Array is Fraser's take on the algorithmic stack, and let me tell you, this isn’t just some half-baked idea he tossed together last week. Fraser’s been tinkering with this puzzle for six or seven years, and he finally cracked it. His goal? Create a stack so easy to learn that you could pick it up while simultaneously attempting to juggle three flaming torches—okay, maybe not that easy, but you get the point. Just read through the rules once, and you’re set.
Fraser’s thrilled to share that all the pieces of the jigsaw finally clicked into place. What you get is a near-perfect arrangement for this type of method. With this system, you’ll be able to instantly know where a specific card is in the deck and vice versa, all without breaking a sweat over complex calculations or wearing out your mental calculator. Seriously, it’s so intuitive that the necessary math feels more like a series of mental shifts than actual math—like your brain just gets it.
You’ll need about an hour to fully grasp the system, and from then on, you'll have a trusty tool for life (as long as you don’t let it gather dust—give it a little refresher now and then).
Now, let’s talk aesthetics: the stack itself looks like a totally random, shuffled deck. No glaring repeats of values or suits here. In fact, the suits are mixed up in delightful little clusters of red and black throughout the deck, giving it that "I’m just a casual magician" vibe.
Fraser’s sharing this gem with the magic community so you can bask in its efficiency and economy, because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good shortcut?
