I would recommend Joyal's Six-hour Memorized Deck. I really did memorize the stack in 6 hours and I still know it by heart. It is by far the easiest memorized stack I've seen.DOUG CANNING

... if you want a memorized deck you can learn easily and keep in your head even if not using it frequently, I believe this one will do it... Highly recommended.ROBERT K. MILLER (The Linking Ring)

A card system is a combination of a fifty-two card stack and a process. This process can be mathematical or mnemonic. It governs on the one hand the setup of cards in the stack, and on the other hand a way to know the position or the identity (or both) of each of the card in the stack.
The time it takes to pronounce the letters B, A, N, G, is about the time necessary to translate a named card into its stack-number.
Simply said, if arithmetic operations (+, -, X, ÷) are needed to find a card name or its stack-number, then it is a card system.
You will find some card systems falsly advertized as memorized decks. Such is the case of so called algorithm-based memorized decks.
Among the oldest card systems, and by far the most well known, is the one popularized by Si Stebbins back in 1908.

If you didn't find...
Used magic books travel from one magician to another. They come and go. You might be looking for a title we presently don't have in stock. It's also possible that when we have it in stock, you are not loking for it. Although we would hate to loose you patronage, if you didn't find that particular title you might try other good used magic book dealers.
