Just out of interest what are your memorized deck routines that you do on a regular basis, what are your favorite openers and closers, I was thinking of opening with Juan Tamariz's Crown Jewels and closing with Steve Ehlers' three card location.

I love ACAN

Yeah, check out the Penguin demo of Mnemonica! Just for grins. The worst performance of Tamariz effects I've ever seen. He does ACAN to demo memdeck, and it's stooged!

You don't need memdeck if you're going to do a stooged ACAN...

Anyway, I haven't worked it up yet, but you can't ask for a better closer than shuffling back into new deck order (if you're using the Tamariz stack).

Any card to wallet, and Mnemonicosis, (Tamariz). I just love Control in Chaos (Riobóo/Tamariz's variant on Aronson's Shuffle-Bored), but have yet to properly test it in real world conditions.

Hi,
I don't use the Mem' deck. But I find that the Joshua Jay's opener using such a deck is very direct, to the point, clean, and whatever you can ask.

Just tell a card, and boom, it is the top card of the deck.

Simon Aronson's "Everybody's Lazy" and "Four-Part Harmony," a few originals, and a presentation using the "Shuffle-Bored" principle.

I like "The Last Laugh" by Darwin Ortiz.

I wouldn't use either of these as openers--but they're both great effects:
Tamariz/Four of a Kind
Aronson/Histed Heisted
