I also when learning the stack made a mnemonica training deck. I wrote the number associated with the card with a sharpie on the back of the card. Shuffle the deck. Turn face up and guess the number on the back or turn face down and guess the card associated with that number.
Amazing. Thank you so much. This will save me lot of time to re-arrange the stack. I usually shuffle it after a few tricks, so the spectators doesn't thinks I am working with a stacked deck (and then do a couple of tricks using the same deck for which I don't need a stack.) But always a pain to reorder the stack. This will save me hours... Thank you so much !!!
The beauty of this tutorial is that even if you have a completely shuffled deck, you know that the bottom card ( for example the position of Ace of Spades ) will end up in the seventh position using this technique, as per the Mnemonica Stack. So also the top card ( position of the Ace of Clubs ) will wind up in position 43 after you have performed this shuffling technique. And you can in fact extrapolate the position of any card whatsoever ( before shuffling) to the position it will be in after performing the Quadruple anti faro etc. This creates wonderful mind blowing prediction effects. Thank you Card Mechanic
To anyone struggling to memorize it, this is how I did it. I would memorize 4 cards at a time. I would repeat it to myself over and over again. Then I would make flash cards for those 4 cards and test myself. Once I felt 100% confident that I knew those cards, I'd then learn the next 4 and repeat.
I just gave each card an association. For example 6H is the 23rd card. Michael Jordan is the 6H. Etc etc…. I had it memorized 80% in about an hour. A week later it was burnt in mind
I learned Aronson with flashcards and creating/destroying/recreating the stack repeatedly. I also set up printouts of where all the As, 2s, 3s, etc were for basic culling. I'd run through the stack and upjog them, push them back in and start on the next. I did the same with colors and suits. While Mnemonica is in more common use, Aronson has so much built into the stack, I can't go back. And I believe someone wrote several booklets on using his stack without memorization. One of the most important things you learn from Juan is that you only need half the stack to perform absolute miracles. The fifth DVD in his set covers all his shuffles and subleties and is worth the price alone. In all honesty, EVERYONE WHO DOES MEM WORK SHOULD OWN THIS! Using a known stack with a marked deck is an excellent advantage. No peeks. I decided to put a breather into my top card (JS) which is also center-corner-marked with a NAVY BLUE fine-point Sharpie, as I'm using the Maiden Marked from Penguin (by the brick is best price). Corner short cards at 13 (2D) and opposing short 39 (6H). I have no problem cutting exactly 26 cards, even from a table. However, a scalloped card would help there, for those who can't. LEARN A ZARROW SHUFFLE and practice until it looks perfect, then rehearse what you've learned regularly. The ZARROW video from Meir Yedid, and the Gary Plants, and Jason England tutorials can help with these.
There must be something wrong with me, I learned it in 4 hours and got sick of it and made my own personal Stack and memorized that the next day! Now I use both lol
I used the peg method. It’s a common method memory workers use where every number is associated with a sound. 0=s or z, 1=t or d, 3 = m, 4 = r, 5 = l, 6 = ch/sh/zh/j 7 = k, 8 = f or v, 9 = b or p. The number 35, for example, could be “mail”, so you would link the 35th card to a mailman, for example.
This method saves time if you already have the cards in the starting AC..AS order. But from a shuffled deck I find it quickest just to arrange the cards in the memorised order. Otherwise it takes too much time to reach AC..AS order. The above procedure is most use before you have the order memorised since it saves referring to a table and maybe making mistakes.
I simply put all the cards in order and tried saying the order of the cards. I think it was way faster than memorizing a story. I had the order memorized in like an hour.
Well done! Thank you for this... I actually have my collection framed in CHSD order... I think im actually going to change the display of my collection to this stack... Where it would look random to the lay person, but if a Magician would gander at it, they would realize the stack. Thank you for this idea, and this tutorial!
You can ask someone to pick a card and when they return it it will be out of order so you know their card. You can also ask them to name any number, then you immediately know which card is at that number.
I had worked with mnemonics, PEG (Harry Lorayne) & PAO (Dominic O'Brien) systems in the past before I heard about memorized decks. Hence, it takes about 30 minutes max to learn the cards' sequence very easily! If you don't know about mnemonics, it will definitely change your life, not only in magic!!
What am i doing wrong? I went through this twice and each time i got to the last step of finding the 4 of clubs, mine was next to a J of diamonds not 9 of diamonds. What did i do wrong?
This was an amazing video CM! I have heard of this stack, but I couldn't find any instructions on how to make the stack. I will have to look around and find some tricks involving this stack. I think a few of Chris Ramsay's decks come in mnemonica. Keep uploading the great content! #Roadto11K!
Thats because you learn the stavk and everything around it in an very expensive book. To just publish something like that for free on UA-cam mustnt be done and he should take the Video down.
If the stack doesn’t provide a quick way to know a card’s location, what is the point? How is this any different from just shuffling a deck into a random order and then memorizing this random order?
I tried the stack twice and both times I'm ending up with the JD next to the 4 C - not the 9 D like you get . Happened twice. EDIT : you exchanged the 3 C and 2 hearts in your tutorial and I didn't see the correction that you inserted across the screen.. thank goodness. 4 times before I saw it . I had my lighter out and was ready to burn the deck 😆
I don’t get it. Is this just a random order of cards? What makes this stack any different than just shuffling the cards and then using that random order as your stack and memorizing it. The si stebbins has an order. Does this stack have an order? All I saw was how to get it to the order. But nothing on how that order is supposed to be beneficial.
It’s beneficial because there’s a mathematical way to always get to this order. With a few shuffles and cuts big magicians like David Blaine always get to this order and once they memorize it they can do any trick they want.
Not great but things are slowly easing and getting back to normal. Restaurants are able to serve food as takeaway but no sitting in. Schools/Unis are back also
A new deck 'The Rainman deck' by Dean James has marking for this system on the backs no need to remember, apart from other great features. A must deck for mentalism, you even know how many cards the spectator cut to, and how much they weigh!
Seems like a cool deck but I can't find much on it or any thing that shows all the features and how to do it I will be ordering one tomorrow but I just wish I could find stuff on it
I wonder why this particular stack is so popular, like you could literally shuffle a deck of cards completely randomly and memorize the order that it’s in and say that it’s a stack, and no one would even know about it. Like what if you memorized your very own stack and you could just fool magicians
Or you just switch the Decks, because why would you have them ordered in new Deck order? When you pull Out a new Deck, just give it a false Shuffle and Show them. I learned it just with the brute force method. If you really try it isnt a Problem.
nice job card mechanic this stack might take practice but i'm sure i'll get it down i'm defe practicing this Lol i'll practice this just for u buddy with my friends thanks so much buddy !!!!!!!

Why don't you just keep a stacked deck always, for reference only??
The beauty of this tutorial is that even if you have a completely shuffled deck, you know that the bottom card ( for example the position of Ace of Spades ) will end up in the seventh position using this technique, as per the Mnemonica Stack.

I asked for a stack video on the 10k stream. Great video 👍
To anyone struggling to memorize it, this is how I did it.

Once I felt 100% confident that I knew those cards, I'd then learn the next 4 and repeat.
How long did this take you?
I used this method too, took me less than two hours
A good way of learning the stack is with Rick Lax's Mnemonica Trainer
What that?? How do I find it is it a video or sum?
Hello @@lypsohgameing2859, I don't know if Rick Lax's Mnemonica Trainer is really interesting or not but i suppose you can find it at Penguin ;)
I just gave each card an association. For example 6H is the 23rd card. Michael Jordan is the 6H. Etc etc…. I had it memorized 80% in about an hour. A week later it was burnt in mind

It took me two months i divided into six piles aim was to learn one pile each week but kept forgetting so took some time lol😎
There must be something wrong with me, I learned it in 4 hours and got sick of it and made my own personal Stack and memorized that the next day! Now I use both lol
@@jaxensweet yep wrong lol
I used like 4 days
Okay, this video is worth a second comment: I just set up like five decks, and THANK GAWD for this instruction!
Very good method to arrange the deck into mnemonica stack deck. Thank you so much
I just have the book and thanks to your video I understood how to set this up without doing faro 🙌
I used the peg method. It’s a common method memory workers use where every number is associated with a sound. 0=s or z, 1=t or d, 3 = m, 4 = r, 5 = l, 6 = ch/sh/zh/j 7 = k, 8 = f or v, 9 = b or p.

A collection of what?
So use the Osterland stack as an alternative
really nice Video! I would like more Videos about Mnemonica
How to use mnemonica stack on card trick? How many effect can we make?
You can ask someone to pick a card and when they return it it will be out of order so you know their card. You can also ask them to name any number, then you immediately know which card is at that number.
If you want to know you should buy the book, tricks like this should not be revealed straight on youtube
Amazing. I just started working with this book.
I had worked with mnemonics, PEG (Harry Lorayne) & PAO (Dominic O'Brien) systems in the past before I heard about memorized decks. Hence, it takes about 30 minutes max to learn the cards' sequence very easily! If you don't know about mnemonics, it will definitely change your life, not only in magic!!
Wasnt there a way to get to the mnemonica order from normal deck ordr through a faro shuffel or similar?
This stack looks harder until you find a way through! But this is surely a go-to stack for magicians!👍💖💜😇
I am probably going to get the book. Thanks for sharing this
Great.video. I had buy this book its a bit mouthful. Thanks 👍
What am i doing wrong? I went through this twice and each time i got to the last step of finding the 4 of clubs, mine was next to a J of diamonds not 9 of diamonds. What did i do wrong?
Amazing, definitely going to use this
Im using Mnemonica Trainer by Rick Lax and amazingly i able to memorize the whole stack only in 3 days. Best method to memorize mnemonica so far..
Hey CM Not to be annoying of too much questions but what kind of close up mat do you use the blue one 💙 again sorry for alot of questions
Can you give me a great book on card stacks ? Thanks - love your stuff + subscribed

Buy Juan’s book.
I might be wrong,but i think in ,royal road to card magic. They give a simple song to remember the order
If the stack doesn’t provide a quick way to know a card’s location, what is the point?
How is this any different from just shuffling a deck into a random order and then memorizing this random order?
Awesome bro, thanks!

Nice data man!
Is there a shortcut ?
You can do 4 out faros, reverse the top 26 cards, out faro the top 18 cards
Who are you talking about at the beginning? I cant find anything about any juanton reese or morice or whatever you're saying
@logan kowalyk - It was : Juan Tamariz 😉
SO much easier to understand than Juan’s book
There is no "trusting" when it comes to stack work. You just have to have your mind blown so many times before you give into memorizing it.
Thanks for the video

Nice stacking process and we can make some great effects out of it...
Thanks for this video...
Just a question..
How is covid in uk???
Not great but things are slowly easing and getting back to normal. Restaurants are able to serve food as takeaway but no sitting in. Schools/Unis are back also
YOU SAY CUT BETWEEN 2H & 3C, BUT IN VIDEO YOU CUT BETWEEN 2C & 3H. I ASSUME 2C & 3H IS CORRECT, YES?
Awesome

Also some of dmc elites have the card position on back and dyland nifty and daisy have even more marked information for stack

True, but memorising an actual random sequence is quite hard. If there's at least some sort of pattern that you can learn it's easier.
The mnemonica has many benifits, like it can be made from a new deck order super fast
I am a big fan of yours
This is a cool stack. Thanks for your well explained details on setting this up. 👍😊👍😊👍
I managed to memorize the position of each card in one day.
Cool video
Great video as always👍
Or you just switch the Decks, because why would you have them ordered in new Deck order? When you pull Out a new Deck, just give it a false Shuffle and Show them.
I learned it just with the brute force method. If you really try it isnt a Problem.
I love the card trick
Great 👍🏾
Only problem is the queens but it's not very noticeable
nice job card mechanic this stack might take practice but i'm sure i'll get it down
i'm defe practicing this Lol i'll practice this just for u buddy with my friends
thanks so much buddy !!!!!!!
Why do people insist on pronouncing it "Noomonica"? Do you see a U anywhere in there?
It took me about 2 hours to learn it. Used the memory palace technique.
I am a little magician 🎩
Iam also bro 👍👍
