I think I based it on something I read in a Derren Brown book. Of course, the first fifty two images can be used for cards, it's just a question of also having an image for each card. Which I don't have at present.
Yeah, Harry Lorayne gives an amazing demonstration utilising the mnemonic system in front of a live audience. He also teaches the crowd how to apply part of the technique to everyday objects which are called out randomly. It's very impressive.
Bill Malone performs a great effect in his "Malone Meets Marlo" series called Marlo on The Memorized Deck 1 & 2, which uses the Aronson stack. It's a great piece if magic that blows the crowd away.
