"Went’s instruction is really excellent. He covers everything you need to know to get started. The production value of the class is also up to par with what we have come to expect from BBM." straighttalkmagicreviews

Nothing is guaranteed to strike fear into the trainee magician’s heart more than the words ‘and then complete a perfect faro shuffle’.

The Faro Shuffle is an elegant technique that mixes two packets, with cards alternating from each hand. A perfect faro means a precise rearrangement of a deck into two equal piles of 26 cards, which are then interwoven perfectly. For many apprentice card manipulators it is a sleight too far. A move too onerous to master, but too desirable to forget.

Well, James Went (star of the bafta award winning BBC magic show ‘Help, My Supply Teacher Is Magic’) is here to put this incredible move into your arsenal. IT. IS. NOT. AS. HARD. AS. YOU. THINK!

Using a simple, step-by-step guide James will show you his bulletproof technique and get you up and running in a flash.

The thorough one hour video download will walk you through every element that you need to master this powerful sleight. It breaks down the hand positions, subtle movements and the necessary choreography into simple steps, that - if you follow - will ensure your practise time is actually improving your skills!

And James even includes THREE killer routines that will take your newly mastered skill and blast spectator’s minds. Stacked Aces requires only a partial faro, so is perfect for performances when you are just starting to make headway with this essential sleight. Then Ace Goes To The Place (by Harry Riser) will show you just how incredible a routine you can unleash just by using a single faro shuffle. And finally, Mental Topper (by Ed Marlo) is a truly crushing routine that will fry absolutely ANYONE who sees it. James uses this to destroy magicians! Once you see it, you’ll see why!!!

Great teacher

He explains each step very thoroughly and uses a Bicycle deck to do it too so that's most helpful.

Don�??t Fear The Faro

I was impressed with James Went's instruction and the excellent filming on the Ultimate Self Working Card Trick series and similarly this Faro download really helped me iron out a few issues I had with doing the Faro. The tricks included are very good too.

Clear and very useful!

You are gradually guided and the instructions are absolutely clear! I am improving in mastering this technique which, with no training, can be really challenging. Thanks James!!

Best Faro resource I've found

I have a bunch of Faro video and written tutorials, and this one helped me crack it the most. Hitting 20/20 now with this technique. Very clearly explained and demonstrated, definitely worth it.

Great resource to learn the faro - even if you can read!

I already was almost(!) confident with the faro from top to bottom, but struggled with the faro from bottom to top. The advice in Ed Marlo's Book didn't help much, but this download did!
The explanation was super-clear and to the point. The chapters and the content was very well organized. The TOC is displayed at the beginning of the video with time code. So no big search for the relevant information.
I do almost always prefer books for technique over video ' but this download was as good as the best description you can find in books!
BTW ' my Top to Bottom faro also enhanced with this download (although nothing is taught on it in the download) just by appliying the right pressure and angles.
Thanks James Went for teaching me the faro :-)

I will never Fear the Faro again - Fabulous Teaching as one would expect from James Went

Fabulous Teaching and some great routines. Mental Topper is a killer effect and will slay Magicians and Laypeople mercilessly. I do a lot of card mentalism and mental magic and this combines both. Love Mental Topper its worth the price of entry alone.

As for the bread and butter of this release though the teaching of the Faro is first class. After just a week of practice I am now reliably hitting Faro after Faro.
There are some really nice touches and a step by step approach to the technique which helps to speed up the time it will take to acquire this technique.
Big Blind media never dissapoint and you will get the Faro down if you follow this approach and as mentioned above some killer routines as well. Mental Topper in particular.

What you waiting for - Just buy it.

Useful additional explanations on the subject.

I have other items on the Faro, but this download gave me additional explanations and advices to better succeed my Faro.

Don't Fear, Buy Now!

James Went is such a patient, deliberate, methodical instructor. He is right, learning the faro through books is tough. His step-by-step instruction with practical tips and high quality BBM camera angles will helps one with handling quickly. My faros are not yet perfect, but they're almost there. Cannot wait to apply to mem deck which I memorized during recent sheltering at home. Thanks to BBM and James!

No Brainer

A few admissions upfront. I'm a huge BBM fan and I get happy watching anything by them. Also, I'm not new to the Faro.
With that said, BUY THIS!
The Faro shuffle was always a hit and miss affair for me so I never got to a point where I would be confident enough to perform an effect utilising it. With the tips I've picked up with this download (and some practice), I am now at a 9.9/10 hit rate.
James Went is an excellent teacher and I am confident that even a complete newbie will get the hang of it in record time (with some practice of course). I just wish I had access to this download 20 years ago!
There are some killer effects included and at the price it is an absolute steal. If you're even slightly interested in learning the Faro, or going from being iffy at it, like me, to mastering it, this is indeed an absolute NO BRAINER!

Worth Every Penny!

Mental Topper is worth the price of this download on it's own. I could already Faro pretty well, but James' tips on getting a 26 split were very useful. I've fooled the guys at the magic club with Ed Marlo's trick already. Thanks James and BBM for another great download!

Faro

I always wanted to learn the Faro and with this download I now can, because of the very good explanation by James Went.
I'am not there yet and still have to practise but I'am sure that with this explanation I can do perfect faro's in a short time.
This is a move to practise as John Bannon says at the airport, because at the airport the only thing you can do is wait.

OMG, it works!

Never could do a faro shuffle until this came along -- I'm still clumsy at it, but the cards are doing what they're supposed to do! Many thanks to James and BBM for thorough, clear, thoughtful teaching.
