Alex Elmsley on the faro shuffle is something you don't want to miss. *Aiming to become the only magician in the world that has ever produced the lost socks back from the dryer...*

I just got it recently, but it's full of interesting card math. Paul "The finished card expert considers nothing too trivial that in any way contributes to his success..." Erdnase some youtube videos

Brent Morris, Mickey Hades publications. If you are really a math guy, get this book and have fun going over the endless formulas. I have to admit I was not able to finish the book, not from lack of understanding. I just realized I had better ways to spend my time. nir Adventures in ASIC digital design
Hideo Kato Inner circle Tokyo 5649 Posts	Posted: Aug 18, 2003 02:28 pm 0 Brent Morris has authored one more math-oriented Faro Shuffle book titled Magic Tricks, Card Shuffling and Dynamic Computer Memories (1998, The Mathematical Association of America). It is 148-page book, enough quantity for the Faro Shuffle. Hideo Kato
