start you on your way, but this theoretical discussion has been largely free of presentation. Such an omission is permissible in an Introduction whose goal is to give you just the bare bones, but I wouldn t want anyone to come away from this Introduction thinking that good memorized deck magic consists of just adventures of the props or merely finding a card under challenge conditions. Memorized deck magic, like any other area of magic, needs interesting plots, entertaining patter, surprise and camouflage, to build upon the bald skeletons we ve unearthed so far. I hope the concepts and principles are intriguing and inspiring for you to work on, but please try to give them a presentation they deserve and one that will help your audiences enjoy and remember the miracles you re performing. 18 " Simon Aronson s Appendix A Bibliography of Simon Aronson s Writings on Memorized Deck Magic (as of May 2002) Key to Publications: KAB = Kabbala (the Simon Aronson issue, April 1973) CI = The Card Ideas of Simon Aronson (1978) STR = A Stack to Remember (1979) SB = Shuffle-bored (1980) AA = The Aronson Approach (1990) BTP = Bound to Please (1994) (a compilation of Aronson's early works, including KAB, CI, STR, SB and other items) SS = Simply Simon (1995) TII = Try the Impossible (2001) Essays General Observations on the Memorized Deck (CI p. 88, BTP p. 84) Memorized Math (AA p. 113) The Open Index (SS p. 222) Effects Some People Think (KAB p. 57, BTP p. 3) Lie Sleuth (KAB p. 58, BTP p. 5) Group Shuffle (KAB p. 59, BTP p. 8) Two Card No Touch Location (CI p. 95, BTP p. 88) Four Stop Intersection (CI p. 100, BTP p. 92) Histed Heisted (CI p. 104, BTP p. 95) S-D Plus (CI p. 111, BTP p. 100) Center Cut Location (CI p. 117, BTP p. 105) Shuffle-bored (memorized deck applications) (SB p. 14ff, BTP p. 160ff) Bait and Switch (AA p. 85) Any Card, Then Any Number (AA p. 93) Four Part Harmony (AA p. 101) Past-Present-Future (SS p. 153) Lazy Memory (SS p. 162) Everybody's Lazy (SS p. 167) Two Wrongs Make It Right (SS p. 173) Taking Advantage of One's Position (SS p. 179) Self-Centered (SS p. 187) Madness in Our Methods (SS p. 194) Topsy Turvy (SS p. 203) High Class Location (SS p. 216) Twice as Hard (TII p. 46) Two Beginnings (TII p. 171) The Invisible Card (TII p. 175) Introduction to Memorized Deck Magic " 19 The Aronson Stack In A Stack to Remember (as reprinted in full in BTP, with new 1994 notes): The Aronson Stack Features of the Aronson Stack: Draw Poker Deal Stud Poker Deal Ten Card Poker Deal Poker Routines Perfect Bridge Hand Spelling Any Poker Hand Called For Mental Spell Pocket Deck Switch Small Packet Trick Pocket Deck Switch Blackjack Demonstration Memorizing the Aronson Stack In Unpacking the Aronson Stack (a chapter in TII, pp. 193 266): Introduction: Stalking the Stack Aces Awry (Producing the Aces) Four on a Match (Producing the Fours) Jack Coincidence (Producing the Jacks) The Mind Reading Deck, Part 6 (Producing the Sixes) The Mind Reading Deck, Part 9 (Producing the Nines) The Mind Reading Deck, Part 7 (Producing the Sevens) Two by Four (Producing the Twos) Fit Four a King (Producing the Kings) Joshing With The Threes (Producing the Threes) Routine Maintenance (Poker Deal Restoration) Truth-Sayer (Four Lie Detector sequences) Deal and Duck Poker Reciprocal Spell Pairs Threespell (using UnDo Influence) Built for Two (using UnDo Influence) Triple Trick Tip Sequence Spells The Aronson Stack Makes Good, MAGIC magazine (April 2002), p. 79 Additional effects specific to the Aronson stack are described on the Aronson Stack Page, at simonaronson.com 20 " Simon Aronson s Appendix B THE ARONSON STACK TABLE 1 THE ARONSON STACK (Numerically) 1-JS 14-KD 27-5D 40-3C 2-KC 15-7D 28-7C 41-2S 3-5C 16-8C 29-4H 42-9H 4-2H 17-3S 30-KH 43-KS 5-9S 18-AD 31-4D 44-6S 6-AS 19-7S 32-10D 45-4C 7-3H 20-5S 33-JC 46-8H 8-6C 21-QD 34-JH 47-9C 9-8D 22-AH 35-10C 48-QS 10-AC 23-8S 36-JD 49-6D 11-10S 24-3D 37-4S 50-QC 12-5H 25-7H 38-10H 51-2C 13-2D 26-QH 39-6H 52-9D If you take a deck and arrange it in Aronson stack order and ribbon spread it face up in front of you, you'll see that it looks simply like a well-shuffled, randomized deck; no particular value, suit or color grouping jumps out at you. Table 2 presents the same stack, this time arranged by the suits and values of the cards; you'll see that still no particular numerical arrangement is apparent.
