Well, I have memorized the Aronson stack and now its time to actually buy a book or two to put it into use (other than the obvious 'think a card & count down to this number'). In particular I am interested in finding memorized deck material that, if possible, doesn't completely destroy the deck order.
Since I am already familiar with the Aronson stack, hopefully you can help point me to find the more impressive effects that utilize that stack the best. Thanks.

Try Martin Joyal on his work. It is supposed to be excellant. He has an ad here at the Café.

How about trying some of Simon Aronson's works? Look for Bound to Please, Simply Simon, and Try the Impossible. They should keep you busy for a while.

Workers 5 by Mike Close has some GREAT mem-deck stuff (that keeps the pack in order.)

Scott Cram is the go-to guy for memorized deck research. Check out his post in this thread. Incredible. (Thanks, Scott!)

Get Bound to Please first and learn Histed Heisted, Center Cut location, group shuffle, etc. there is a wealth of information in there on aronson's stack and IMO stack work is the most POWERFUL card magic there is if the specs don't know what a mem stack is. you can perform some impossible feats with this method. then go on and get try the impossible...another gem.

Scams and Fantasies by Darwin Ortiz contains some very powerful effects utilizing a memorized stack.

I agree with Doug, Mike Close has two terrific routines that are also on his "Very very Close" video series. One is the worlds cleanest ID (since you don't use a gimmicked deck in the traditional sense) and the other is called "The Smiling Mule". Both would fool most magicians.
