‘Master Any Stack’ is the best, fastest and most user friendly way to memorize the order of a deck of cards. Create your own stacks or learn a pre-programmed one (such as mnemonica), learn our original method for memorization and game your way to stack mastery with our addicting practice settings. We’ve been teaching the memorized deck for YEARS and this app is the ultimate evolution of our knowledge, making your journey as seamless and enjoyable as possible. ‘Learn the Method’ Under this tab you’ll find video and text training all about our method for learning the stack. This knowledge is so sought after - 100’s of customers have paid $97 for it in the past. ‘Customize Your Stack’ So many people begin their journey to learning stack by asking a completely useless question: “Which stack?” We say: you can learn them all. Under this tab you’ll be able to pick a stack to practice, as well as add your own CUSTOM stacks. Essentially you can learn an infinite number of stacks with this app, or stick with those we’ve pre-programmed. (pre-programmed ft. Mnemonica, Aronoson, Sti-stebbins) ‘Practice P.A.O’ Our method for learning the stack uses the unique P.A.O Method (person, action, object.) You will be able to enter your own custom values and practice them within the app! In order to protect the integrity of our methods we won’t go any deeper into that here, but you will be able to practice P.A.O within the app. ‘Practice the Stack’ This is where you’ll spend most of your time. In the ‘practice the stack’ part of the app there are a lot of settings you can play around with! You can practice any part of the stack e.g. 1-10, 5-25, or 1-52 (anything you choose!) You can also practice based on suits, odd cards, even cards, red or black cards and more! You can also set your own rules for the training deciding whether you want to be timed, lose lives, or practice in free play mode. Your custom stacks also automatically sync with this part of the app. Each day you practice you’ll update your streak - get to thirty days and we’ll send you something special! This app is constantly being worked on to make it the best app in the magic industry regarding stack training - you won’t be disappointed. Buy now!
