Features & Capabilities

Train Mnemonica and other memorized deck recalls with fast daily drills, Awards, Personal Bests, Apple Watch practice, and a one-time Pro unlock.

Stack Trainer helps magicians learn, practice, and retain memorized deck stacks — also known as memdecks — including Mnemonica, Aronson, Redford, Particle System, Memorandum by Woody Aragón, Nikola Card System, and custom-built stacks.

Learning a stack is hard. Keeping it sharp is harder. Stack Trainer uses retrieval practice, spaced repetition, adaptive card prioritization, visual reinforcement, Awards, streaks, Personal Bests, and performance tracking to turn fragile recall into practical fluency.

Train daily with focused practice sections designed around how magicians actually build stack skill:

  • Recall: Position — train card-to-position and position-to-card recall
  • Recall: Sequence — train next and previous card recall

Stack Fluency Strengthen speed, accuracy, and whole-stack confidence.

  • Matchup — timed card-to-position memory game
  • 4 of a Kind — match ranks to their stack positions
  • Stack Segments — learn where cards generally live in the stack

User Reviews

Stack Trainer is a comprehensive memdeck training tool. The free version has all you need to learn Mnemonica (my preferred stack) and with the pro version, you can learn Aaronson, Aragon, Redford, Particle System, and more! Many practice tools that are game-like and fun. I’m recommending it to my card magic students.
