And much of this material leaves the stack intact, a boon to the walkaround magician. But Simon also unearthed and created a host of new features and effects lurking within his own stack - exciting, fast, visual magic that is almost "automatic" (if you have the Aronson stack handy). And Simon himself kept creating and exploring this area. Many top-notch magicians realized the exciting potential that this tool had opened up, and soon began creating their own exciting magic with memorized decks in general and with the Aronson stack in particular. Both Card Ideas and A Stack to Remember are reprinted in full in Bound to Please. So, the following year, Simon published his booklet A Stack to Remember (1979), which set forth the Aronson stack, Simon’s complete set of mnemonics for learning it, and also the many built-in features unique to this arrangement (including three different poker demonstrations, a perfect bridge hand, poker routines, the Zens stack, and a spelling feature). When he published his treatise on the memorized deck in Card Ideas (1978), many magicians requested that he release his specific stack, so they could learn it. Simon Aronson created his stack over 40 years ago, and used it privately for many years. Welcome to a special page, devoted to exploring new uses and features of the Aronson stack.
