It is algorithmic in the same sense as Joyal's, but is much more easily learned (I claim half an hour for the full stack). I know lots of performers are using it. Truly memorizing a stack has some definite additional benefits, but it's a considerable amount of work (indeed, an impossible task for some), and has no fallback if you forget an association in the heat of performance. By contrast, an algorithmic solution *always* works, and if you use it regularly, you'll find that you soon "know" all the card positions anyway. Much more appropriate for the not-yet-full-time-performer! ... Doug

I bought Doug's book just for QuickStack and I wasn't disappointed. Great stuff Doug!

Many 'miracles' are possible with this stack, coupled with faro shuffles. For memorized card work, a good primer would be any of Harry Lorayne's books, in particular, "How To Develop A Super Power Memory," or "The Memory Book" with Jerry Lucas.

I worked on the Aronson Stack for awhile, and now use the Joyal Stack... it's easiest to learn, easiest to recall after some time away from the stack, and his description of the method to learn it, is very high-yield.
His book is the Six-Hour Memorized Deck and it really can be acquired in six hours spread over four days. Michael Close's Workers #5 has some great ideas for memorized deck effects, if you're looking. :sun: |

I use the stack out of Michael Skinner's
"Classic Sampler". The beauty of this stack is that you can open a brand new deck of Bicycle brand cards, give them five perfect out-faros and you're ready to go. Another great advantage is if you do a couple effects with your MD and retain the order, do a three more perfect out-faros and the deck is back in new deck order. So what they've witnessed is, brand new deck, well shuffled, blow them away with a couple MD effects, well shuffle deck again, and deck is back in New Deck Order. Kills. Take care all, gord |

Let us never forget Nine Jacks Hate Severe Queens For Five Threaten To Ax Sick Kings with its suits randomized based on odd or even from the previous card. Even, you go Same Color-Opposite Suit, and Odd you go to C-H-S-D. The suits and colors are randomized by this ploy. Regards, Gregg Webb
