Faro Jester transforms your iPhone or iPad into a complete card manipulation laboratory. The app provides real-time visual feedback as you practice faro shuffles, allowing you to step through each weave card-by-card using the Faro Animator. Split your deck into top and bottom packets, then advance one card at a time to understand precisely how out-faros and in-faros interleave.
Load classic memorized systems like Si Stebbins or build your own custom stacks. The Stay-Stack analyzer checks opposite mates, identifies mirrors between deck halves, and verifies unbroken runs. Every position in your 52-card deck is tracked with mathematical precision, showing you exactly where each card sits after every shuffle.
Create cue sheets with patter beats and faro counts, then export them as one-page PDFs for performance reference. The Bring to Position solver calculates the shortest in-faro and out-faro sequence to move your target card to any slot. Everything processes locally on your device—no cloud sync, no account registration, and complete privacy for your practice sessions.
Faro Jester was built specifically for practicing magicians who need accurate deck mathematics without internet connectivity. All calculations happen directly on your device using proven faro shuffle algorithms. The app respects your privacy by never transmitting practice data or requiring login credentials.
See your complete 52-card spread with real-time updates as you execute out-faros and in-faros. Drag handling notes across the baize and watch packet positions change instantly.
Load classic systems or build custom orders. The Drill Arena tests your recall with scoring feedback, helping you internalize stack positions through repeated practice sessions.
Enter your target card and desired slot. Faro Jester returns the shortest combination of in-faros and out-faros needed, then lets you replay the sequence on the stage.
Visualize restore periods for 52-card decks, partial decks, and joker configurations. Line graphs show exactly when your deck returns to original order after repeated shuffles.
Write performance notes with setup instructions, shuffle sequences, and patter points. Export as printer-ready PDFs or rehearse in the Drill Arena for timing practice.
Everything stays on your device. No cloud accounts, no data transmission, no usage tracking. Your practice routines and custom stacks remain completely private.
