Bicycle Memoria (Feinaiglian Grid) Playing Cards

Bicycle Memoria (Feinaiglian Grid) Playing Cards

Designed by the co-creators of the “The Memory Arts” series, Sarah Trustman and David Trustman, The Bicycle Memoria Deck pays homage to the grand history of the Mnemonic Arts (Memory Arts), a tradition that has served the magic community for centuries.

The back design features geometric memory devices from master mnemonists, Gregor von Feinaigle and Giordano Bruno, playfully highlighted by characters found in the Memory Arts System. While classic and simple enough for all uses, and certainly a historical throwback collectors’ item, the Bicycle Memoria Deck is much more than it appears at first glance.

The North Star Design almost imperceptibly makes the Memoria Deck one-way. The smaller Feinaiglian grids and Lullian Wheels in all four corners allow users to apply a subtle marking system with a plethora of variations and uses, dependent upon needs and preferences. (The cards are not marked – you can use the grids to either mark values and suits, or card locations if you are using a stack system.)

The classic court cards feature an updated color palette, further complementing the cohesiveness of the deck. Custom Jokers (one color, one black & white) are represented by a playful acrobatic memory elephant, also featured in the Memoria Deck’s unique Ace of Spades. Includes a double-backed card and a card explaining the hidden memory devices.
