Hello all,
I'm working on an effect, and i need to be able to control a card to 26th from the top. the strongest method i've found of doing this is Marlo's Incomplete Faro Control.
Alternatively i've used a corner short and riffle forced the 26th spot for the return of a card, but the faro control fits my story better.
However i am wondering if there are any other ways to control a card to 26th from the top?
thanks,
Sam

Control to top, run six cards, Out Faro, In Faro. No need for exact cuts.

Hi Jamie,
thanks, i like that a lot, i was pleasantly surprised when i tried it and found it worked. Especially since i did very non exact cuts.
thanks,
Sam

Harry Riser has a very good method in one of his books. It might be Escomateur.

Although it will work for the 26th position as well I've got a technique I call the Delayed Faro Control which allows one to put a selected card in any position with one or two faros. The full explanation is available here:
