Hey guys!
I've been using the Si Stebbins stack for years and it's been alright. I've always known about Mnemonica but never learnt it off by heart. My question is simply, should I switch? What are the advantages of switching or am I better of sticking to what I know?

If you haven't actually memorised it (that is assigned a number from 1 to 52 to each card and viceversa), you can use both Galasso/SiStebbins AND a memorised deck (which not necessarily needs to be Mnemonica) according to what you wish to perform on that occasion. Let me know and we can continue the discussion if you wish Mark |

As you said, easy to use and you are spoilt for choice for tricks you can do with it and for finales (my favourite is Mating Season by Denis Behr!). But Up the Ante is another one. Or I do Neither Blind Nor Stupid by Tamariz and then Galaxy by Paul Harris ... Just some things I do with it. At that point destroying the stack is not an issue ... What do you do with Galasso/SiStebbins? As for a proper memorised deck, you have another world of stack dependent or stack independent tricks which can seem miracles to the audience. Hope this convinces you in starting your journey in the MemDeck world ... Mark |

Should you learn a MEMORISED STACK instead of sticking with the Stebbins system? Anyone who has bothered to learn ANY stack will surely agree that the rewards amply justify the effort. 2. WHICH stack should you learn? Mnemonica is just one of many out there. There are plenty of threads discussing their relative merits |

I read somewhere that you should pick a card effect you like and then learn the stack that allows you to perform the effect. I should also tell you that I learned Mnemonica and am now looking for effects that perform with Mnemonica.
