Memories Are Made of This by Simon Aronson
An awful lot has changed over the past twenty or so years.When I wrote my first book
(The Card Ideas of Simon Aronson,1978), I tipped my mitt on a lot of “underground”
stuff that I had developed, using the memorized deck. In my introductory essay to
that chapter, I mentioned that I sometimes felt “guiltily pleased” that so few of
our advanced cardicians had (at that time) ever considered using the memorized deck.
Well, I can’t feel such guilt any longer because the memorized deck has certainly
come of age. Indeed, the past few years have seen a groundswell of interest in this
venerable tool among some of the world’s most respected magical thinkers and
performers. Lecturers at magic clubs around the country have showcased memorized
deck miracles. But the enthusiasm is not limited just to the professionals. In magic
chat rooms on the Internet,and at magic conventions, I am regularly besieged by eager,
inventive amateurs who want to show me their latest twist or accomplishment with a
memorized deck – and many are really good! The momentum is growing and contagious, and the sheer number
of cardicians now using a memorized stack has produced a synergy that is causing the
number of effects, tips, variations, and new principles to multiply exponentially.
I’m happy to have been part of the inspiration for this renaissance, but there’s no
reason to stop there. I’m constantly working on new memorized deck effects. So, it’s
about time that you joined the ranks also.
