finishing and then pulling out and slapping. No. Not that.
Mad skillz on both. But if you can do the anti-faro then I think you could probably execute a good push through shuffle with some practice. Just my .02.
Full disclosure: I cannot do either move. The push through shuffle interests me and I'm probably going to buy Jason England's Foundations DVD in the near future.
Note: Not being intimately familiar with the anti-faro I don't know what state the cards are in after the move. I'm wondering if there's enough air between the cards after it to accomplish a push through shuffle without undue fiddling with the deck. Maybe someone who does this move, even if you're still just practicing it, could weigh in on this.
Thanks,
Peter
