Mnemonica by Juan Tamariz - Reprinted

[RealityOne]

I know there has been a lot of folks that have been looking for this book and it has been out of print for a while... but... IT'S BACK.

Expect to see it at your favorite magic dealer within the next couple of days.

RELEASE THE MONKEYS!

Wait ... there's no monkeys?

Oh. Ok.

Finally! Thanks for the notification.

All we need now is The Magic Rainbow printed in English and we'll be in serious business! Good news for those who wanted to get their hands on Mnemonica!

 

[WitchDocIsIn]

I'd love the Magic Rainbow to be reprinted! Already got Mnemonica, The Magic Way, and 5 Points in Magic.

Still waiting for Sonata to come back in print or to find an inexpensive used copy.

Card College Volume 2 is back in stock at some dealers as well. I am sure there are folks looking for this one. Just got mine in the mail.

Even though I already own Sonata I would love a reprint with an updated translation as the English is a bit broken and a struggle to understand at some parts. A full complete Tamariz box set would be absolutely wonderful.

 

[WitchDocIsIn]

Agreed.

I have never done any mem deck work - closest I’ve done is a Si Stebbins

Is this REALLY worth getting if I want to do some really good card stuff?

Also - what levels of card handling are we talking bout here? Are we needing to be proficient in culls, side steals, bottom dealing etc = that level of card work?

Right there with ya buddy...... Little over a year into card magic myself.... Only one I know also is the Si Stebbins. I know the mnemonica but just don't have it memorized..... That is a goal hopefully within the next 6 months to achieve

The book actually teaches you how to memorize the deck. The effects don’t require a lot of difficult sleight of hand. Knowing some convincing false shuffles is an advantage. Like anything else, you get out what you put in.

Note to self, buy 2 so when they run out of stock I can sell one for $599 later.

How “shuffled” can the deck be once in order? I know w most stacks - only a (number of) cut can be done

If it can eventually deliver some amazing card effects I’m willing to put in the effort. Seems like the learning curve varies amongst people

It depends on the effect. For many effects you can do as many single cuts as you want. You are bet learning some false shuffles.

Ultimately, it is a question of whether you will perform the effects. If you will perform them, then it is worth it.

That’s hard to determine if I have never seen the range of effects listed in the book....

The crazy thing is, the effects in the book don't even come close to the number of actual effects you can do with the stack. Once you learn the stack you will already think of some pretty incredible applications. While on tour with Franco, I've seen him absolutely DESTROY people with the Mnemonica stack. It's pretty much not fair. Seeing him use it definitely makes me want to put the time in and learn it. Once you do, you'll pretty much know it for life and your repertoire will never be the same.
