I've decided to take the plunge and design my own stack. I'm in a bit of a creative block right now trying to figure out what features it should have (I know, I know, Aronson says to quit waiting for your dream stack and that most of the best memdeck tricks are stack-independent... I'm going for it anyway), so I thought I'd throw this out there as a possible idea for what features your dream stack would have.
Poker demonstration... Any hand called for Blackjack demonstration... guaranteed no 21s dealt (to build suspense for what the dealer gets) Bridge demonstration... perfect hand No limit hold'em demonstration... Someone wins on the river Quickly Reverting to new deck or some other aesthetically pleasing order Quickly Reverting to another stack? Spelling effects Quick 4 ace production Being two faros away from Play It Straight Triumph, Sam the Bellhop, etc. Ok, I'm totally reaching, but I was wondering if anybody else had any ideas about features they'd love to see in their perfect "dream" stack... |

Most of the marketed ones already have those features. I have only met two people in my life that played bridge. I remember seeing a computer program that could let you experiment with stacks, shuffles, cuts, and deals (I wrote one similar a long time ago). Something like that might really help you with this kind of research.

I ended up settling on this feature set, so now it's just trying to find a way to make all the features fit together in one stack.

Yeah, I've got it at home on the computer. The main problem is that I have to synchronize a whole lot of features, and from reading the manual I'm not sure stackview can really help me with some of them.

Learn to do a great punch deal and you will have miracles.
"The New York Papers," Mark Twain once said,"have long known that no large question is ever really settled until I have been consulted; it is the way they feel about it, and they show it by always sending to me when they get uneasy. "

I would be amazed if you could get your wish list into a single stack... but then I have been amazed before.
However, all but the three below CAN be done with the Aronson Stack: Quickly Reverting to new deck or some other aesthetically pleasing order Quickly Reverting to another stack? Being two faros away from Play It Straight Triumph, Sam the Bellhop, etc. And take heart, deck switches are not that hard with a little forethought. Dennis Loomis
