What is a faro shuffle?

[Julio88]

A faro shuffle is a technique used to shuffle the deck of cards. It involves splitting the deck of cards into two equal halves and perfectly weaving them together so that each card from one half alternates with each card from the other half. The result is a perfectly shuffled deck of cards. It is generally deemed sufficient to perform a faro shuffle four times in blackjack since the suits don't matter in the game. Casino dealers typically use a mechanical card shuffler to shuffle the deck nowadays, but the faro shuffle remains a popular technique among card enthusiasts.

The technique involves splitting the deck into two equal halves and then interweaving the cards perfectly, one by one, to create an alternating pattern. The result is a deck that appears to be shuffled but is actually in a specific order.
