QuadCodeNext 10 Klingons tetradistic stack (easy next card determination)

Using the below mnemonic story and stack the magician or shill can quickly determine the next card (note that this tetradistic stack looks more random than a Si Stebbins).

Main mnemonic story to know the sequence of the card values within each 13 card bank:

10 Klingons with 7 Queens JackNifed the Universe (42 Htchhiker's Guide Galaxy) with a 38 and Ace Ventura in a 56 Chevy (best looking stock hot car ever made).

To know the SUIT of the "next card":
If the current card value is Ace, King, Queen, Jack then the suit of the next card is the same color suit as the current card (but different suit).
Otherwise (when the current card is a number card 2 thru 10) the suit of the next card is one notch forward SHoCkeD from the current card.

QuadCodeNext Stack (tetradistic):
TD, KS, 7C, QD, JH, 9D, 4S, 2H, 3C, 8D, AS, 5C, 6D,
TS, KH, 7D, QS, JC, 9S, 4H, 2C, 3D, 8S, AH, 5D, 6S,
TH, KC, 7S, QH, JD, 9H, 4C, 2D, 3S, 8H, AC, 5S, 6H,
TC, KD, 7H, QC, JS, 9C, 4D, 2S, 3H, 8C, AD, 5H, 6C

This stack also has a mathematical calculation coupled with mnemonics to determine the position of any named card but I am not posting that calculation in this thread. I want to keep this thread simple and easy to read and just show the "next card" calculation here.

To see the quadcode method of calculating the position within the entire stack of any named card click on the below link which is in secret sessions:

The quadcode technique could be used to do the "one card transfer" trick. You know the trick where the magician has curved top cards in one half and spectator transfers one card and shuffles ...magician finds. Instead of curved tops we could put all the quadcode "0" cards and quadcode "2" cards in one half and do the same trick. This could provide a changeup to doing the curve top method however the curve top method is much simpler.

In one half we could have the quadcode 0 and quadcode 2 cards be all black suit cards and all the quadcode 1 cards and quadcode 3 cards be red suit cards. This would give an excellent random look, but I think it would be even more difficult to do the "one card transfer" trick.
