A right-handed practitioner holds the cards from above in the left hand and from below in the right hand. The deck is separated into two preferably equal parts by simply lifting up half the cards with the right thumb slightly and pushing the left hand's packet forward away from the right hand. The

An out-shuffle has the same result as removing the top and bottom cards, doing an in-shuffle on the remaining cards, and then replacing the top and bottom cards in their original positions. Repeated out-shuffles cannot reverse the order of the entire deck, only the middle n−2 cards. Mathematical

two packets are often crossed and tapped against each other to align them. They are then pushed together on the short sides and bent either up or down. The cards will then alternately fall onto each other, ideally alternating one by one from each half, much like a

An in-shuffle has the same result as adding one extraneous card at the top and one extraneous card at the bottom, doing an out-shuffle on the enlarged deck, and then removing the extraneous cards. Repeated in-shuffles can reverse the order of the deck.
124:, the above method was used, and he calls it the "faro dealer's shuffle". Maskelyne was the first to give clear instructions, but the shuffle was used and associated with faro earlier, as discovered mostly by the mathematician and magician 1712: 1701: 1149: 139:
A perfect faro shuffle, where the cards are perfectly alternated, requires the shuffler to cut the deck into two equal stacks and apply just the right pressure when pushing the half decks into each other.
85:, in which half of the deck is held in each hand with the thumbs inward, then cards are released by the thumbs so that they fall to the table interleaved. Diaconis, Graham, and Kantor also call this 1285: 1041:
discovered that a controlled series of in- and out-shuffles can be used to move the top card of the deck down into any desired position. The trick is to express the card's desired position as a

Notice that it doesn't matter whether you express the number ten as 1010 2006: 1967: 1940: 1913: 1598: 1513: 1551: 1447: 1144: 1107: 1486: 1417: 1571: 354: 334: 207: 187: 100:
Mathematicians use the term "faro shuffle" to describe a precise rearrangement of a deck into two equal piles of 26 cards which are then interleaved perfectly.

For example, if one manages to perform eight out-shuffles in a row, then the deck of 52 cards will be restored to its original order, because 1269:{\displaystyle {\begin{pmatrix}1&2&3&4&\cdots &2n-1&2n\\1&n+1&2&n+2&\cdots &n&2n\end{pmatrix}}} 3337: 755:
The following shows the order of the deck after each out-shuffle. A deck of this size returns to its original order after 4 out-shuffles.

If one can do perfect in-shuffles, then 26 shuffles will reverse the order of the deck and 26 more will restore it to its original order.

The following shows the order of the deck after each in-shuffle. A deck of this size returns to its original order after 3 in-shuffles.

A flourish can be added by springing the packets together by applying pressure and bending them from above. 3516: 3303: 2091: 1060:; preliminary out-shuffles will not affect the outcome because out-shuffles always keep the top card on top. 3629: 3461: 2817: 2813: 3799: 3198: 3168: 2750: 2516: 2362: 2323: 3308: 2991: 2768: 2129: 984: 937: 890: 843: 796: 707: 681: 620: 566: 3401: 3053: 1783: 1300: 3270: 3260: 3138: 3118: 2936: 2733: 1972: 1019: 1012: 1005: 998: 991: 972: 965: 958: 951: 944: 925: 918: 911: 904: 897: 878: 871: 864: 857: 850: 831: 824: 817: 810: 803: 742: 735: 728: 721: 714: 695: 688: 674: 667: 660: 648: 641: 634: 627: 613: 601: 594: 587: 580: 573: 3794: 3265: 3113: 3063: 3043: 38: 3650: 2474: 2316: 2207:
