How useful would this method be for remembering spectators names (or indeed names in general)?
Thank you in advance Danny

Danny, I don't think this particular method would be helpful in remembering names. This is more practical for remembering lists of items in sequence. I highly recommend Harry Lorayne's Memory Book to remember names and faces (amongst many other things). In all honesty, I'm pretty good at remembering people's names without resorting to any memory technique. Sometimes, all we have to do is just pay attention and make that extra effort in order to remember a name. It's really not that difficult. But if you're trying to memorize like 100 faces, then yeah, mnemonics are your answer for sure...

Wow. Not a new technique for sure. But new to me. I just spent about 2 hours and know Mnemonica both ways (card to number and number to card). Still need to work on my speed but the system freaking works. Currently using just 26 locations and find have 2 cards per location to be a sweet spot because you almost always need 2 objects to "tell a story" at each location.
Very, very impressed. |

Does anyone know if the memory journey of the first 26 cards/positions of the new book is identical to the first 26 of the old one? I’m waiting for the new one (with all 52 positions) to get to me in the mail and wanted to know if I could begin studying by using the old one.

Hi, I bought their latest book 'The Memory Arts' and have to say its an excellent buy if you want to learn stacks in everyway to remember them in all 52 positions, plus there is a grid Feinaigle system to link them all together, not only for cards memory but anything you would like to have in your memory palace, lists, phone no.s, even kings queens from history, not quite magic but great for studys too etc. (wish I had this info when I was at school)
All written in a straight forward way, its so easy to learn, within one hr of study I learnt the 52 locations and the Tamariz's and Aronson's stack within those locations, just need a little more practice to recall at speed. |

In other words, you are just going to want to start with the first 26 cards as well. The e-book actually teaches the entire stack using cards 1 and 2 in position 1 then cards 3 and 4 in position 2... The hardback teaches both stacks (Tamariz and Aronson) seperate using the 2 card per position like the e-books but goes on to teach BOTH STACKS together using one card from each stack in every position from 1 - 52. Hope that helps explain the difference.

Or is there more work involved to separate stacks and remove cards or positions? Basically I just want to memorize Mnemonica utilizing 52 positions without doing more than simply going through what they give us to learn it (not having to subtract, ignore, etc, if that makes sense) and not getting fancy with 2 cards at each position, two stacks or one. |

I am actually learning Aronson only while using all 52 positions in the hardback (which I find much simpler than doubling up on the first 26 positions like "book A" taught). I may "eventually" try Tamariz later, but this is enough for now. Hope that helps

For those using this method to memorize a stack, I have a question. I am getting tripped up on remembering what card is at what number, since they are doubled on each location. So for instance, card 3 is actually in location 2, and so on from there. How are you keeping track, or are you using the additional 26 scenes and only keeping 1 card at each scene? I hope this makes since.

I tried them both and for me the peg system is way better, kinda feel like I have a backup (don't remember the loci, you are screwed; don't remember the peg you can likely "compute" it). I've started Mnemonica with the peg system and so far it's been great. I am following Aragon's suggestion to stop at half of the deck for a while so that you can more easily distinguish the two halves. Last but not least: Mnemonica is the de-facto standard. You can buy new decks which start in Mnemonica order or have position marked using Mnemonica. So far the only advantage for the Aronson stack is the ability to perform Shuffle-Bored by just using a slip cut vs. having to pull multiple cards out of the stack with mnemonica.

Don't forget the built in expanded Zen's poker stack.
While I don't perform poker demo's it's possibly the one built in feature I would want. No shifting cards, and straight forward. Mnemonica is a nice stack, random looking and easy to get into from NDO. However I'm not a huge fan of shifting cards around on the fly while in memstack, and many "built in routines" require slight restacking. Really looking forward to reading Tamariz's method to transform Mnemonica to Stebbins. I hope it's direct. Redford's stack is great, but I'm not a fan of overhand runs or table restacks. Still looking for the Memdeck Grail. Special mention for Doug's Quickerstack. Best, Jed |

Is Book B available (ebook or physical) for those that have already purchased Book A? Or do you have to purchase the 300+ page physical book to get the rest of the information?

I myself have the nice hard cover that came out last. It is a very good quality book. Story and information are entertaining. Pictures are memorable, and that's key.
I was able to lock in Aronson stack in four days. I have been doing magic for a long time and have never been able to get a deck locked in. I tried Joyal's, but I forgot the rules. Tried peg systems, but could never get the words and pairs to stay in my head. This was perfect for me, I had to learn a story and that was it. I can recall the cards, the numbers, tell you were all the suits are, forward, backward, starting any point. I know that many have used and had great success with the peg system, but for me, it did not work. This did. Like gangbusters! I think it is a great purchase. |
