Farrow Shuffling a Deck of Cards

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Pete Perata here with you today and you are learning how to shuffle cards at Expert Village. Well now we are going to get into one of the harder shuffles to do: The farrow shuffle. Farrow shuffle is definitely a expert shuffle and you need to practice it a lot in order to get it down. The farrow is one of the most difficult shuffles to do. If you don't get it down in the first couple of times you try it keep going. It is a very nice shuffle to do once somebody could get it down. In order to do the farrow, grab the deck with your two middle fingers on the outside of the edge on the outside edge of the deck and your thumb on the inside. Split the deck very much like you would do with the straight riffle shuffle except retain your deck in your fingers. So that by pinching in with the middle fingers and thumbs of each hand you allow pressure. Bring both of the edges of the card together and doing your best push each end into each other like so. Beginners will often need a little squiggling motion in order to get the pack on the right into the pack into the pack on the left. The better you get, the less squiggly motion you need. "
