Stack Trainer is a memorized deck practice and recall trainer for magicians. It helps you build, practise, and retain memorized deck stacks, also known as memdecks, including Mnemonica, Aronson, Redford, Particle System, Memorandum by Woody Aragón, Nikola Card System, Joyal and custom-built stacks.

Stack Trainer is designed for recall training, stack fluency, and long-term retention. It is not a full magic course or a replacement for published stack-learning material. Instead, it gives you the tools to drill cards, positions, sequences, weak areas, and performance-style scenarios in a structured way.

If you are new to memorized deck work, you can start small by using filters to practise only a few cards at a time, then gradually expand as your recall improves. PAO (Person, Action, Object) memory links, hints, notes, photos, and focused repetition can help support your learning process as you build toward full-stack confidence.

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.

User Reviews

This is a great trainer for practicing; however, as a complete beginner, you can't learn the stack through comprehensive studying. The practice is meant for people who have already memorized the stack.

Absolutely love this app, it is just what I needed to learn Mnemonica and then practice it daily!!! Such a wonderfully made app. Strengthen your recall with fun gamification.

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.
