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.

Thanks for the tips!

I have a good go to false shuffle ready to go.

I have tried to keep my deck already set up in a stack, but sometimes I like to do some cardistry on the go. I do cardistry to fidget and put the cards back right away when I need to move. I also don't have the space to carry 2 decks.

That's why I'm looking for the best ways to get the deck into a stack in front of spectators.

I don't even know if there are any methods that are practical lol. Just reaching out to anyone who can do this and wants to share their preferred method.

I'm also curious to hear anyone's workarounds for scenarios like this!

Juan Tamariz’s Mnemonica is the best starting point. For a borrowed, shuffled deck, look into deck switches and routines designed for stack work. If you want to keep the same deck, focus on methods that secretly arrange the cards into Mnemonica rather than false shuffles, which preserve an existing order.
