Anti-Faro

Alex is an up and coming magician. Don’t believe me? Here is a video of him doing a move that is very difficult and doesn’t have any applications. My kind of stuff.

Gregory Wilson was lecturing in Cardiff, Wales about 6 months ago and actually demo’d a great triumph effect utilizing the anti-faro.

Nailed it first time as well.

Greg mentioned releasing it in his next set of lecture notes.

Of course he credited Christian Engblom fully

Lloyd.

P.s. love this blog!

Though I don’t have the book with me, I can tell you Juan Tamariz has applications for the anti-faro in combination with his memorized deck that can be found in Mnemonica. I am not a practitioner of the memorized deck so I cannot give you specific details either past Juan using the anti-faro as a false shuffle.

Christian Engblom also has a dvd in which he explains the anti-faro, but I am not sure about applications.

In the second phase of David Williamson’s Aunt Mary’s Terrible Secret, the anti-faro could be used instead of jogging pairs individually but this requires the cards alternate in colour.
