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.

The Memorized Deck:

Memorizing a card stack with the help of Rules

The 14 rules required to learn the Joyal Stack can be found in The Six-Hour Memorized Deck (1997).

Memorizing a stack with the help of rules was first introduced in The Six-Hour Memorized Deck.

This method requires that you learn a small set of rules applicable to a preset stack. You wil realize that the learning curve is short and allows for fast results.

Keep in mind that the rules are used in the learning process and then disappear, allowing instant recall of the cards and their stack-numbers. Plus, the stack stays fresh in one's mind long after other stacks have been forgotten! More on this later.

Here is an example of a rule used in learning the Joyal Stack.

Rule 1: 6-12-24-48 gives the position of the four Aces.

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.
