Magic Tricks

OK, so I have posted this a couple times and have praised my friends for all they have accomplished. Now I am going to post my review. 4 Days! That is roughly how long it took me to lock in the Aronson stack. I do mean locked in. I can name card or number. Can tell you where are all four suits are located; in order or out of order! It really is amazing to think that I am able to pull them out this easy. I have tried many times to memorize a deck and could recall some of it for a little while, but that was as far as I got.
The book itself is of fantastic craftmanship. The size is very convenient. There is a book mark ribbon built in. I love that in a book! Pages are all glossy and heavy. Stiching and binding is very solid. Dust cover is nice, kind of like the brown paper bags we used to cover school books with. Overall, it is pretty book, that is worthy to be on anyone's shelf.
The content is entertaining and laid out in a convenient and enjoyable way. You can read the parts on the history or not. You are free to pick from multiple paths so you can learn what you want, how you want.
I made the decision to do one deck. The first day I spent about an hour locking in the names of the cards and the first 10 locations. I read the story up to 26 and stopped. Over the next three days, with a few hours each day I was able to memorize the remainder of the deck.
I find that now this morning, I have full recall of every card and every number. I can list where any suit is, starting at the beginning, end or in the middle. Not quite as fast as I would want for performance, but fast enough to make me say that this book is the best product I could have used to accomplish this!
