Greg's stack will be published in his forthcoming book The Devil's Staircase. I believe there's a thread elsewhere in this section talking about it.

Notice that you're not counting the votes for Sam The Bellhop. |

Whoops. My bad. Just realized that you had shortened the name of Sam the Bellhop in the list. I use it occasionally. Sure it's a one trick pony ( no pun intended) but it's amazing how much people flip over a few false shuffles and cuts.

As for me, what first got me hooked on stacks was the basic Si Stebbins stack (CHaSeD order) that I found in a library book. I still use it at times when I perform a trick that works perfectly well with the Si Stebbins stack, but I've abandoned CHaSeD order in favor of SHoCkeD order, which makes a lot more sense to me.
When I discovered Richard Osterlind's BCS I immediately fell in love with it and used it whenever I could. I eventually switched over to Doug Dyment's DAO stack. However, later I memorized the BCS (making it MBCS for me), so now BCS has once again become my main non-Si-Stebbins-like stack. As for memorized deck work, my first true memorized deck was Joyal SHoCkeD (after trying to learn the Nikola stack and subsequently giving up). Then I learned and dabbled a bit with Doug Dyment's QuickerStack (which I still use every once in a while). Some time later I was inspired by Martin Joyal's work to create my own stack, and soon after that I memorized Osterlind's BCS/MBCS stack (as I mentioned above) which is now my main memdeck. To summarize: For non-memdeck work, I use the BCS, with occasional use of the traditional Si Stebbins stack in SHoCkeD order. For memdeck work, I use the MBCS (the Memorized Breakthrough Card System). Overall, if I had to pick just one, I would say I use Osterlind's MBCS stack. |

I use a stack of my own which was inspired by Doug Dyment's "Quikstack." Karl Fulves published it in "Prolix #8." Many of the classic Si Stebbins quick ways to know how many cards are removed from the deck also work with this (as they would with Doug's stack). I find that combination together with knowing where any card is in the deck (and vice versa), makes a nice combination.
I've used almost all the simple cyclical stacks at one time or another for particular situations. Lately I often use a version of Docc Hilford's "Syndrome" deck using "8 Kings". This is very nice as the deck can be both riffle-shuffled (face-up) and overhand-shuffled (face-down), without ruining the way the deck works. Of course, this is not a true memorized deck. |

Richar Osterlinds breakthrough card system.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.
