In 1979, Simon Aronson gave the world of magic an incredible tool - A Stack To Remember - which has come to be known as the "Aronson stack," a seemingly random arrangement of cards that has amazing miracle properties built into it.
Many magicians have avoided adding memorized deck work to their repertoires because of the daunting task of committing a stacked deck to memory. Struggling to grasp the associations of the cards and their locations within the stack, most quit after a few hours or days. I was the same way... until a Harry Anderson manuscript got me to thinking about how to make this process easier.
PMS, my Peg Memory System, was born. Suddenly, I found that it was not only easy but FUN to commit the stack to memory (I myself learned the stack in an hour while driving)!
"Aronson Stack for Everybody" is a streamlined, GRAPHICAL method for easily and quickly learning the Aronson stack (all with Simon's stamp of approval).
BTW, this same technique works great for EVERY memorized stack out there including Mnemonica by Juan Tamariz, The Six-Hour Memorized Deck by Martin Joyal, the Nikola stack and others.
Even though THERE ARE NO ACTUAL TRICKS TAUGHT IN THIS MANUSCRIPT, it does contain LINKS to several FREE memorized deck tricks and other resources (including a FREE e-book from Simon Aronson himself)! Please refer to the writings of Aronson, Tamariz, Close and others for the many uses of this incredible tool.
For tricks using the Aronson stack, see the WORKSHOP manuscript (below).
====== Testimonials ======
"I can't thank you enough for sharing your PMS with us. I GOT this! I never thought I would be able to do this, but I actually memorized a stacked deck! I tried several times [with other systems] to commit a stack to memory, and failed miserably each time. It was a tedious struggle, and I got frustrated because I kept backsliding. Eventually, I lost interest. NOW, because I can recall the card/position, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Eventually, I will be able to say I mastered a stacked deck, and it will be because of YOU. Thank you SO much!"
-- Darryl H.
"I have been reading "Aronson Stack for Everybody." Wow, what a GREAT book! The PMS is even BETTER than I expected. I can now name EVERY card based on its stack number. The system is really easy to use, and doesn't take long to master. I have tried in the past to learn the Aronson stack, but it never worked for me. YOUR system worked, and it was EASY! A BIG THANKS for making these notes available! You could charge TWICE the amount for these notes and they would still be a bargain."

Regarding Aronson Stack For Everybody and Mnemonica For Everybody: "Great booklets! They are terrific!"

THREE, CUSTOM-DESIGNED COMPUTER APPLICATIONS!

• "ARONSON STACK FOR EVERYBODY TRAINER": a full-color, multi-function app to quiz you on the cards and stack numbers as well as helping you practice "ACAAN For Everyone" from the manuscript.
• "4 ON THE FLOOR TRAINER": a full-color app designed to help you easily practice one of the effects from the trick manuscript that uses 4 spectators (a BIG help if you don't have 4 spectators handy for practicing).
• "LIMELIGHT TRAINER": a full-color app to practice a quick & simple SILENT CODE.
For those interested, The Workshop Manuscript PDF (without the computer apps disk), is available for $20 (PDF only, sent via email)
Important Note:
The Workshop Manuscript contains tricks, moves and techniques to supplement the knowledge you have from my "Aronson Stack For Everybody" learning system. This manuscript does NOT teach you the Aronson stack! Although there are some "stack independent" ideas, tricks and techniques in this book, some of this manuscript uses pegwords taught in my PMS system and will make sense only to those who are familiar with my "Aronson Stack For Everybody" book.

PERSONALIZED
1-on-1 Instruction of my "PMS" Learning System
for either the Aronson or Tamariz Stack

which ALSO includes a FREE PDF manuscript of either the Aronson Stack or Mnemonica (see descriptions above)
Okay, you're a card magician and you've got some down time. You've always wanted to learn a memorized deck but felt it was too formidable. NOBODY in their right mind wants to sit down and do brute force memorization. I get that. I would NEVER in a thousand years do that either (I tried and gave up fairly quickly).
Then I stumbled upon a radical new way (actually, it's a simplified/modified version of an old system) to easily remember a memorized deck WITHOUT having to go through the weeks and weeks of pain and practice. I WAS FLOORED!
Since then, I have thoroughly developed this simplified - streamlined - system to make learning a memorized stack easy (and actually FUN)! I call it "PMS" (for Peg Memory System).
Let me iterate that I am not a memory genius with some weird aptitude toward this kind of stuff. I'm a regular person (probably just like YOU). But I figured out a way to make it all make sense and now I want to share it with you. If I can do it, ANYBODY can.
(Not to brag but this easy peasy system let me learn BOTH the Aronson and Tamariz stacks!)
I am now offering PERSONALIZED 1-on-1 training to anyone ANYWHERE who is interested in learning either the Aronson Stack or the Tamariz Stack (a.k.a. Mnemonica) in a short series of Skype/Zoom sessions ($50 for TWO 1-hr sessions). This price ALSO includes a pdf of the book (a $15 value), a pdf of my card marking systems, as well as my preferred handling of ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number). The simple TIPS I'll give you will BLOW YOUR MIND and make this the MOST FUN trick you can do for anyone!
I GUARANTEE that at the end of the two hours of training you'll have a firm grasp of EVERY card in the stack.
NO-RISK GUARANTEE: If for any reason at the end of the training you decide that this system isn't easy, fun, effective or just isn't for you, we will part as friends and you will owe nothing (and you can keep the pdfs). No hard feelings.
You have everything to gain and NOTHING to lose. PM or email me today and we can talk.
Thanks,
Geoff

What an awesome offer...I hope other magicians take advantage of your kind offer."
