The Bart Harding Secret by Misdirects

If you enjoy magic that involves memorized decks or algorithmic stacks, consider exploring The Bart Harding Secret. This manuscript presents a technique for transforming a deck from New Deck Order (NDO) to the Bart Harding Stack (BHS). While Darwin Ortiz’s Si Stebbins Secret offers a versatile stack, it often appears less random, which can be a drawback in performances where spectators see card faces. In contrast, the BHS sequence appears completely random, making it ideal for such effects. With practice, you can easily switch between NDO and BHS using the methods outlined in this manuscript.

The Bart Harding Stack is an algorithmic card stack with unique characteristics that simplify various effects.
