Built for Serious Practice

Realistic Simulation

Each session starts with a genuinely shuffled and cut Mnemonica deck. Scroll through the spread, tap to upjog, strip when ready — just like the real handling.

Training Aids

"Looking For" shows your current target card. Stack number overlays appear on every card. Toggle both on or off — turn them off as you get faster and work toward performance speed.

Timed Sessions

A built-in timer runs from start to reveal. Correct/incorrect scoring on every session lets you measure your improvement over time.

About the Effect

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 are familiar with 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.
