What is Stack Magic?

At age 12 I learned a magic trick.

It enthralled me and charmed me.

In sixth grade, Mrs. Andrews taught us how to write a paper using index cards. I mean, I was already a library nerd, and anything resembling a card catalogue had me all a-flutter.

I remember my mind being blown wide open throughout that assignment. 

"Wait, all I need to do is put one idea down on each card?

Then I'm going to sort them into piles that make paragraphs?

THEN I just order those stacks into a paper?? 

🤯 🤯 🤯

This paper WRITES ITSELF." 

My 6th grade paper was on index cards, and 30+ years later, I can still see those slips of paper in my hand and that snuffles is the name of the common cold in rabbits. 

I LOVED this technique.

Then I promptly forgot it.

All through middle school, high school, and into college, I had no Stack Magic. Heck knows I could have used it. 

When I rediscovered the power of index cards late in college, I grabbed hold of them and never let go. 

This method of using modular thinking with small pieces of paper is so crucial to my visual thinking practice that I added it to my book The Idea Shapers and named it The Stack. 

Out of the 24 visual thinking concepts in The Idea Shapers, The Stack is #1 in most commented on and instantly loved.
