I have been faro shuffling cards for 50 years, and I am always impressed when I can easily
"Faro" a deck fresh from the box.
I feel that this is an important feature for an
outstanding deck of cards.
I found that it is NOT easy to faro shuffle these cards
right out of the box, in that regard they remind me of a fresh Aviator deck.
Of course
,advanced card magicians can probably faro anything.
Other than that, the cards are
delight to handle.
I sometimes wonder if faro style affects the ease with which a deck shuffles out of the box. I faro in hand, bottom to top, and feel like I have more control with this deck than any other.
