Vanishing Inc.
Finally tackle the Memorized Deck work you’ve been avoiding!
Vanishing Inc.'s latest gem reveals how you can memorise any deck in under an hour—yes, you read that right!
No prior memorisation skills needed (thank goodness!).
The Memory Arts is Vanishing Inc.'s most stunning book yet. Full-colour pages with illustrations galore, this beauty lays out the straightforward, secret formula that’ll boost your memory—not just for magic tricks but for life in general. This approach, rooted in the classics of mnemonics, was crafted by the dynamic duo, Sarah and David Trustman. If you’ve convinced yourself you’ve got a terrible memory, prepare to be proven wrong!
They had the crowd in stitches at Magi-Fest 2018 when they demonstrated how to EASILY remember half of a memorised deck (Tamariz Stack) in just FIFTEEN MINUTES.
And guess what? They can do the same for you. The cherry on top? Once you’ve devoured this book and embraced their method, you'll be recalling all sorts of things. Not just the Aronson or Tamariz Stack, but everyday bits like phone numbers, shopping lists, and your children's names (Andi's using this system and now remembers his son's name at least half the time—success!).
This book is a showstopper worthy of any coffee table, packed with original art that helps you associate each card or item with a striking image. And it specifically dives into how to memorise both the Aronson and Tamariz stacks, so if you’re feeling up for it, switching between them is a cinch. The Memory Arts guides you through with a breezy, fun, and witty style. The Trustmans have received a chorus of praise for their system, and now it’s all neatly compiled in one place. There’s a reason why eight-time World Memory Champion, Dominic O'Brien, jumped at the chance to pen the foreword for this book!
If you've previously nabbed their eBooks, you know how helpful they've been for memorising decks and other information. This is the ULTIMATE collection of their work.

"I have to say, I have conflicted feelings about telling people how great this book is-because there's a pretty big part of me that wants to keep this stuff secret, so people will be impressed and buy me drinks for memorising cards without a clue as to how easy it is. I want everyone and their kids to read this."
