I was reluctant to buy this.
And I am reluctant to post this review.

I was reluctant to buy because I am quite familiar with many of the memory systems out there and reading between the lines I was prepared for a re-hash of existing methods.
I am reluctant to post because my experience may not reflect yours so with that caveat...

First: this *is* a rehash of old methods-- but a refreshing and updated one. It brings some old techniques and invites you to look at them with 21st Century eyes.

Second: If you are locked in your room unaware of the world around you-- this will be harder for you. If you love culture-- particularly popular culture-- if you're passionate about the things you love-- this will be a breeze. YMMV.

Third: This system is all about the "Pre-memory" work. Ignore them when they say there's no memorization needed. There is-- but much of it is put on on the way. And if you take the time to do the work up front-- it is really very easy to do the work when it comes time to memorizing your stack. They have provided a number of examples that are really useful and ready to use. I have adapted a couple and invented a couple of my own. This will make sense when you read it.

Fourth: Ignore the 60 min, 30 min talk. Sure I suppose it's possible but if you're doing the necessary work it'll take longer-- not days longer... but longer.

Fifth: There will remain-- after you memorize your deck order-- a great deal of time before you'll be able to use it for anything more than a demonstration of your ability to memorize a deck. To use it, say, in an effect that you're required to know what the 12 card after the 23 card is... The system they provide-- an revised memory palace-- works just as it should-- but there will still be work needed to know instantly the position number of every card...

Sixth: I have memorized my Tom Crosbie stack in less than 24 hours of purchasing this... only a couple hours of concentrated work and I haven't watched a single video yet. The PDF is more than necessary. I haven't read the effects yet but I can say, as an owner of the Dominic Obrien system, a couple Harry Lorayne books, and the Memory Arts pdf. I am very happy with my purchase.

This is a system that will serve magicians, mentalists, mnemologists well.

The PDF was okay to read but there was no video with it.

I only purchased this project because a friend of mine was vaguely involved (Heri with his ACAAN), and I wanted to support him, in a way.

And then, I looked at it, and had a great surprise : This just works!
I spent an evening to do the necessary prep work, and learn one sequence of informations. It could have been quicker, but I wanted to have solid foundations.
And then, it only took me 1 hour to learn the whole stack.
I still have it now, and I really believe there is no way I can forget it.

Bravo Benoit and Mathieu for this great method

This methode will blow your mind!!!!
in only 2 hours you will have any stackcards forever locked in mind

so easy and so powerfull !!!! Jump on the occasion

these are effective techniques and above all achievable.
thank you Benoit

The best way to learn a rosary in a very short time and never forget it again. I tried two others not as efficient ... mnemonica in less than a week and for life!

Excellent system, but don't believe the hype you won't be doing Mem deck stuff tonight (obviously there will be the odd exception). There's a lot of prework that needs to be done.
If you manage to fly through this, then you're laughing, for those of us that are less imaginative it might take a while to get your list up.
Once you have it, this system will totally work.
Thoroughly recommend

If you are as old as I am (unlikely), the references are rather meaningless. I understand I can create my own, but that really reduces the usefulness of the purchase.

Also, I'm no an of embedded video. It is much more useful to me as a standalone. I could probably figure out a way to capture the Vimeo files, but not really worth it.

I'm leaving the review as 5 Star as I don't want to screw up a rating for things that may well be specific to me.

Everything is in the title! Simply the best method to memorize a deck of cards!
