Temporarily Out of Order by Patrick Redford

Temporarily Out of Order delves into the art of memorized deck magic and stack manipulation. This work reintroduces The Redford Stack, showcasing its versatile features. Easily arranged from a shuffled deck or a new pack of cards, the Redford Stack can transform into various configurations, including the Parallel Stack, Stay Stack/Mirror Stack, Si-Stebbins Stack, and an alternating red-black stack. Remarkably, the same sequence that transitions into Si Stebbins can revert the deck back to the Redford Stack, creating an illusion of randomness packed with functionality.

Within this collection, you’ll discover poker deals, blackjack deals, spelling effects, coincidence effects, faro effects, and much more. Patrick shares some of his favorite false shuffles, deceptive cuts, and clever deck switches. Additionally, you’ll learn tricks that allow you to secretly set up a borrowed deck into a stack. Many effects can be performed without memorizing the Redford order, enabling immediate application. Furthermore, numerous effects are not reliant on a specific memorized stack order and can be executed with any memorized arrangement.
