John Walton is my friend and partner in producing the Gold Seal Bicycle Playing Cards.
On August 14, 2009, at the Magic Castle, using the Gold Seal Bikes, John broke the Guinness world’s record of perfect faro shuffles in a row. If you miss you’re done—you can’t start over. This adds pressure and requires unbelievable concentration.
The old record was 1200 perfect faros in twelve hours. John Walton did 2784 perfect faros in a row in twelve hours. He kicked the old record off the planet!
Congratulations, Faro Man!
To all my Gold Seal Bike users: Starting January 1 2010 to order Gold Seal Bicycle Playing Cards, please visit John’s Web site: www.WaltonMagic.com

Blimey. Did he finish in new deck order?
Yes he did! And if he would have missed even one perfect faro that’s where it would have ended.
