The Six-Hour Memorized Deck

... passionately written, impeccably researched, sharply design and is easily the best book on the subject ever written.
BOB FARMER
I definately would recommend your system. Your tricks are fascinating. You have made a significant contribution to the field of magic.
BARRIE RICHARDSON
... 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)

I have been selling used magic books since 1994. During these 28 years, I was in contact with great customers, some of which with whom I had warm communications. It has always been a pleasure to supply books to those looking for them.

It’s now time for me to turn the page.
