Dear friend,
Can you name some of the world’s best sleight-of-hand masters?
Jason England. Steve Forte. Darwin Ortiz. Bill Kalush.
All of the above are great magicians.
But what if you had to name the best magician in the world?
Most magicians would give you one answer…
Juan Tamariz.
Which leaves us asking…
Why is Juan Tamariz almost universally accepted as the world's best magician, even though he's NOT the world's best at sleight-of-hand?
Simple.
You can perform great magic without great sleight of hand.
That’s not to say Juan is bad at sleight of hand.
In fact, he’s very good.
But you can bet it isn’t sleight of hand that has propelled him to stardom and built his legacy.
Juan has a secret weapon—the memorized deck.
Many magicians assume this tool is out of their reach.
But that’s just because they haven’t been shown the right way to unlock it…
The Babylon Secret is a system we've used to memorize new stacks in 20 minutes or less.
Many otherwise incredible magicians simply can’t face the upfront work of memorizing an entire deck of cards.
How often have you heard yourself saying, “No, I still haven’t learned the memorized deck, I’ve been meaning to?”
We’ve all been there; there’s no shame in it.
However, seeing as the mem deck is literally the most powerful tool in card magic, it’s really not worth sleeping on.
In 2020, we released a course containing something we called ‘The Babylon Secret’. This method used the same principles studied by memory-athletes worldwide to give customers the ability to memorize any order of cards (also known as a stack), in a matter of minutes.
Here are some of the reviews people gave when we first taught this method:
“The best method out there to learn a mem deck. Period.” – Louis
“I had already independently memorized a popular stack before purchasing this resource. But, I wanted to see how efficient it would be to memorize a second stack, and I used [this] method to do it! This is an incredible resource!” – John Burns
“Reenergized the mem deck for me. Showed me how to apply a variety of techniques that help you not only memorize a single deck order, but multiple decks. Bravo!” – Jonathan Lebowitz
The biggest flaw with our original method was this:
Making the leap from sequential memory (i.e reciting the order of the cards in the same way you can recite the alphabet) to instant recall (i.e if I ask you for the 16th letter of the alphabet, can you tell me?) wasn’t as smooth as it could have been.
In this updated training, we modify our initial approach so that by the time you’ve memorized the deck sequentially, you can also ‘drop in’ to any position and name the card at that position.
We also don’t want you to overlook the other huge benefit of this method—that you can use it to memorize ANY stack.
This updated memorization training was released at the end of 2024 as part of the Skyscraper 2.0 course. Up until now, you would have had to buy the full course for £100+ to access this memory training. This is the first time we’re making it available for a fraction of the price.
To prove we really believe this is the best method possible for people new to the memorized deck, we actually recorded ourselves learning a new stack from the ground up in just 20 minutes…and then used that same stack to perform effects straight away.
Here’s what our clients have said about our method:
“I now realize how easy it can be if using this method to learn a stack. I always thought you need to study for weeks. Two cool guys just changing the way you see card tricks. And casually opening a new dimension to magic.” – Tamlin
“For me this was the missing link. I have tried a lot of ways to learn the Redford stack. From Memory Arts to Mnemonica Trainer. The skyscraper method just worked for me.”
“Now I have a powerful tool that doesn’t take up any extra pocket space that helps me perform real magic.” – Randy H.
“The Babylon Secret amazed me. IT’S WORTH YOUR WHILE.” – Satin Draven
“I’m learning that even seniors can use this method to make memorization easier” – G.E.
“I really enjoyed the thoughts about approaching the memorized deck and also the tips on how to work the mem deck into my current repertoire. I learned how to come up with ideas with the memorized deck and fit my existing routines with the memorized deck!” – Benjamin Wongyonze
“I was surprised how much I retained in such a short time. The memorized deck is such a powerful and INVISIBLE tool that is angle proof!!” – P.L.
“I love the ease of the method and all the stuff you guys put along with it. Thanks for this because I tried the Memory arts but didn’t really get too far. Now it’s so much easier. You guys are awesome!” – Filip S.
Over the course of this powerful and extremely detailed training video—exactly 84 minutes and 2 seconds in runtime—you’ll learn…
* How to memorize any stack you want in 20 minutes or less.
* How to make every effect you currently perform…instantly stronger!
* The 3 questions most memorized deck beginners ask that are not only WRONG but also downright dangerous (if you really want to ‘get’ this stuff)
* The ‘toothpaste’ advantage to working with a memorized deck (that allows you to improve your magic faster AND easier than regular card magic)
* How to ‘tap into’ the chemical wiring of your brain to ensure you never forget the stack (your brain is already ‘primed’ to do this, believe it or not!)
* The stack I personally recommend (and why this advice is stupid anyway)
* The ONE thing most people get wrong when trying to memorize a deck
* The ‘Babylon Secret’ (hands down the easiest and best way to memorize a deck)
* One of the hardest parts about memorizing any deck (but don’t worry…we already did this part for you!)
* Why Rafael Nadal’s ‘butt scratch’ and Derren Brown’s ‘furry raccoon’ are essential to our memorization method.
* A mind-bogglingly stupid comment I saw featured on a popular memory trainer product (I won’t name names, but you’ve undoubtedly heard of it)
* What this process looks like in action (watch as Jacob memorizes a deck LIVE on camera—something I’ve never seen other memory trainer products do…)
* The ‘happy birthday’ principle (a tip shared with me that changed the way I look at the memorized deck)
Another disclaimer:
Of course, just memorizing the deck is only the first part of this ‘starter pack’.
We’ll also show you…
4 of the most powerful effects in magic—unlocked once you have the deck memorized!
Effect #1: The ‘holy grail’ of card magic (‘Any Card At Any Number’)
One spectator names a card. Another chooses a number. In a deck that has been in full view the whole time, you count down to the chosen number to find, impossibly, the card named.
This effect has long been called the ‘Holy Grail’ of card magic, and it’s a plot that we’ve always been fascinated with. The memorized deck allows you to perform the cleanest A.C.A.A.N that we know of.
Effect #2: Thought Card From Pocket
You shuffle and then spread the cards for the spectator. They look at a single card without naming it out loud. You place the cards in your pocket and ask the spectator to count down from 10. Before they reach zero, you announce that you’ve found their card in your pocket.
Effect #3: Albania
This trick is usually performed with three or four people. In this description, we’ll imagine we’re performing for four people.
Effect #4: Chan Canasta’s ‘Pockets’
This is an effect we’ve always been fascinated with. It looks something like this…
The spectator cuts the deck anywhere they like and takes two cards. They place one card in each pocket.
Sound good? Let's recap...
When you purchase our memorized deck starter pack, you’re going to get…
* Our complete training on how to memorize the deck—including 1 and a half hours of video training.
* 4 incredibly powerful effects that are easy to learn once you know the stack!
