I'm currently learning mnemonica stack and I'd like to perform with a borrowed deck.

What's the best resource on ways to get a shuffled deck into stack quickly and/or covertly?
 
If you’re just learning, I’d keep it simple and practice with a cheap deck rather than trying to build a complicated setup right away. A good false shuffle/cut combined with a memorized stack can get you surprisingly far, and there are plenty of tutorials online that walk through the process step by step.
