I built this Faro shuffle simulator for a friend who is really into magic. We figured that there might be a few more people out there that would be interested in trying it out. If if you have any issues or suggestions, email me and I will do what I can. Enjoy!
Update: 13 Aug 2007 - Hopefully you like the new buttons!
Select a deck:
To use the custom deck feature, you MUST enter 104 characters (52 face values + 52 suits). Valid face values are A-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-T-J-Q-K. Valid suits are H-S-D-C. The face value MUST occur before the suit. You can use duplicate cards in your deck if you want to.
Ex. AC4H7STDKC3H6S9DQC2H5S8DJCAH4S7DTCKH3S6D9CQH2S5D8CJH AS4D7CTHKS3D6C9HQS2D5C8HJSAD4C7HTSKD3C6H9SQD2C5H8SJD
(If you copy this example, be sure to remove the space between JH and AS)
Faro Facts:
- The Faro shuffle is also known as the weave shuffle.
- Performing an "Out" shuffle will leave the top and bottom cards the same, whereas an "In" shuffle will change both the top and bottom card.
- Eight "Out" shuffles will return a deck to it's original state and 26 "In" shuffles will reverse the deck.
