Can’t attend the convention so I would be interested in the notes. I don’t do much card magic, but there are certain card skills that offer a lot of bang for the effort and are worth learning. This is one of them.
It ain’t your uncle’s pick a card trick. It’s a demonstration of super human skill and it’s not a trick. It might be a little boring, but so is holding your breath underwater for ten minutes. It does stack the amazement the longer it goes on. Plus it has the redeeming feature of keeping the mind agile and preventing senility from knocking on your door as an uninvited guest. |

That's quite an apostrophe you have there, Dr Art.

Hi Jamie.
1) Does this even interest you? Absolutely, since nothing I've tried before has worked. 2) What concerns would you have? Applications? Techniques? Etc. That it's the same techniques that has not worked for me before 
3) If attending, would you pay for lecture notes? I would certainly pay for lecture notes if I did NOT attend
It sounds really good, that you have found out new methods, I kind of collect memory books, and I also invent new memory methods. Memorising cards has not been that interesting to me since I tend to focus on things that can help me with practical things, like learning a language faster or memorising facts, but it would be really nice if I could memorise a deck of cards at ALL, in any time. I take it though, that anyone can memorise it in 1 minute with your method, and not only the top few genetically gifted who really train and train? Also, I hope that your findings have use for memorising other stuff too, like words in foreign languages and facts. |

Interesting Jamie! Would also be interested by these notes
But here is a side question I am sometimes asking myself: what would be the point of memorizing a deck for real, as we have several great methods, as magicians, to give the impression that we can memorize an entire shuffled deck ?

Dorian,
I am already planning a routine, based on the ability to memorize the entire deck. In the routine, I would borrow a deck, let the spectator shuffle it, and then have him or her put each card face up to create one pile. I would let him or her know that we BOTH will see the order and location of cards, so none of us will have an unfair advantage. Then, we will play poker (or blackjack, or...you get the idea). The idea is to win each time. The spectator will certainly think of this as real magic, because well...in fact, it is! No deck switches to worry about, no peeking, no marked cards (since the deck was borrowed)---simply amazing memory demo, with a real-world (gambling) application. Regards, Mike Quote:

Thanks, gang! I'm taking the plunge and writing this up properly- and am in the midst of creating an APP to help study, as well. I'm thinking of offering it as an ebook (for those that can't make Magic-Con) and am just trying to work out all the details. I'm super excited! I've never had an ebook (or an APP), so this is all fairly new. I wonder if there's some way for me to "package" them together? Has anyone ever bought an ebook that came with a free APP? Is that even possible, I wonder?

I've also picked a name. "Scenic 52"!  These are great days, jamie

I am very interested in this Jamie. Unfortunately I cannot attend so I am hopeful that your notes will be available for purchase.
And why does Steve Valentine look like a young Kevin Costner in that photo?

Heya Gang!
Well, it's here! I'm in the process of switching over my site to: www.m-agic.com and thought releasing "Scenic 52" a week early would be a great way to celebrate! So if you're looking for something to do this weekend, please feel free to look around and tell me what you think!  Your pal, jamie

Thanks, guys!! I would definitely love to hear everyone's thoughts! I've been so busy lately, that I haven't been on the Café as much as I normally am; but I should be back to normal soon!
And something to remember for "Scenic 52" is that this ISN'T for someone looking to learn a new trick in 1 day. It'll take work, practice, and dedication but, if you're like me, I find it really enjoyable. I'm super curious if others do, as well! Your pal, jamie

Jamie, I think this will be your best creation yet, because it is real magic---no dual reality, no false cuts, no gimmicks---just an honest demonstration of real (and seemingly, supernatural) memory. Jamie, do you do this currently, or are you still practicing? If you are doing this, is it possible to post a demonstration? Would love to see this in action...and, of course, no need to worry about exposure, since the method is...well, all mental
Regards, Mike |

Right Mike,
Is it possible to see a demo of this, Jamie ? Or are you still practicing ?

Those who have this, or Jamie, can you tell me (us) the link between Scenic 52 and Mnemonica ? I though it has nothing to do with each other, but I saw in the ad copy a mention to Mnemonica ? As I use another stack, I am still wondering if Scenic 52 is good for me... I hope so

Those of you who bought this, can you explain the link between Scenic 52 and Mnemonica ? Jamie told me that he uses the Mnemonica Stack as an insurance policy to help remember the PAO, but I was wondering if the method is stack dependent or independent.
