Stack Trainer forms part of a comprehensive suite of apps that dedicate to technical learning tools for close-up magicians. Stack Trainer addresses those who are familiar with the concepts related to Aronson, Tamariz, Nikolas. If you know what these names relate to, and you apply the according techniques, then this app will help you stay tuned and inspired.

A radical slim design.

Cycle through the logical phases of the challenges at hand. Name it the "virtual spectator" concept.

Approaches:
- Next Card: Name the next card
- Get Position: Name the position of a given card
- Get Card: Name the card at a given position
- Four of a Kind: Name the distance to the next of the same kind
- Next Suit: Name the distance to the next of the same suit
- Wrong Card: Identify the one card that is displaced in the face-up spread stack
- Missing Card: Find the missing card in the face-up spread stack
- Spot: Spot a specific card in the face-up spread stack
- Highest Card: Identify the high and low cards of a random sub-stack.

Some Features:
- Aronson, Tamariz and user defined stacks
- Lorraynes peg words for the 52 cards and 52 positions, plus 3 user defined sets
- display and whisper modes
- includes the quick-touch interactive analyser visualising the solution path and allowing for self imposed problem statements with decadic and tridecadic layouts
- feedback driven development
- feels almost like a true deck of cards. Practicing card magic you dont want no complicated, overloaded and distracting user interface. Less is more.
- probably the most complete, and straightforward solution available.

A card, the one downwards (or upwards), maybe its mates, maybe the next one of the same suit. Either on random walk, or deliberate choices on the complete map. Touch. Swipe, swipe. Swipe and again.
