The new deck order of the Phoenix Deck is slightly different to the Bicycle decks that you may know.

0:00:11.467,0:00:20.225
When you look at a deck of cards it starts with the two Jokers and the last two cards are the blank card and the Poker Bingo.

0:00:20.225,0:00:27.170
But despite of that you will see that it starts with the Ace of Spades to King. Then comes the Hearts.

0:00:27.170,0:00:37.565
And then - reverse - the King of Diamonds to the Ace and King of Clubs to the Ace.[br]This is already optimized for the Tamariz Stack.

0:00:37.665,0:00:47.872
What is the Tamariz Stack? It's invented by the great magician Juan Tamariz from Spain.

0:00:47.872,0:00:59.691
With his stack you can go from new deck order to Tamariz Stack with four faro shuffles, overhand shuffle and then a partial faro at the end.

0:00:59.691,0:01:08.836
I will show you how to do this with the Phoenix deck. Usually the Tamariz Stack would work the other way round:

0:01:08.836,0:01:17.117
Top card on the face would be the Ace of Clubs then Ace of Diamonds to King and then the other way round. It would be exactly reversed.

0:01:17.117,0:01:25.653
One by one reversed. I surprised Juan Tamariz that with this set up you can also get into the Tamariz Stack.

0:01:25.653,0:01:36.499
I will show you how. If you're already familiar with the Tamariz Stack and how to get into it you will see the first step will be exactly the same:

0:01:36.499,0:02:05.257
You have to do four out-faros.... I did the first faro.[br]What you'll notice about the set up of the Phoenix is the stay stack order.

0:02:05.257,0:02:16.289
A Stay Stack order means that no matter how many faros you do it will always stay in a certain stack. The first and the last cards are mates.

0:02:16.289,0:02:28.691
As you see Ace of Spades, Ace of Clubs. King of Diamonds, King of Hearts, etc... Mates, until the center where the red Aces meet in the middle.

0:02:30.963,0:02:45.270
Let's continue doing some more faros.[br]That was faro number 4.

0:02:45.383,0:02:55.118
If you are familiar with the Tamariz Stack you will notice that it's exactly what you need, only reversed.

0:02:55.118,0:03:04.863
You will continue going to Tamariz Stack by doing an overhand shuffle of 26 cards in your other hand.

0:03:16.303,0:03:25.344
With Tamariz's you will just bring this back to the top. With Phoenix, because everything is reversed, all you have to do is to place this on top.

0:03:25.344,0:03:31.373
And you are done! Now you're exactly where you would've been when you would have started with the original Tamariz Stack new deck order

0:03:31.373,0:03:45.535
having the Ace of Clubs at the bottom and the 9 of Clubs on the face. You have to do one final partial faro at the King of Diamonds.

0:03:45.535,0:04:09.153
When you look at the cards, cut at the 4 of Clubs - because this is the top card -

0:04:09.153,0:04:19.647
and you have a deck perfectly set up in Tamariz Stack. Take the Poker Bingo card and you will see

0:04:19.647,0:04:28.006
it starts with the 4 of Clubs, 2 of Hearts and will end with the Ace of Hearts and 9 of Diamonds.[br]That's the Tamariz Stack.
