Train for the Sherlock effect.
Realistic shuffles, timed sessions, and training aids you switch off as you get faster — practice for one of the great modern memdeck effects.
Each session starts with a genuinely shuffled and cut Mnemonica deck. Scroll the spread, tap to upjog, strip when ready — the real handling.
"Looking For" shows your current target card and stack numbers overlay every card. Toggle both off as you work toward performance speed.
A timer runs from start to reveal, with correct/incorrect scoring on every session so improvement is measurable.
SherlockTrainer is a practice tool for "Sherlock" — a brilliant memorized-deck location effect created by Pit Hartling and published in his book In Order To Amaze (2016).
The app assumes you already own the book and know the Mnemonica stack by Juan Tamariz. It is a training device — not a substitute for either.
If you don’t yet own In Order To Amaze — go buy it. It is one of the great modern magic books, and Sherlock is one of the great modern effects.
