I think you must be thinking of the Si Stebbins Secret in At The Card Table by Ortiz. This uses a sequence of shuffles to put a deck that is in factory order into a Stebbins stack. You will need to be very good at faro-ing.

Stacking Sty Stebbins

:) Giulio.I know its a bit artificial but why not buy some lettraset and on the backs of your stacked deck, print 1 to 52. Then in a quite corner you only have to check the backs and put them in order from the hidden' numbers.
