Hi
I’m looking for effects to be performed with a deck stacked in numerical cyclical order A to K, A to K, etc regardless of the suits. I know I’ve seen a few just I can’t remember when or where Thanks

That's a special case of a "tetradistic stack." Alan Ackerman makes use of this principle in his memorized deck work. Try a Google search for that term - The results will include some discussions here on the Café.

Thank you
I did the search indeed. From what I can understand, the “tetradistic stack” refers to any stack where the cards cycle in patterns of 4, ie Si Stebbins, 8 kings, etc. When you faro shuffle twice such a deck, it becomes a stack where cards are arranged in groups of 4: four aces, four twos, etc. However that’s pretty different from the stack I am actually asking. Thank you very much for replying, Maxi

So they are two stacks 😉
One before the Faros, other after the Faros... Good luck

It's a stack with a patterned underlying structure (which I think are the best stacks available). Having the cards run A, A, A, A, 2, 2, etc. is not (presumably) the memorized stack.
