I was playing with the Marlo Matching Routine (Ackermann faro shuffle video)using the stay stack principle. does anyone from you know more effects with the stay stack and where I can find them?

Thank you.

"RedivideR" by Phil Goldstein is a book full of effects that exclusively use the Stay Stack principle.

Doesn't the Martin Nash Routine OVATION use the stay stick principle also?? I can't remember, it's been a few years since I watched his tape or did the routine...

Yes, it's on vol 1 of the A-1 videos.

The most extensive treatment of the StayStack Principle is still the source material. A magician by the stage name of Rusduck published a journal of magic called "The Cardiste", back in the fifties. There were 11 original issues. It was republished as a single volume, in the eighties, and a twelfth issue added. It should be available in one form or another from the used book dealers. Rusduck was entranced by the possibilities of the Staystack, and explored many avenues in his magazine. I would start there.

Best, PSC

You can also check out The Collected Works of Alex Elmsley Vol.2 and Swinford's Faro Fantasy/More Faro Fantasy.

In Apocalypse, there are a few fabulous effects. Including a great mathematical Oil and Water routine.

Simon Aronson provides some information on the stay stack principle in connection with his memorized deck - a memorized deck is a stay stack already. Interested readers will find the information in the chapter "Memorized Math" in his book "The Aronson Approach".

Bumbleface, Any idea what volume of Apocalypse this is in. An author or name would also help.

This wouldn't be any relation to Quine's Keeper principle would it. I know Tom Kraven put submitted some material on this for the Apocalypse.

Thanks.

I second the, "Aronson Approach," one of the finest stay stacked/any stack book ever.
