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:

What is a Memorized Stack?

In The Six-hour Memorized Deck,
the following memorized decks are discussed:

The Nikola Stack,
The Marlo Stack,
The Ireland Stack,
The Skinner Stacks,
The McCaffrey Stack,
The Aronson Stack,
The Steele Stack,
The Aldrich Stack,
The Rix Stack.

A memorized stack can be partial or complete.

A partial memorized stack is a group of fewer than fifty-two cards that has been memorized.

A complete memorized stack, better known as a memorized deck, is a full deck of fifty-two cards that has been memorized.

When usisng a memorized stack, by the time you say Bang you already know the stack-number of a named card.

Once memorized, any complete stack becomes a memorized deck. This is also true of stacks set up accordng to a card system (Si Stebbins, Osterlind, etc.).

In 1927, the stack presented by Louis Nikola made quite some noise in the world of memorized deck magic.

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.
