Don’t knock it folks - the unit cost of producing only one deck with this gizmo is still likely to be cheaper than those offered by CARC or Ellusionist.

Very much ‘horses for courses’ as regards each individual’s approach.

My approach is very similar to Mr Kendall’s

There’s a great app, Memo Deck, which I used to learn the Mnemonica stack. I’m fortunate to have a fairly good memory so maybe that helped too. Essentially you learn the stack gradually by memorising the stack in blocks of 5 or 6 cards. Also includes nice little features which tests by card or stack...

Seems endemic and the BOD has been complicit.

I would close the place.

AJM

Absolutely shocking.

AJM

Very interesting indeed - thanks both.

I do remember Magic Books By Post and indeed purchased books from them back in the day. I had no idea who the proprietors were although I believe the business was taken over by others latterly.

I acquired my copy of SJIP from the collection of John Fisher some years ago. It's signed by Stewart James (No 51 of 200). There is another inscription included which reads: 'To John With thanks for his friendship. Donald & Betty May 1990' Any idea who Donald and Betty might be? Cheers Andrew

Terrible news.

My sincere condolences to Matt’s family and his many friends.

Unfortunately I played it forward.

I nominate this as the most random post of the year and I await all responses with much anticipation.

I’m particularly looking forward to confirmation of the ‘backward whistling’ phenomenon.

New floor to ceiling bookcases are to be installed at AJM Towers in the very near future.

I just hope there is enough room for all them books...

‘I have the receipt!’

There you go, KFC guilty beyond all doubt.

Good analogy Bob.

Nice!

Machine or mannequin

Only slow from the US it seems - I received a package today from Japan which has taken just 4 days, and at a fraction of the cost. (Thanks Hitomi).

Further, Gali-Gali "carried a card from the Royal S.P.C.A. of England, certifying that no cruelty, only dexterity is used in handling the baby chicks. And while appearing in New York City, the local S.P.C.A. would send an officer each week to pick up the chicks, and retire them to a farm."...

A version of the effect could be achieved with one of these: -

How about a double-decker Phoenix Deck with a repeating 2 of Spades as the rear card?

(The red cards being used don’t look like Bikes).

I don’t own one of these decks - could you put one in the hands of a spectator?

Currently awaiting Charlie’s arrival to the UK...

The Miracle Poker Machine and documentation on eBay (link provided above by Erdnasephile) is still available after failing to sell on two previous occasions.

Anyone willing to bet $300 to find out if it still works?

(It’s not mine by the way).

I've been having a look for 'list' type apps that have the functionality required however I've drawn a blank so far.

May be better with a database app where an indexed table (or tables) could be created and a query written to extract the required record when the inputs have been entered.

Peek a card in a nano-second.

Pore over a crib sheet with coded entries for twenty minutes or so (at least if my eyesight is anything to go by) while asking the spectators to chat amongst themselves.

This is going to be next to impossible to achieve seamlessly with either brute force memory or mnemonics (unless you are someone like Dominic O'Brien) Using a crib sheet, a 'Miracle Poker Machine' type calculator or an app that does some sort of VLOOKUP on an indexed list is only going to detract f...
