Magic Tricks

This effect is good, I think. But I have a problem with the promo. It says no faros are required. This just isn't true. He does not mention an alternative to the faro. And his teaching of the faro is skimpy. More detail would have helped. How much angle? How much pressure? He's vague and says that it pretty much "happens automatically." Really? Not helpful advice that, though his advice to angle the cards is helpful. I can do a table faro with a single deck, but two decks is another matter. I've worked on this 100+ times. It does not happen automatically. Yet. Maybe it just needs more work. Maybe I'll go for a regular faro which seems easier. I like the effect enough to keep working, so I guess that it is a plus for Electro.

A side note: working on faros, I've found that regular faros (butting ends, etc.) are easier with new decks. For some strange reason (in my experience, at least), table faros are easier with older, worn decks. I think it has to do with the stiffness of the cards. So . . . maybe try using old decks if you decide to do Electro (?)
