     Method of weaving the cards to land at every third position.
Weave in Fourths
     Using the same method to place cards at every fourth position.
Bizarre Weave
     This one is hard to describe. The cards are weaved together in a pattern that is regularly irregular.

Triple Faro and Beyond
     Notes on using multiple Double Weaves to get more complex patterns.
Facilitated Weave in Thirds
     A much easier method for placing cards at every third position. 
Double Weave in Thirds
     Similar to Double Faro, but cards are weaved together in groups of three.

The K-Shuffle
     A practical method to accomplish the mathematically generalized faro shuffle.
The Perfect Riffle Shuffle
     Notes on using a perfect riffle instead of a weave.
Inverted Rising Card
     The deck is placed into the card box and all cards slowly sink into the box leaving only the selection remaining outjogged.
Ace Production
     Using the Inverted Rising Card as an ace production.
Stacking
     Methods to stack for five, six, or nine hands using the weave shuffles from chapters one and two.
