Karma Deck     $18  (PDF)

With an introduction by Richard Osterlind:

The new "KARMA DECK" is something I find very intriguing! Without having to memorize a single thing, the author has come up with a clever idea that will allow you to know the position in the deck of any card named or to know the name of a card at any position in the deck! As you read on you will see there is a stack, but there is absolutely zero memory involved in working it!

The experts say ...

"This is a fantastic idea. It's simple, elegant and practical. At last an age old problem has been solved and we now have a real world alternative to actually memorising 52 cards. Excellent!"
- Marc Paul

"The Karma Deck is an ingeniously simple memorized deck system. It is a powerful tool that every magician and mentalist should have in their armory. It is to a magician, what a hammer is to a carpenter. Highly recommended" - Charles Gauci


"This is an amazing system. I like it a lot" - Doc Eason

"This is a new system that I have never seen before. Very easy to remember, you can really learn an entire deck in 5 minutes! Well done!"
- Luca Volpe

"Wow! You've actually done it! Your Karma Deck System is an elegant synthesis of concepts that have long been at odds... but now you have them working together harmoniously! I had always hoped that some genius would come up with a rule-based system for quickly knowing the position of every card in the deck, and still allow me to perform all the cyclical-stack material I love. You are that genius! I'd be quite happy to endorse and promote it. In fact, I'd like to start using it in my act right away!" - Dan Harlan

"It shows originality and workability. I really like it. This is a delight to perform and a real fooler. Though I don't use cards, I was tempted to try this and happy I did." - Marc Salem

"It really took less than FIVE MINUTES!! This is astounding when you think of how many complicated systems are out there. This is, by far the easiest method I've ever read and I for one will be using it!!" - Paul Romhany

"I want to say that the concept is brilliant and it is amazing to me that such a pattern would be hidden in the cards - truly mysterious" - Christopher Taylor

"The Karma Deck is quite intuitive and very visual thus making it quick, simple and easy to learn and master the stack in a matter of just a few minutes. It will become your second nature. A great innovative idea." - 'Ustaad' Col. Narendra Singh

"You have developed a totally new approach to a Memorised Deck System. The method can certainly be learnt in a short time, and will appeal to many who find the traditional methods difficult to master. Highly recommended." - Graham Jolley.

"This certainly has the potential to be the easiest and most versatile stack ever. It's too early to crown it as such right now, but it is definitely the one that I'd recommend to anyone who needs to learn a stack and hasn't already or who isn't satisfied with the stack they know and wants to learn a different one." - Jheff

"I think this is one of the very best methods for memorising the order of a deck of cards without any memory work. For those who know the power of using a stacked deck then this will make life so much easier. It took me less than 5 minutes to understand the system and know where the cards are. This has other uses from stacked deck, memorized deck and algorithmic deck so you have lots of ways and effects you can do using this system. This is a great purchase." - Vanish magazine

"The Karma Deck is indeed a clever and different approach from anything else I've seen. I don't use a memorized deck, but if I found a need, I would certainly consider your method seriously." - Bruce Bernstein


Karma Deck is a zero memory, 5 minute memorythmic deck system. This is based on a very clever and innovative principle which is not known to have been used before. This is the optimal combination of a stacked deck, a memorized deck and an algorithmic deck. With minimal effort, even a beginner can master this in no time at all. Almost all the effects existing for a stacked, memorized or algorithmic decks can be performed with this, and far more easily.

Highlights:

  • Karma Deck is a game changer. 100% intuitive with zero memory work.
  • If a 12 year old can learn Karma Deck in just 6 minutes, you can definitely learn in 5.
  • Karma Deck can be used as a stacked deck, memorized deck or an algorithmic deck.
  • Karma Deck is based on a very innovative and clever principle (probably the world's first)
  • Given a position you can know the card. Given a card you can know its position.
  • Given a card you can know what card is before it as well as after it. Also, how many cards are above it and below it in the deck.
  • With Karma Deck, if you cut the deck you can know how many cards are in each pile. And also what cards are in each pile.
  • If you distribute Karma Deck to 52 people you can know who has what card for everybody.
  • Karma Deck works with any suit order of your choice like CHaSeD, SHoCkeD, DuCHeS etc etc.
  • Karma Deck system allows you to do amazing routines even without a deck of cards.
  • Almost all existing routines of any stacked or memorized or algorithmic decks can be done with Karma Deck. And much more easily.

If there is an Oscar Award for stack magic, I would give it to the Karma Deck without a second thought. The Karma Deck principle has redrawn the very foundations of stack magic as it has been structured so far. The history of stack magic will have 2 clear divisions now. Before Karma Deck and After Karma Deck. For me personally, this has entirely changed my thinking on stack magic and infact removed so many blocks. Calling this simply brilliant will be a gross understatement. Together with Karma Deck Pro and Kommando Kard, I have enough stack magic ammunition for the next decade, at least. I cannot recommend it enough.

Have been actually using the Karma Deck for over 6 months now.
Well, the basic idea of Karma Deck is pure genius, of course.
On the top of that, it is so versatile. The main principle can give you 6 different stacks.
And then it's solid power. I discovered in Amazers with Karma Deck. Many hidden patterns, which are totally invisible to the audience eyes.
Yet, so flexible. Multiple suit systems can be combined with the stack seamlessly.
The stage routine Deckcelence with the Karma Deck is a sheer delight to perform. A reputation maker.
Even when I did not use the stack for over 3 weeks, it was UNFORGETTABLE.
After using 8 Kings and Si Stebbins for over 15 years, I can say that Karma Deck is the best stack that happened to me, which will stay with me.

Karma Deck Pro     $30  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"In Karma Deck Pro the Unknown Mentalist expands his principles to give you a cornucopia of stacks to choose from. If you want you can even learn them ALL (it's not that hard) which will give you enough different stacks for a life time! I really am a big fan of Unknown Mentalist's thinking, Karma Deck Pro is one of the simplest and quickest to learn stacks I know BUT it's the flexibility of the system which is truly staggering. Pay particular attention to the Suit Ordering System as this can be applied to other traditional stacks BUT it eliminates the weakness of the four suits rotating. If you are into stack deck magic or even if you are just beginning; Karma Deck PRO is a must have." - Marc Paul

"I have read your Karma Deck Pro. It contains a lot of amazing material. I love your "Two Way Inversely Mirrored Value Position Pairing" regarding the Karma Deck Principle. Also, the SOS volume 3 is a great idea." - Dr. Hans Christian Solka

Karma Deck Psyclical     $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"Very well written. Great Job!" - Dr. Hans Christian Solka



Highlights:

This ebook gives you 7 cyclical stacks based on the Karma Deck. The stacks have random sequence of values and suits and it is very easy to know the next card given any card in the stack.

Basically the Karma Deck was designed for use as a memorized deck without the sweat of actually memorizing it. One could learn the Karma Deck in 5 minutes and then know which card is in which position and vice versa. The basic principle was simple enough for that and at the same time powerful enough to generate 7 different stacks with the same fundamental principle (Karma Deck Pro). And all this is done without compromising on the randomness of values and suits.

Karma Deck Psyclical has been designed to fulfill a specific need. The need to use the Karma Deck as a simple cyclical stack in which quickly knowing the next card of any given card is enough to create some great stack magic.

Mnemonic based stacks like the 8 Kings stack, although have random sequence of values, depend on brute memorization. Algorithm based stacks like the Si Stebbins stack, although no memory required and easy to calculate, are not random enough and the pattern is easily recognizable. Further, in both the above type of stacks, the suit sequence generally used is chased, shocked etc which are red/black alternating patterns.

So here is Karma Deck Psyclical which clearly fulfills this particular need. A cyclical stack with random values and suits but without the sweat of memory work. And without using the regular chased, shocked etc suit systems. An easy method for knowing the next card given any card in the stack is explained.

Also included are 3 killer routines with a mentalism flavor.

The Unknown Psychic
The Standout Couple
The Better Half

IMHO, this is absolutely unbeatable. No other stack can offer so much - I'm pretty sure. All this without any memory work. There is no problem even if I do not perform stack magic regularly. Truly ideal benefits. Planning to pick up Deckcelence & Amazers soon. The routines in Psyclical as well as Karma Deck Pro are fab and solid.

Amazers with Karma Deck     $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"Your work and techniques are Brilliant" - Marc Salem



Highlights:

Five elegant routines. Simple and self-working. Long lasting lingering impact. No forces. Novel and refreshing presentation themes, patter pieces and scripting bits.

1. JUNE -- Performed using participant's month of birth. Participant chooses two cards related to her birth month this year and the next. And you have predicted both.

2. U -- Performed using participant's first name (NOT a spelling effect). Participant chooses two cards related to his first name and you have predicted both.

3. TRYST -- You show a participant your prediction in advance and she successfully transmits it telepathically to her partner. Includes an exciting alternative presentation.

4. TWIST -- A baffling variation of TRYST which doubles the odds and still hits bullseye. TYM -- A mysterious experiment to check whether a participant's past, present and future add up to his destiny. And the outcome is stunning.

BONUS ROUTINE - LUCKEY 13

A baffling prediction routine which is totally self working. Based on a unique hidden principle of the Karma Deck. A participant deals cards from a shuffled deck and stops at any card. Free choice and no force. The performer has already predicted this choice perfectly. Includes some enigmatic patter and a novel "Luckey 13" counting along with 4 alternative handlings.

Can be performed within 10 minutes of reading the routines and secrets.

No peeking or switching. Self working and hands off. You look like a freaking genius.

Each of the 7 phases is independent of each other. Flexible enough to be performed from 10 mins to 45 mins by choosing any number of phases in any order you may want.

The experts say ...

"I am very happy that the Unknown Mentalist sends me his works before the release to have look at them. Also this time he has a very good idea creating a single card that will allow you to create little miracles anytime. Well done!" - Luca Volpe

"You’ve come up with another great principle that enables some very interesting card mentalism, but without the cards!" - Marc Paul

"You are the real thing. This is brilliant." - Marc Salem



Highlights:

Are you alone and deckless? No problem. Now "deckless" does not mean "powerless" anymore. Just have this one single Kommando Kard with you in your wallet or pocket and you are set to perform these 15 amazing routines, without ever needing a deck of playing cards.

Yes, this is deckless stack magic and deckless card mentalism rolled into one. A path breaking style and refreshingly new way of performing card mentalism using the Karma Deck stack (you will need to be familiar with the Karma Deck), but without having a physical deck of playing cards on you. With just this one Karma Deck Kommando Kard you can perform these 15 mental miracles and play it up like almost pure, propless mentalism. You can do away with all the finger flinging, deck handling, shuffling - false or otherwise, sleights and all that business of examining the deck by the audience etc.

When you actually use a deck of cards, the deck somehow becomes the center of attraction and however much we try, the audience remain with a feeling that after all it could be a card trick. Also there is a long standing debate whether it is appropriate to use playing cards in a mentalism act. Kommando Kard is the ideal solution for this.

The mentalist can now actually use playing cards without using a physical deck of cards. So it all remains a purely 'mind thing' without getting 'physical'. And in this case the mind power of the performer is the center of attraction and not some deck of cards. The Kommando Kard comes across as a very casual and natural aid.

The idea of a Kommando Kard is very simple. But in that simplicity lies its power and flexibility. No sleights, no stooges, no preshow, no reset. Completely self working and works anytime, anywhere with anyone. Just the knowledge of the stack is what is required. For some routines even that is not required. Instantly repeatable with different outcomes. Highly flexible from a 1 minute close up encounter to a 15 minute stage act. Street, parlor or walk around. Very easy to perform with high impact.

You get here the readymade design of the prop/gimmick. Just print and use. You also get 4 different stack versions for you to print and use. Alternate method to do the routines without actually knowing any of the stacks is also explained.

The 15 routines explained are as follows.

1. MINI MEMORY DEMONSTRATION
2. BIRTHDAY MIND READING
3. MYSTIC MIND READING
4. SERIAL MIND READING
5. LIE DETECTOR TEST
6. ZODIAC REVELATION
7. DESTINY DATES
8. HOLIDAY DIVINATION
9. TWO HALF TRUTHS & ONE NAKED LIE
10. 2 HALF TRUTHS, 2 SECRETS & 1 NAKED LIE
11. PSYCHIC ENVELOPES
12. NUMERIC ENVELOPES
13. BOLD ENVELOPES
14. LUCKY TODAY
15. BILL KILLER

If there is an Emmy Award for stack magic, I would give it to Kommando Kard. I bow to the Unknown Mentalist for his devious mind and extraordinary out of box thinking. Kommando Kard is more like a one man army or a multipurpose swiss army knife. The very premise of deckless card magic and that too stack magic is mind blowing. 15 killer routines on this theme is a great achievement. KK will now be a permanent occupant of my wallet.

13mm of Si Stebbins     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

This is a secret method in plain sight. Maybe this can also be called as Si Stebbins Easy Memory System.

A simple method to use Si Stebbins +3 stack as a Memorized Deck. Given a card position you will know the card identity or vice versa, very easily. Once you learn this you are bound to get the "why didn't I think of this myself" feeling. There is also a novel but easy suit sequencing method which makes the suit order more random instead of the red/black alternating look of chased, shocked etc.



A cool routine is also included where the performer "subtracts the participant's problems from his destiny and makes him the King of his own fate." Easy and self working without any sleights.

Included is a SINGLE EFFORT DOUBLE PAYOFF BONUS. You will love this.

Also included is a SINGLE EFFORT TRIPLE PAYOFF BONUS. You will absolutely love this.

As part of this, you will learn what I prefer to call the CID STEBBINS STACK to remember the magician who actually introduced the Si Stebbins stack to Si Stebbins.

Now in its 2nd edition it contains some very useful suggestions shared by Dr. Hans Christian Solka.

As far as 13 mm of si stebbins, I think you have another winner. So far I like your card stacks in the following order: SLOKA DECK, KARMA DECK, 13 MM (with the random stack ideas toward the end of your ebook), and YOGIK DECK. Each of these are winners in my opinion and I can't wait to see your other stacks. They are great with some mental routines that I use the decks for.

Of course, this is more of a 'discovery' rather than a new invention. But what an amazing discovery it is. In one shot, this elevates SS stack many notches. SS is now an instant memorized stack. On top of that it combines with the cool random suit method and finally comes out as a killer professional stack. And the best part is even a kid can now learn this in no time at all.

6 Special Stebbins Stacks in 60 Startling Seconds     $18  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"IMHO it is a very valuable book with new views and observations in the Si Stebbins field. You describe 8 not 6 stacks. Very Interesting! Its logical by a mathematical point of view but up to now overlooked by magicians. This is IMHO the most valuable fact in your book - One must learn only the first 6 positions in a bank - not all 12/13! New are your terms Lucky Numbers and Deck Value, I will use them. I like your creative idea of the "60 seconds approach". The Octopus Date is a great and amazing original routine but one can play this routine only in the right context. I will give your routine a try in the next time. I'm very excited. Your style is very similar to one of my idols - the German Dr. Aloys Christoph Wilsmann (1899 - 1966) who invented dozens of such (mathematical based) amazing routines. He was a genius. Great job!" - Dr. Hans Christian Solka



Highlights:

An unbelievably simple method. No Kidding. You will learn 6 special Si Stebbins stacks in just 60 startling seconds. Does it sound Strange? Shocking? Staggering? Yes, it is simply superb! Just one simple set of easy rules and you can learn 6 stacks in one shot. And all of these as memorized decks, not just cyclical stacks.

In the earlier release 13MM of Si Stebbins, with one single effort you could get triple payoff. Here, your one single effort gives you 6 times the payoff. The rules are so easy that a school kid could learn this in no time at all. Imagine the power of having 6 memorized decks at your finger tips. That too by knowing just one set of simple and easy principles, which almost become intuitive when you get familiar with them.

You can know the card in any position or the position of any card. For ALL the stacks. Also you can know the preceding and succeeding cards for any given card in any stack.

And for your single effort there is a bonus too. In addition to the 6 stacks mentioned, you can learn 2 more stacks without any additional effort. This is like putting rocket fuel into a Si Stebbins stack and sending it zooming into orbit.....multiple orbits!

Of course, with this type of stack power, you can do multiple mega memory type stunts and routines to repeatedly fry any type of audience. If ever there is an Oscar award or Olympic medal for card stacks, you will be in with a serious chance to win it with this. As if this was not enough, a mega card miracle act is included.

The Octopus Date

A 3 phase mega card miracle act. No sleights, no stooges, no pre-show. Totally self working. Completely hands off. The climax in each phase builds up into a crescendo in the final phase. Repeatedly kills the audience without survivors. Involves 12-15 audience members as participants. A stunning piece of card mentalism.

And the best part is, to perform this, the performer need not know any stacks at all. No memory work. No math work. Only polished presentation and pure showmanship.

This 8-in-1 discovery is a game changer. I can now intuitively SEE all 8 stacks, yes it is 8 and not just 6. And after seeing this terrific suit system and how it plays for all the stacks, you will never go back to the red/black pattern of chased or shocked etc.

1415AD     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

This year, 2018, marks the 100th anniversary of a fantastic principle which was first proposed in 1917. Although, many performers are unaware of this today, here are a few hard hitting card mentalism routines based on this fantastic principle combined with what I would like to call "Multiple Ins" principle (as opposed to the well known Multiple Outs principle). Well, the intention is to continue the suspense about what this principle is, into the first few pages of this ebook.

There are 3 stunning routines, several variations and a secret bonus.



All the routines are mostly self working. After initially shuffling the deck, the performer tables it and never touches it again. So they are hands off too. There is good audience participation, ranging from 2 to 8 audience members who can be invited to participate in the routines - all depending on how long you intend to perform the routine. These can be played as either prediction effects or mind reading effects.

The secret bonus will be surely appreciated by the fans of this great principle. All the routines appear very direct and end with an exciting climax.

Rasik Deck     $18  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"I have been resonating with your material to date, starting with the Karma Deck and now simply fascinated with the possibilities of the Rasik Deck. I have thoroughly enjoyed studying the Karma Deck, and its wonderful application to the Si Stebbins deck, the Rasik Deck - the Golden Fleece of Si Stebbins setups!" - Rick Silberman



Highlights:

A classik twist to a classik stack. Now this 2nd edition includes a printable image of the Rasik Deck stack for visual practice and a cool method suggested by Rick Silberman for getting into the Rasik Deck stack from new deck order.

A Shocked Duchess became Si Stebbins' Karma (Destiny). If Si Stebbins would have learnt the Karma Deck this would have been the result. The Rasik Deck is the surprising result of applying the Karma Deck principle to the age old Si Stebbins stack. And added to this is a novel method of using existing suit systems to create a random suit sequence. So the final end result is a fabulously refreshing stack with many rich possibilities and multiple potential. This is flexible enough to either fit well in your existing Karma Deck bouquet or stand out as a fully independent stack by itself. The word Rasik has its origin in the ancient Sanskrit language. It means "connoisseur". And, in the true tradition of the Karma Deck, this too is a deck for the 'connoisseur' of stack magic.

There is also an interesting revelation about the origin of the Si Stebbins stack.

Yogik Deck     $18  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"You are unbelievably fantastic, and ripe with GREAT ideas." - Marc Salem

"His passion for stacked decks is so big that also with this release he gives us demonstration of his ability to combine two well known principles in one! Making all easy and at the same time hiding the secrets even more. I wish him continue success!" - Luca Volpe

"I'm surprised that no one has thought of this before. Combining two different stacks will certainly fool those "in the know" about stacked decks. I hope others take your encouragement and try other combinations of different stacks to see what they can develop. Your "Haunted Hotel" can easily be presented with other story lines as well, so the magician can present a routine tailored to suit his/her needs. Very nice, indeed." - Stephen A. Yachanin



Highlights:

What would happen if "8 Kings chased Mr. Stebbins and shocked his wits?"

This is an idea that got delayed by 25 years. And I am sorry for the delay. Although familiarity with 8 Kings and Si Stebbins stacks would help, you can also apply this Yogik Deck idea/principle to any other stacks of your choice and create your own new customized stack.

Included is a spooky-comic routine which is probably possible only with the Yogik Deck.

HAUNTED HOTEL (It had only 13 rooms)

Travelers who lost their way. Past sunset. A lonely haunted hotel. 3 rooms out of the total 13 rooms are supposedly haunted. The magician uses his powers to stunningly reveal which 3 are haunted. Comes complete with scripting, presentation, patter and printable props. Surprisingly, this routine is almost self working and very easy to perform.

Also included is a fascinating revelation about the possible origin of 8 Kings stack and Si Stebbins stack.

Sloka Deck     $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"I happened to start buying your items from Lybrary.com and am very amazed with them. I love your SLOKA deck and its random stack. What an easy way to learn the stack and the cards really do look like a random order." - David Burmeister



Highlights:

Sloka Deck is a mnemonic deck based on probably the world's smallest mnemonic for a full deck card stack. A practical alternative to brute memorization and math rules. This creates an almost instant stacked deck for you. Very tiny and yet powerful mnemonic holds the key to your 52 cards. An easy and practical rule is embedded into this tiny mnemonic to aid instant recall. You will be able to know the entire stack within minutes of reading the instructions.

Basically, given a card you can instantly know the previous and next cards. And with a little visualization, this can be used as a memorized deck system also.

This "micro mnemonic" is not only easy to remember but very difficult to forget. So even if you do not do stack magic regularly or have to do it after a long time, it is unlikely that you will ever forget it. The mnemonic is so convenient that you do not even need a deck of cards to practice. You can use a piece of paper and pen or just practice in your mind.

Sloka Deck works fine with existing suit systems like chased, shocked etc. An innovative method to randomize the suits is included. Alternately, you can choose to use the suit systems given in my SOS 1 and SOS 2.

In addition, the second edition contains alternative mnemonics, a couple of routines, a new technique 'Sing Read' which is a reverse process of readings and a list of routines of various creators which can be done with Sloka Deck, compiled by David Burmeister.

Almost all the routines available out there for stacked decks can be performed with the Sloka Deck.

Fun Stacks     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

This is a fun and novel approach to creating and remembering a random full deck stack very easily. The stacks look very random and no pattern is visible - because there is no pattern. There is no need of any brute memorization and also no math is involved. Extremely easy to learn and also, more importantly, extremely easy to recollect.

Probably for the first time, numbers are used in a clever way but without using any mathematics. As practical examples of this approach, two new stacks are explained. These are 'The 1260 Stack' and 'The 78 Stack'. The objective here is to create cyclical stacks which have no obvious +3 or +4 patterns like the Si Stebbins or which do not need brute memorization like the 8 Kings stack.



After learning this approach, you can even create your own such stacks or simply put to use the 1260 or 78 stacks which are explained. Almost all the stack magic tricks available for Si Stebbins or 8 Kings stacks can be performed with these stacks.

These stacks are optimally useful for non-regular or occasional performers of stack magic and beginners in card magic in general, who may not want to invest lot of time and effort into 'acquiring' a new stack initially. Although these stacks are meant to be used as cyclical stacks, with a little extra effort these can also be used as memorized stacks, if required.

'The 8000 Stack' and 'The 700 Stack' are also explained in the 2nd edition.

Monk Stack     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

The Monk Stack is a simple cyclical stack. It was designed to solve two famous problems of the Si Stebbins stack and the 8 Kings stack. Like the Si Stebbins stack, this does not have an obvious sequence. And unlike the 8 Kings, this does not need the memorization of a mnemonic.

In fact, the single, simple rule of the Monk Stack is so easy that you will learn the stack instantly after reading the rule. Not only that, it will also be almost impossible for you to forget the rule thereafter. Frankly, the cool rule which is the core of the Monk Stack can be stated in just one single sentence. The rest of the content in this manuscript is the mandatory stuff like 'Introduction', 'full stack table' etc.



Most of the routines which are out there for Si Stebbins or 8 Kings stacks should be possible to be performed with the Monk Stack. Basically, any routine which just needs the performer to know the next card to the 'peeked' card should be possible with this Monk Stack.

The Monk Stack should be ideal as a 'transition' or 'stepping stone' stack for beginners in stack magic who find Si Stebbins too obvious, 8 Kings too time taking and other memorized decks to be still some time away for investing substantial amounts effort. Of course, with the exception of the Karma Deck. The regular stack magic practioners may find this idea novel, interesting and refreshing.

Lucky Deck     $18  (PDF)

Highlights:

This is a combo of 2 ebooks. Lucky Deck and Suit Order Systems Vol. 5.

Lucky Deck is a very special stack. Because this arrangement of the deck can be used both as a memorized deck and/or as a cyclical stack. Both the values and suits look fairly random. Just by learning 3 simple and easy rules, you will be able to pick up the entire stack within no time. Probably by the time you finish reading this manuscript, you should be able to pick up this stack.



Given any position, you will be able to name the card and vice versa. Also given any card, you will be able to get the next card as well. A very unique 'force' feature of the Lucky Deck will enable you to frame many interesting routines. Of course, a little practice will make you absolutely perfect.

The Karma Deck which was released a couple of years back is based on a highly intuitive principle. Many stacks released subsequently like Sloka Deck, Monk Stack, Yogik Deck, Fun Stacks etc were based on different principles. But this Lucky Deck is based on robust logic but very easy to grasp and use.

As a bonus, SOS Vol. 5 is included here, which explains 3 interesting methods for ordering suits for any stack.

Optik Deck     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

Optic Deck is an optical/visual memorized deck. You 'see' a number 1-52 in your mind's eye and you 'optically' or visually know what card is at that number. Similarly you 'see' any card in your mind's eye and you again 'optically' know what position the card is at.

The stack looks very random, the suits look random, there is no red/black alternating pattern and even after reasonable scrutiny it would be almost impossible to spot a sequence, because there is none. Even magicians after being told that there is a stack involved will find it extremely difficult to spot the stack.



This is a monodistic stack meaning there are no repeating banks of cards. The underlying principle is probably a new approach in the field of card stacks. Optic Deck is very easy to learn and use.

There are no algorithms, no formulae, no brute memorization, no mnemonic phrases, no complicated rules. Best of all the card values and card suits do not have separate tracks to work out. You get both of them in one stroke instantly.

Stacks are a pet subject of mine. There are several stacks I created over the past couple of decades. But started releasing them only recently from 2015 starting with the Karma Deck which is still the number one best selling stack on Lybrary. A few of them like Sloka Deck, Monk Stack, Fun Stacks, Stebbins Surprise Stack etc. have been released but a majority of my stacks are yet to be released. Each of these stacks has its own specialty but the common property is they are all easy to learn and use. None of them need days or weeks of struggle to acquire. Of course, for every stack a little practice is always helpful in the early stages of learning that stack.

The strength of Optic Deck is its unconventional construction and lateral approach to learning it.

King Stack     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

The King Stack is a cyclical stack. Probably the world's easiest cyclical stack to date. As easy as the Si Stebbins stack. But much more random looking for both values and suits. If you can add 1 and 2 then you can instantly learn the King Stack, it is that simple and easy. It should not take more than 3 minutes to actually fully learn it. The real core principle of this stack can be explained in just 2-3 sentences. It is that simple and yet looks fairly random.

The King Stack is so named because the Kings have a special place in this stack and play a key role. A hidden beauty of the King Stack is that with a little more effort, one can also learn to use this as a memorized deck. All that is fully and clearly explained.



Using another hidden feature of this King Stack, a prop less (the deck of cards is used just as a tool and not as any prop for the which hand routine) and totally self working which hand routine is also included which is both fun and baffling. You will surely enjoy the look on the face of your participant at the end of this routine.

This is one of the simplest stacks I have ever learned. It took me about 10 minutes to get the stack and the random suit order firmly implanted in my mind. To me the advantage in using this stack is that you can QUICKLY calculate the next card in the stack when you need the information almost IMMEDIATELY for certain mentalism effects. Another couple of bonuses are you can easily use this stack as a memorized deck and also the bonus which hand effect is also good.

Now my favorite stacks are the SLOKA DECK, KARMA DECK and KING STACK!

Kalendeck is a calendar deck. If at all it is possible to "Pre-Know" any stack, it is this. In other words, you probably already know this stack but you are simply not aware of it. If you know the basics of a calendar, then you already know most of this deck. Or you can easily pick this up in just a few minutes. It is that easy and that simple.

Kalendeck is a memorized deck which looks very random and well shuffled - both values and suits. Given any position, you know the card instantly and vice versa. It may take all of about ten minutes for you to learn this stack. Of course, practice may take a couple of hours. No rote memorization required.



Kronos Deck is a variation of Kalendeck and is included here. Now you decide which one of these two stacks is the easier one. A lot of bonus material is also included.

Bonus Stacks included:

1. Era Deck
2. CMC Stack
3. Almanac Stack

This is another GREAT deck stack that belongs in every mentalists collection. I don't know how the UNKNOWN MENTALIST has a gift to come up with these stacked decks but it's a steal at the price. I recommend it very highly. Well done UNKNOWN MENTALIST!

This is another Card Stack that is priceless to the performer. If you like Fun Stack, SLOKA DECK, KALEN DECK, you will love this stack too.

I liked it so much that I stayed up until 2:30 AM last night working on my own personal Number Stack and SOS 3 out of the KARMA DECK PRO for the SUIT STACK. It takes a bit of work to personalize it as your own but is well worth it. This and the SLOKA deck will be a couple of a few favorites. This is worth the money in my opinion and they will be yours also. Great job UNKNOWN MENTALIST.

Suit Order Systems 1     $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"I love your thinking behind your Suit Order Systems" - Dr. Hans Christian Solka



Highlights:

SOS Vol.1 gives you a set of 4 simple rules with which one can generate 24 different suit sequences. These suit sequences can be applied to any stacked deck including the Karma Deck or Rasik Deck or Sloka Deck.

Even though there are many, many different types of stacked decks available, when it comes to generating unique and random suit sequences there are very few options available like chased, shocked etc whose red/black alternating pattern may become a limiting factor sometimes. The objective of Suit Order Systems is to fill this gap. Also, this could be very useful if you are also a creator of card magic.

Also included are

ELEVENTH SENSE - A cute and clean routine with the theme of aura reading. An almost self-working effect which works with any one of the above 24 suit sequences. And it does not even need a value stack except a suit sequence. Creates a truly baffling impact. An alternative method is also included.

TELEZOOM - A stunning routine with the theme of telepathic zooming where the minds of multiple audience members are read remotely over telephone. Works with any stacked deck including the Karma Deck or Rasik Deck.

Suit Order Systems 2     $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"I love your thinking behind your Suit Order Systems" - Dr. Hans Christian Solka



Highlights:

This SOS series is probably the "world's first super store for ordering suits".

  • Can be easily applied to any memorized, algorithmic or mnemonic deck systems including the memorythmic Karma Deck system or Rasik Deck or Sloka Deck.
  • Provides more sufficiently random alternatives to the popular red/black alternating systems like CHaSeD, SHoCkeD, DuCHeS etc.
  • Given any number 1-52, you know the suit instantly.
  • Allows you to create your own personal stack.
  • This volume gives you two sets of 4 simple rules. With each set you can generate up to 24 random and unique suit sequences.
  • Also included is a recipe to fry your audience.
DENSITY OF DESTINY

The destiny of your actions is influenced by the density of your thoughts. In other words the actions of your body are influenced by the thoughts of your mind. It is NOT a coincidence that 'destiny' and 'density' are anagrams.

EFFECT

A spectator selects a number. Another spectator chooses a card. Now a sealed packet which was in full view the entire time is opened by a third spectator only to find a sealed case of a deck of cards. This case is unsealed by a fourth spectator. The deck of cards is brought out. The chosen card is found at the chosen number. Not only that, the words "the density of destiny is heavy" are found written on the face of the chosen card only. The beauty is that this is instantly repeatable with a different outcome.

Suit Order Systems 4     $06  (PDF)

Highlights:

This series of Suit Ordering Systems is probably the world's first 'super store' for ordering suits. The main purpose of these various Suit Ordering Systems is to create a random sequence of suits while retaining a secret pattern visible only to the performer. The applicability of these SOS methods is for various stacks like memorized, algorithmic, mnemonic decks including Karma Deck, Rasik Deck, Yogik Deck, Sloka Deck or Fun Stacks etc.

Initially SOS Vol 1 and SOS Vol 2 were released. Subsequently, SOS Vol 3 was released as part of Karma Deck Pro 11-ebook bundle. And now this latest volume contains a very easy method of randomizing suits while remembering the position to suit association effortlessly.

These ideas will be interesting and useful for stack magic enthusiasts only.

Her Majesty Deck     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

Her Majesty Deck is named thus because in this stack the Queen is called Her Majesty for an innovative reason. This is a memorized deck that is easier to learn, remember and use than Mnemonica or Aronson stacks. Most probably, you will be able to learn this stack on the same day that you read this manuscript.

The first few cards of Her Majesty Deck are as follows: AC 3D 2D 9H 7H JS 5H KS 4H QD 6S

You can perform almost all the stack independent memdeck material out there with this deck too.


BONUS

As a bonus, the Dictum Deck is also included. This is a cyclical stack that is very random-looking and yet almost as easy to learn as the Si Stebbins stack.

The first few cards of this stack are as follows: AC 9H QD XC 7H JD 3C 6S 8D 5C 2S 4D

Again, you can perform almost all the cyclical stack material out there with this deck too. If I remember right, this is the 27th stack I have released.

The UNKNOWN MENTALIST has done it again. First of all who say they hate Mathematics, I know a lot of people do not think they are good at Mathematics. I believe if I remember correctly that in one of Al Mann's Mentalisim Manuscripts that a reporter asked Richard Himber "How do Mentalist's read minds?" Richard Himber's reply was "By Mathematics." I think that many Mentalist's put the blame on the technique rather than simplifying everything for the spectator to easily understand. In my opinion this goes for Progressive and Branching Anagrams also. My main thought here is The UNKNOWN MENTALIST has put together another Card Stack that is absolutely a well thought out Stack that is well worth $6.00 and even more. Of all the Card stacks I have of his I am only one that I don't use at all. Well done UNKNOWN Mentalist. PLEASE!!! keep putting out your card stacks and other material.
