This book is for every memorized deck worker. This book not only discusses the ins and out of the Tetra-Red memorized deck / stack but also offers other useful stack-independent content most any memorized deck worker would appreciate.
There is a Sleights for Memorized Deck Work section which has over a dozen sleights in it which can be used for any memorized deck. Some of these include: the Gerry Griffon False Cut — a.k.a. Blind Swivel Cut — as well as a glimpse of the bottom card for it. There is also a wonderful sleight which is a legitimate estimated cut followed by a glimpse, all in a three packet five beat cut: this is called the Three Packet Glimpse Cut. Also included is Andru’s Elevator Cut for covertly transferring 1 or more cards from the bottom of the deck to the top. I also have a utility in there for swapping two cards positions called Swapping Cards Via Dialing. There a few other sleights in this section as well to take a look at.
Under the Poker chapter there are stack independent poker cleanup sleights such as Heinlein’s Hold’em Cleanup — Tim Heinlein’s method for cleaning up the Hold’em community cards. Also included is Patrick Redford’s delightful Hold’em technique for cleaning up the player hands. Also include is my Poker Rewind for Two — a two player variation of Simon Aronson’s Once and Again Display.
Also there is a Stack Independent Routines section which has my Webcam Ultramental routine in it — which includes the Twinklethumbs Turnover sleight. I created this routine only a year after I got into card magic and only a couple months after I got into memdeck work.
There is also a section on Tetradistic Routines, which will work with any tetradistic stack not just Tetra-Red — e.g. Si Stebbins, 8 Kings, QuickStack 3.0. This includes a wonderful variation of Harry Lorayne’s Fourtitude called Fourgathering. Also a tetradistic dual stay stack principle is mentioned along with a routine utilizing it.
Additionally most of the four of a kind and full house poker deals described in this book — whether dials or with faros — can be applied to any tetradistic memorized deck / stack such as Red Stebbins, The Hacker Stack, Si Stebbins, QuickStack 3.0, 8 Kings, etc..
For fun I added a section for Si Stebbins Based Routines which includes the Lucky Sevens Poker Stack poker demonstration.
At the tail end of the book there is a Miscellaneous Transformations section where I share some transformation ideas I came up with for various memorized decks which are unrelated to Tetra-Red. For example I have some Hold’em deals for the Aronson stack in that section.
I hope everyone finds at least a few useful things in this book.
