Mnemonica

Contains more than a hundred card tricks and routines using Tamariz's memorized deck "Mnemonica"

The Memory Arts is our most beautiful book to date. Full-color, with pictures on every page, this book details the simple, secret formula that will allow you to remember things better. This system, based on all the great pillars of mnemonics, was developed by husband and wife superteam Sarah and David Trustman. Apply the system to magic or everyday life. The choice is yours!

Inside "Sleightly Out of Order" (a much anticipated second volume of the "Out of Order" series), you'll discover card plots, both classic and new. The magic routines range from spellers to triumphs. Tricks that tell stories to mentalism that messes with the audience's minds. You'll discover gambling demonstrations and even worthwhile approaches to the Sellers Diary effect. You'll also find creative versions of the Tommy Wonder Elizabeth series along side interesting applications of principles both Gilbreath and Kruskal. The routines in this volume explore the iconic Si-Stebbins system (which the Redford stack effortlessly transforms into with a quick overhand shuffle sequence), memorized deck orders, the Power/Parallel Stack, Heinlein Hold'em Stack, and more! All arrangements that this book explores are quickly accessible when using from the Redford stack! You'll also read a mix of routines that may be performed with any memorized stack order along side card miracles that wont require any sort of learned memorization. Of course, no Redford stack book would be complete without unlocking more of the built in features specific to the Redford Stack! Whether you're a seasoned stack worker or your first adventure exploring the wonderful world of a stack deck, this book is a must have.

Juan Tamariz is considered worldwide as a true master of his art. Five of his critically acclaimed best-selling books have been translated into English: The Five Points in Magic, The Magic Way, Sonata, Verbal Magic and Mnemonica. Among magicians, one of the things Juan Tamariz is most recognized for is his trailblazing work with the memorized deck. His personal stack, which he named Mnemonica, is a seemingly random arrangement of cards that has miracle properties built into it. Many magicians have avoided adding memorized deck work to their repertoires because of the daunting task of committing a stacked deck to memory. I was the same way... until a Harry Anderson manuscript got me to thinking about how to make this process easier. PMS, my Peg Memory System, was born. Suddenly, I found that it was not only easy but also FUN to commit a memorized deck arrangement to memory! Using the PMS system in this book, it took me only AN HOUR to commit a memorized deck stack to memory! In the pages of Mnemonica For Everybody, you will find a streamlined, GRAPHICAL method for EASILY and QUICKLY learning the Tamariz stack. BTW, this same technique works great for EVERY memorized stack out there including memorized deck stacks by Simon Aronson, Martin Joyal, Laurie Ireland, Nikola and others. NOTE: THERE ARE NO ACTUAL MAGIC TRICKS TAUGHT IN THIS MANUSCRIPT! This manuscript is merely a tool for learning one of the most popular memorized deck configurations in the history of magic. Please refer to the writings of Tamariz, Aronson, Michael Close, Pit Hartling and others for the many uses of this incredible tool (see pages 68-69 inside for a FREE gift).

Amnesia means "loss of memory", because this book explores 9 routines without memory.

This remains one of the most definitive works on card technique, providing step-by-step instructions that will teach you the correct methods for the basic manipulations and for more advanced flourishes. Offering the most foolproof methods available, Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue explain such basic manipulation as the palm, the shuffle, the lift, the side slip, the pass, the glimpse, the jog and the reverse. They detail various false deals, crimps and changes and the more advanced execution needed for forces, fans and the use of the prearranged deck.

Today we are used to clear divisions between science and the arts. But early modern thinkers had no such distinctions, with ‘knowledge’ being a truly interdisciplinary pursuit. Each chapter of this collection presents a case study from a different area of knowledge.
