Since the publication of It All Depends, many people have asked me about var ious aspects of workin
with a stack. I have included this section with helpful tips and techniques that cover several import
aspects of stack work. Even if you are experienced with stack work, I highly recommend that you s

1) THAT WAS EASY: Discusses ways to prepare the deck of cards to efficiently find your way aroun stack. I would highly recommend making up a deck in the way I describe it and use it as you work through the routines in the book.

“THAT WAS EASY”
When working with a stacked deck, it is important to be able to find your way around it easily. This especially true when using a memorized deck or a stack that allows you to perform multiple stack dependent effects. The effects in this book are stack dependent. Some require that a card is moved and, as you will discover in chapter 4, things can get even more involved. While all of the routines in this book can performed in the real world without any preparation of the deck, it makes se nse to keep things as simple as possible. The simpler the set up is for a trick, the more likely you are to use it in your performances.
I take advantage of several strategies that allow me to find my way around the Aronson stack. The
not new ideas and every performer will have their own preferences. It will ultimately be up to you decide what techniques you will employ to help you.
I would like to share mine with you for two reasons. First, it’s possible you have not considered usin

key cards without any confusion.
The basic idea is to short less than half of the narrow ends of the cards. Each card is scallop shorted the opposite side to that of the other card. As you can see, in the picture below, the two cards are scallop shorted on opposing sides. The cuts have been exaggerated for clarity. The actual work I
into the cards is minimal. You don’t need to remove much of the card to get the desired effect.
It is important that when you are cutting the cards, you stop the scallop cut before you get to the
of the card. If you don’t, the cards will not work properly and you will get false information.
You will find that the use of these cards is fairly simple. If you want to find card #1 then run your ri
thumb up the left side of the back narrow end of the deck. To find #27 run your thumb up the righ

CONCLUSION
Sheet Music
Once again, all the routines in this book can be performed without the aids described above. I don
always use them, especially if I intend to give away the deck at the end of a performance. For most
my work, the spectators have only a few moments to actually handle the cards. Even if they were t casually examine them, they wouldn’t discover the secret preparation anyway. It hardly takes any to prepare a deck in this way and it provides you with a lot of extra help. To me it is very worth it.
One last thing: I use a temporary crimp as an aid in several effects in this book. I will assume you ar
familiar with different ways to crimp a card and take out the crimp when your need for it has ended tend to get rid of the crimp either during the routine or after the effect has ended. This allows me continue with a fresh deck and the ability to use a crimp in another card without confusion. (See Roberto Giobbi, Card College Vol. 2, pgs. 347-349, for several great crimping techniques.)

PLAYING FAVORITES
It is fun to see how routines can change as you continue to perform and refine them. The effects in
chapter are some old favorites that over time, further experimentation and input from othe r magic have improved since first being published.
The new thinking on the “family” of effects in this chapter started when I performed “The Double M
Reading Deck (Aces)” at the Carolina Close-Up Convention in 2009. Tyler Wilson, while compliment
of the trick, wondered if there were ways to improve the rationale for the spelling procedure. Our discussion spurred me on to look at the effect again and I discovered a way to improve the actual spelling sequences as well as using Tyler’s insights . If you enjoyed the original routines from It All Depends, then I think you will really enjoy the refinements given here.
Let me give you an overview of the changes so you can be aware of the differences before we ge the routines.

CREDITS
The origin of the effect in this chapter came from a group of “Mind Reading Deck” routines Simon Aronson in his book, Try the Impossible (2001). His routines also used the Aronson but the deck only read one mind and they needed a table to be performed.

far as I know, Paul Thomey was the first to create a story routine using the Aronson stack. His won
routine, “The Legend of Southside Johnny,” is here for you to enjoy as well!
I began my search to find a story routine that I would enjoy performing many years ago. After a de

4) A strong magical climax (something other than a poker deal).
Sheet Music
I don’t have any problem, in general, with poker deals and performing effects that utilize gambling themes (see CON-T.R.A.S.T. and the Poker-Tell Pack in this volume). Paul’s “The
Legend of Southside Johnny” is absolutely brilliant and uses a poker deal climax to great eff just wanted a very magical ending that would surprise and amaze an audience.
After deciding on the criteria, I set out to create a story. The fact that I ended up creating more tha
story and that they use the Aronson stack still amazes me. I didn’t set out to create a story routine
specifically with the Aronson stack. I just began to see the stories in the stack over time. One even came to me in a dream!
It is a great benefit that the stories are done with the stack you already are using for so many other
things. At the end of this section I will share some thoughts on how to use a story routine in the co of other routines without betraying your use of a stack. I think that this is an extremely important to consider carefully. In the stories that follow, I believe I have met the criteria I set for myself. I am happy to put these
routines on the table for your consideration. I am also honored that Paul has graciously allowed m
share his story routine with you as we ll. Honestly, I can’t believe that the Aronson stack can be use

1) Here is the way I set up for the routine with the deck face-down: begin by cutting the 3C to the
Crimp the bottom card (the 6H). Now spread over the top seven cards and cull the seventh card (th
8H) under the spread. Continue spreading the deck from left to right until you get close to the bott
third of the deck. Here you look for your secret mark on the 5S. When you see it, spread over one
card (the QD) and insert the culled card below it. The 8H is now between the QD and AH. Because JS is a short card, it is easy to cut it to the top.
2) The story can be changed to suit your own style and personality. The sleights used to produce th
cards can be changed to suit your skill level and personal preferences. Be c reative and really make t routine your own.
3) In an effort to keep the story realistic in this constantly changing economy, here is a way to chan the script if someday the two pizzas for nine dollars seems too crazy (even for Crazy Louie): say, “
always ordered two pizzas for nine bucks each. What a deal.” Another option is to change the sto something that happened in the past instead of the present.

APPENDIX: A
THE LARREVERSE The Larreverse, invented by Larry Jennings, is a very deceptive and versatile sleight that secretly
reverses a card in the deck. For several routines in this book, the Larreverse will be used to secretl reverse a card while turning an already face-up card face-down.
Let’s say you have a card face-up in the center of the deck. Above it is the face down card you want to secretly reverse. Spread through the deck until you see the face-up card. Break the spread with the face-up card on top of the left half. The right hand holds the upper half still in its spread condition. The bottom card of the right half is the card you wish to secretly reverse [Photo 1].

THE CARD SPREAD SWITCH Sheet Music
This technique allows you to switch one card for another in the act of merely turning over a face-up
in a spread of cards. As with the Larreverse taught above, there is a face-up card in the deck with a specific card face-down above it in the spread. This time you will switch the two cards instead of performing a secret reverse. Begin by spreading the cards to show the face-up card [Photo 1].
Use the right hand fan above the reversed card to flip the reversed card face-down. The right hand cards keep in contact with the reversed card as it is flipped face-down. The bottom
