Title says it all. Looking for tricks that will surreptitiously take a shuffled deck and set it into Mnemonica stack.
A Penguin Youtube Top 10 video mentioned an unnamed 'Spanish Magician' who has a set of tricks that can accomplish this. Anyone familiar with this, or other ruses? |

Totally useless. (unless you're a "living room magician" for the theoretical exercise - with which is nothing wrong).
That is my opinion and that of Benjamin Earl and Asi Wind. |

Patrick Redford’s Thought Master will do that for you. It gets you into his stack but it should be applicable for other stacks. In Roger’s Thesaurus, David Carre has a set called Total Cull which can set a deck into a stack in the process of doing several routines. There are others out there and I will end with this statement that someone once told me, you could just do a deck switch. With what I have seen in print you would have to go through several routines to get your deck into a stack. Are you going to do a set that may last 20 - 30 minutes just to get into a stack and then do another 30 minute set of magic? I only say this because today most people’s attention span for card magic is probably 15 minutes.

Euphoria from Adrian Guerra (for first or second half of the deck - 26 cards)

The last effect in the Encyclopedia of Card Tricks by Jean Hugard is entitled, A Subtle Game and it allows you to do what you're asking. It's on page 402 of most copies. It's a trick that allows you to set up your deck in any memorized order and it's pretty entertaining in its own regard. It's the creation of Louis T. Nikola although it seems to be a variation of a previous routine. Nikola applied the older principle to the memorized deck and really changed the dynamic of stacked decks (in 1927, no less!). It's very satisfying knowing that you are setting up a memorized deck right in front of the spectators without them knowing.
