The Faro Shuffle is a card shuffling technique that interleaves two halves of a deck perfectly. In this method, the deck is split into two equal parts, and the cards are alternately interwoven, starting with the top card of one half followed by the top card of the other half. This creates a perfectly mixed deck, where the order of the cards is predictable after a specific number of shuffles. This shuffle is named after the gambling game Faro, which was popular in the 19th century. The Faro Shuffle is often used in card magic and games to ensure a fair and random distribution of cards. It is also notable for its mathematical properties, as it can be analyzed using combinatorial techniques.
