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)

The Memorized Deck:

Five methods for memorizing a card stack

Your motivation, your will to succeed, the discipline you have, the time you can afford and your skill will determine the time required to learn and master a memorized deck. Some magicians learn a stack in a few hours or less, others take days or weeks, and unfortunately some never succeed.

The memorization method you will opt for will also affect the learning curve you will have to face. This is why it's important to choose a memorization method you are comfortable with.

Fortunately, there are many methods to choose from. We are all different, but there is a method out there that should suits you best .

Here are the five memorization methods mostly used.

Rote Memory

If you are blessed with a good memory, you might want to consider this method.

Peg System

A popular method in which associated words are used to recall stack-numbers and cards.

Rules

This method requires that you learn a small set of rules applicable to a preset stack.

Lyrics

A method using lyrics made of stack-numbers and card names.

Loci Method

With this method you are asked to travel through a virtual path.
