help Simon Aronson FAQ
What is the Aronson stack?
The Aronson stack is a fixed order for all 52 cards developed by Simon Aronson. Once memorized, it lets a magician determine a card's position or identify the card at any named position.
Does using the Aronson stack eliminate sleight of hand?
Many effects rely mainly on memory, calculation, and the stack's built-in relationships, so difficult sleights are not always necessary. Other routines combine the memorized order with false shuffles, cuts, or card controls.
How is the Aronson stack different from Juan Tamariz's Mnemonica?
They are different memorized orders with different built-in effects and setup properties. Aronson's system is associated with books such as Bound to Please, while Tamariz explained Mnemonica in his book of the same name.
Why did Simon Aronson's legal career matter to his magic?
Aronson worked as an attorney while developing highly structured card routines and essays on magical construction. His published work is noted for treating method, presentation, and spectator assumptions as parts of one logical system.
