Anyone know about Joe Riding’s memorized deck effect? Thank you.

At the beginning of this thread, some people said that this is their favorite Memdeck routine. But follow ups by Turk and I have yielded nothing. Does anyone know what Joe Riding’s effect was? Cheers!

I know a lot about Joe Riding's mem deck (which he primarily used to raise money at charity events).
What exactly do you need to know fella?

I'm interested in the Riding routine as well. Maybe one of his friends can bury it print for us.

I'm not aware either of any published mem deck routine by Joe Riding (which of course doesn't mean anything). Merc Man, one thing many here would like to learn is where (if so?) his mem deck routines were published.
Otherwise, can you describe what made them special?

After seeing Pit Hartling perform I picked up his book "In Order". I have not yet memorized a deck but I thought his work and lecture were so good I bought the book anyways! Love his Sherlock effect.

Only just revisited this thread. I wish people would have PM'd me at the time - they may have then received a timely response, instead of 6 years later!
Anyway, to answer the question(s) above. Joe Riding outlined his Memorised Deck(s) Method (and routining) within Level 8 of his 'Close-up Magic Course' in 1996.

For me personally, I find Simon Aronson's Two Beginnings to be the absolute best. This is actually the first memorized deck routine I learned when I first began 13 years ago, and I never stopped. It's quick and effective, and don't need a table. You can keep the deck in your own hands, and the presentation is straight to the point. Never fails to impress people! Great for couples too!
Card Calling(mem deck not necessary) and Birthday Book have been very valuable to me too. |

I mess around with a lot of mem-deck tricks, but the ones I seem to keep coming back to are these:
- Barrie Richardson's ACAAN with stack - Simon Aronson - Invisible Card, Two Beginnings, Histed Heisted and Everybody's Lazy - Darwin Ortiz - Test Your Luck and Zen Master - Dani daOrtiz - Or Not! - Looch - Intuitive Aii - Bill Malone - Hands Off - Memory Test - Ben Earl - Ramjollock

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I should have added Matt Baker to the list above - particularly Card College, Triple Fried and Casablanca. Some of the tricks outlined are similar to others on the list, so I like to switch between them to keep it interesting. For example Hands Off - Memory Test, Card College, Everybody's Lazy and Intuitive Aii have some similarities, but switching between them keeps them all fresh. Also comes in handy for a "show me again" or "show me another" occasion.
