Barrie Richardson and Lewis Jones have published algorithmic systems that cover only half the pack.Algorithmic - Using a formula of some kind to relate card values and positions.Rule based - Enabling the learning of remembering the necessary relationships.Mnemonic - Using well-known mnemonic alphabet (T/D=1, N=2, M=3, etc.) called the Peg system to devise images for each of the 52 positions in the stack.Rote memory - Decide on the stacked arrangement and memorize it.There are four basic approaches to learning a memorized deck: Memorized deck permits one to know the position and name of every card in the deck.Examples include the Si Stebbins and Eight Kings stacks as well as Richard Osterlind Breakthrough Card System. The pack may be given any number of single complete cuts without destroying the sequence. Such stacks are circular, sometimes termed rosary stacks. Sequential stack permits one to determine the card following any given card.
A Stack is prearranged deck or part of the deck of cards.
