Hi all,

I'm currently brushing up on my Aronson stack and wondering what everyone's favorite routines are.

Here are some lesser known routines per Petty:

Well, most of my fav. memdeck effects were already in your posted videos, but to add 2 more:
*) Zen Master from Darwin Oritz
*) Or Not from Dani DaOrtiz

I love Michael Close's Invisible Deck (using the Redford stack enhances it), but Asi Wind's ACAAN is probably my favorite.

Some incredible material in Simon Aronson's books, too. Will watch those Petty videos when I get home from work, thanks for sharing

I recently came up with this memdeck routine that I call My Vegas Prep. It's my favorite at the moment.

I also like this memdeck effect that I call Photoreading.

Finally someone wants to talk mem deck effects instead of talking about different stacks, and ways to memorize a stack!

My all time favorite and the one that impresses everyone is Simon Aronson’s Two Beginnings. It’s straight forward and effective. No dealing cards, spreading cards on a table, etc. Someone names card, another chooses a card, and it’s the same card! A tremendous “go to” in my walk around repertoire.

I also really enjoy Osterlind’s Card Calling though a mem deck isn’t exactly necessary.

Thanks all.

The two routines I've performed the most are Darwin Ortiz Last Laugh and simply mind reading a clump of selected cards.

I was always apprehensive about doing Last Laugh because I worried they would name a hard card like 39.

I recently started doing Press Your Luck and cutting the deck seems to have alleviated my fears of culling a card deep in the stack.

Card College from Matt Baker is pretty strong though does require strong stack knowledge.

Why?
It just requires what any memdeck user must know. Pretty instant recall card and number.

The most tricky part of this routine is the math you need to do under fire. For me at least since l have difficulty in adding two and two

I also have to ask why the Redford stack enhances Michael Close's ID effect?

Takes advantage of adjacent card.
