... 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:
Memorizing a card stack with Lyrics
This method is the one introduced by Juan Tamariz in Mnemonica as the Auditory Method.
Tamariz strongly suggests to combine it with a Visual Method, a Muscular Method, a Conceptual Method and a Security Method, all fully explained in his book.
1. Choose a few songs you are used to listen to or sing
2. Replace the lyrics of those songs with stack-numbers and card names
Stack-numbers 33 through 36 of the Mnemonica Stack correspond to the following cards:
Take the lyrics "She loves you , yeah, yeah, yeah" and repeat them four times. Instead of using the original lyrics, replace them with the following, using a different scale or tone for each line.
Thirty-three, Eight of Clubs
Thirty-four, Ten of Spades
Thirty-five, King of Hearts
Thirty-six, Jack of Clubs
Proceed like above for all 52 cards of the stack, working four cards at a time with different songs.
3. Record yourself singning these lyrics
4. Listen back to the recording over and over for about three hours
