Description originale

The Particle System is Joshua Jay’s groundbreaking contribution to the world of memorized deck magic.

As the name implies, this is not just another stack, but rather a complete system that is more practical and 2x easier to memorize than any other memorized deck. Combined with a variety of powerful built-in features, The Particle System unlocks a whole new world of card magic potential. It doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced stack worker or have never attempted to memorize a deck in your life, any magician can benefit from reading The Particle System.

After decades of being a loyal student of the Aronson Stack, Josh wanted to design a memorized deck arrangement that solved many of the challenges other stacks face. Across the 270+ pages of this stunning hardcover book, Josh will share everything he’s learned from more than 10 years of developing and refining The Particle System in front of real audiences.

He not only teaches you the ins and outs of the system, but also a variety of powerhouse routines put everything into action. While many of these effects can technically be performed with any memorized deck arrangement, the real value comes from how the features of The Particle System can enhance them. More importantly, Josh shows you how to combine the individual routines into complete professional acts that allow you to baffle and entertain audiences with nothing more than just a deck of cards.

Reading The Particle System by Joshua Jay will not only reshape how you approach memorized deck magic, but your card magic as a whole. Just be warned that you’ll never want to leave home without a deck of cards in Particle Stack ever again.

A Closer Look at The Particle System

Careful consideration was also given to creating an arrangement that looks mixed but also has embedded safeguards that make it significantly easier to work with. You technically only need to memorize 26 cards because, once you know one card, you’ll also quickly know where its mate is located. If your mind completely blanks on where a card is located, there are even super simple formulas you can use to find it. It’s also quicker to get into Particle Stack than other stacks, particularly from new deck order.

The Particle Stack is a combination of unique segments that each offer their own distinct potential. This allows you to perform some of the strongest card magic tricks in the world without having to re-arrange the cards. You can also easily locate cards with near-perfect accuracy and, at any point, are just one cut away from a jaw-dropping finale that serves as the perfect end to any card set.

While the arrangement of the “Particle Stack” makes it naturally easier to memorize, Josh simplified the process even further by dedicating an entire section to teaching you how to memorize it. You even get access to a custom online training tool that helps you practice and learn the stack even quicker.

Additionally, since the success of memorized deck magic relies heavily on the audience being convinced that you’re using genuinely mixed deck, Josh has included a substantial section teaching his favorite false shuffles. These are all largely easy to do, extremely convincing, and can be applied to all of your card work.

Hours of Video + Private Group Included

Each book also comes with access to hours of professional quality footage. You’ll get to see Josh performing his favorite Particle System tricks for real audiences before sitting down to explain everything you need to know. Beyond the trick explanations, he’ll dive into many ways to get in and out of the stack, a variety of mind-blowing kickers you can take advantage of, and even clever ways to switch a stacked deck into play.

Since The Particle System is a living idea that is continually evolving, you’re also going to get access to a private Facebook group in which Josh will regularly share all his best new ideas and advice.

A Gorgeous Hardcover

This 274-page hardback beauty features a cloth linen cover, thick glossy pages, tons of crystal-clear photos, and a convenient ribbon bookmark. The Particle System will undoubtedly be a standout addition to your magic library.

[Isidore BUC]

L'intérêt d'un stack réside dans les routines additionnelles que l'ordre spécifique permet d'obtenir, puisque toutes les routines basées sur les principes d'Aronson ne sont pas stack dépendantes.

Un grand nombre de ces routines sont adaptables à un autre ordre excepté pour :

• le retour sur jeu neuf
• le stay-stack ou Rosary
• certaines propriétés mathématiques

Ceux qui pensent que l'intérêt d'un stack réside dans sa facilité d'apprentissage  n'utilisent généralement qu'une partie de l'outil. Cette partie peut répondre à leur demande ou objectif, mais ne restera qu'une partie de ce qu'il est possible de faire avec l'outil.

De ce que @Frédéric NOWACKI m'a fait découvrir du Particle System : 

• Il bénéficie de l'intérêt du Si Stebbins pour le retour sur jeu classé (puisque construit sur la base d'un jeu classé auquel on fait subir deux faros) , mais en perdant grand nombre de ses propriétés mathématiques.
• Il bénéficie également d'un stay-stack de valeur, mais pas valeur +c ouleur.
• Les personnes n'ayant pas adhéré au Si Stebbins pour son côté cyclique ont peu de chance d'adhérer au Particle System qui est encore moins anodin dans son ordre.
• Son final en new deck order est très sympa ainsi que la routine qui le précède. Adaptable au Si Stebbins, Mnemonica, Isis, ou tous les autres stacks qui permettent un retour en NDO par antifaro 2.
• Il semble permettre pas mal de routines de sandwich.

N'ayant pas le livre, je ne peux en dire plus, peut être Frédéric le pourra.
