Simply Simon book Simon Aronson. This must-have tool for mentalists just got WAY BETTER.

Simply Simon is the third hardcover book by Simon Aronson, but it’s the favored volume by most memorized deck practitioners. This book has several of the most complex but amazing memorized deck principles fully explained.

The trick “Everybody’s Lazy” is arguably the finest use of a memorized deck in print, and it’s here. So is “Past, Present, Future,” another card trick with an incredible plot line.

The book is densely packed with solid material, and the great thing about all the memorized deck effects in this book is that they are stack-independent. This means that you can use any known stack to perform the effects. You are not locked into Aronson stack here. But be aware, none of the intricacies of the memorized pack are explained here. It is assumed that you know the stack. You’ll either need to learn it from Bound to Please or read the free ebook we’re offering, Memories are Made of This. Who runs the Vanishing Inc.

(Simon) To download pdf file of the Year-at-a-Glance Chart – This is not a trick (by itself). It’s a prop for Aronson stack practitioners that can be used in several effects that I’ve previously published.

As my readers know, I’m enamored with the Birthday Book concept, popularized by Alex Elmsley, and I’ve come up with several variations. One change that I’m particularly proud of is my change from a small diary or date book to a one-page, year-at-a-glance calendar. This prop makes the trick more portable (you can always carry one, folded up in your wallet) and makes the chart more innocent and deceptive, because everything is out in the open, to be seen all at once without any apparent pattern being noticed.

I first published this idea as “The Calendar Card” in Simply Simon, and you can check there to learn the simple operation of this prop. Since then I’ve used it extensively, and have included two quite different presentations (with explanations) on Volume 2 of my DVDs (see, “The Calendar Card” and “Anytime Birthday Shopping”). The sidebar graphic displays a couple of uses to which I’ve put this chart.
