One of the great principles in faro shuffling is the stay stack principle. Allan describes what the stay stack is, how it should be shuffled, and how to get into a stay from new deck order.

runtime: 3min 16s

Usually this force is described using a knife as in the Amateur Magicians' Handbook. However, anything flat that can be inserted into a deck works, for example another playing card or a business card. Steven includes several applications and finesses to this wonderful force.

runtime 6min 43s

The faro shuffle allows for a very easy way to stack cards.

runtime: 1min 23s

Get your break on a square-up action.

runtime: 58s

Secretly switch one card for another during a selection process. (Also part of Move Mastery 3.)

runtime: 4min 43s

This is a side steal from a spread rather than a squared up deck. It combines ideas from Ed Marlo and the deliberate steal and Jack MacMillen. You will also learn how to side steal a face up card including a cover deck turn motion which will make this completely invisible.

runtime 10min 50s

Use the action of spreading and closing a deck to cover a pass. (Also part of Move Mastery 3.)

runtime: 3min 54s

This is a practical multiple card control. (Also part of Move Mastery 3.)

runtime: 4min 24s

This is a pretty color change that is self-working. It can also be used for a change out. The underlying principle was first discovered by Alex Elmsley. Ed Marlo turned it into a self-working color change.

runtime: 1min 11s

This move was developed by Allan Ackerman. You start out with a convincing type of control. By angling the card correctly you can have it automatically end up in a left-hand magician's palm.

runtime: 2min

An instructive warning to those who must play for stakes. Interesting amusement for those who do not.

Excerpt from the Foreword:

This book is nicely illustrated by Charles Remmers from photographs by the author. It contains a description of cheating at the popular Australian game of Two-Up which makes it unique.

This is an application of the [lp16424 Spooky Altman Trap] with the Bottom Double Drop by Brother John.

runtime: 1min 21s

This is Ackerman's variation of an Art Altman double lift. It can also be applied to multiple lifts and makes for a very 'light' and fair handling.

runtime: 1min 9s

Duffie published this move first in Card Compulsions, but it is one of these moves that are better taught in a video, even though it is a really easy move. (Also part of Move Mastery 2.)

runtime: 3min 52s

Let a spectator peek a card from the deck and catch the break with your little finger. This is a very deceptive method and avoids the over-used line "pick a card".

runtime: 1min 16s

Tony Slydini used this move for his famous helicopter card trick. A card is stolen into a Tenkai palm while it is inserted into a fan.

runtime: 56s

This is an Ackerman variation of the Zarrow Shuffle to eliminate the initial center block cut of the classic Zarrow Shuffle.

runtime: 1min 35s
