... a facinating book... if you're looking for a stack, and built-in features are not a factor, then the Joyal stack is certainly worth your serious consideration.MICHAEL CLOSE (M A G I C)

... a must have... the impossible is now true: You can learn a functional memorized stack in four 90-minute sessions.JAMY IAN SWISS (Genii)

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)
The Memorized Deck:
From and to NDO
The same is true for the Mnemonica Stack while using an European deck.
NDO stands for New Deck Order. This order vary from one country to the other.
Some magicians like to start their routine with a brand new deck, still sealed in its case. For them it's important that a memorized deck can be set up right in front of their audience while shuffling the deck.
Some magicians also like to end their routine by showing that all the cards have returned to the New Deck Order.
There are memorized stacks that can be assembled from the New Deck Order following a sequence of over-hand shuffles and/or faro shuffles. They can also be returned to the New Deck Order with a procedure similar in nature.
Keep in mind that decks produced in America and decks produced in Europe do not follow the same order.
Here you will find a lot of information on the memorized deck, a large selection of used magic books, as well as a selection of high quality new magic books.
Martin also specializes in used magic books since 1994. When buying magic book collections, duplicates often show up. You will find some of them advertized on this web site at a reasonable price.
Also on our shelves is a selection of high quality new magic books.
