I normally use the method of turning numbers into letters (market, rooms, phone numbers, etc.). I learned that on the derren brown book, trick of the mind. But I use this on my everyday life...
When I learned Mnemonica, I didn't want to use this method because it would complicate my life, literally. so I went on the Tamariz methods... the music and the drawings did the job for me. But the method mentioned by Vlad its a good one, memory works on images... |

Dear John,
Lots of good ideas in this thread. I learnt the Nicola stack many years ago and still use it. I learnt it using mnemonics. I practiced it by when driving around, I would note car numbers and then convert them into cards. I also recite it when I'm trying to get to sleep: I usually get to the end before I nod off. I learnt it by suit, by various combinations of numbers i.e. 1 11 21 31 41 51 etc., forwards and backwards. Eventually you will forget the assocatiions and you will instantly know which card is linked with which number and vice versa Hope this helps. Keep on practising. The MEM Deck is an item that you need to keep constantly in your mind by regular practice. |

I found that marking the backs with a sharpie was not just useful in memorization, but was also a help in getting a lucid grip on how faro shuffles and the like affected the order of the cards.
The one thing that finally got me to cross from mnemonics to straight memorization was when I started playing my own variant of solitare using stack numbers instead of the actual faces of the cards. For some reason that helped me make the connection better than anything else I was trying at the time.

I heard from a friend that anecdotal evidence is actually quite reliable. |

I re-learned the aronson stack with the sharpie on the back of an old pack method. First with 5, then adding in more as I was doing better.
Once I got the whole thing down (took about 3 hours one Saturday morning) I learned the stack forward and backward (so that I'm not even thinking of the numbers). After that I found an iPhone app that I practice with daily. |

I have been using the mnemonic method and also sometimes sing the cards out to a repeating song or melody in my head. I did 5 cards at a time. I find breaking the cards into manageable chunks to begin with helped.

The brute memorisation method works quite well to me. You can use FlashCards to help, too.
