Something I learned from Richard was mimicking casino procedures of 3 riffles before cutting, which requires learning to cut the first packet in your opposite direction. Pushing through an entire packet squarely to come out the other side directly into another riffle is…really really hard lol. It’s so worth. Something else I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere is what I have dubbed “Richard’s Ridge”. When you have two packets squared up to faro together, you first glide out the bottom card of the bottom packet approximately 1/4”-1/3” towards the other packet. This gives you a “ridge” to assist with starting the weave. Not everyone wants to punish themselves with table faros, but if anyone reading this wants to know what I’m talking about, you can observe the move in Richard’s Fool Us performance. I’ve tried to learn more about it but I can’t find anything.

The tip on sandwiching the upper packet between the lower packet helped ease my practice. Thanks mate!

Great video! I'm a big fan of the push through shuffle too, however I also think that the zarrow shuffle is worth knowing. In my opinion the push through shuffle looks best when the audience is sitting opposite you, while the zarrow looks better from above, like if they're standing up around you. When doing the push through shuffle I like to cut them so the packets are equal, but if I sense that they're binding I "air" the cards before the strip-out, simply by squeezing the deck lightly. This results in some air coming in between every card which makes the strip out easier, both when stripping out forward or to the side for a second shuffle. But this is just my preference, and not necessarily better, just a matter of taste. Again, gret work, I really enjoy your videos!

im no magician but i like watching pen and teller, and when he appeared on fool us, i noticed his shuffle didn't really mix the cards, since after the shuffle, the deck wasn't clearly squared up. instead, the "push through" method was made and it was quite obvious. i'm not sure if it's only me or maybe the general public doesnt really see the difference from the normal procedure. even the one handed shuffle, he didn't really square up the deck.

P.S. I'm not looking down on richard turner, i'm very amazed by his craft and him as a person, i'm just stating what i was thinking while watching his performance.

As a suggestion, please video your tutorials from the POV of the magician/performer instead of the observer. I find it very difficult to follow what you are doing when you give verbal directions from the POV of the performer but the video is from the POV of the spectator. Everything is reversed and I feel like I know what a dyslexic person might experience.
