These filters, applied to the chosen approach, can be set: - ranges 1-13, 14-26, 27-39, 40-52, and a custom range - pair and impair positions - red and black cards - any of the four suits - court and number cards Some Features: - Aronson, Tamariz and user defined stacks - Lorrayne's peg words for the 52 cards and 52 positions, plus 3 user defined sets - display and whisper modes - includes the quick-touch interactive analyser visualising the solution path and allowing for self imposed problem statements with decadic and tridecadic layouts - feedback driven development - feels almost like a true deck of cards. Practicing card magic you don't want no complicated, overloaded and distracting user interface. Less is more. - probably the most complete, and straightforward solution available.
