What for system do you use to memory a deck of cards?
There are many ways to go about it, but simply put, you want each card to have an image. Very similar to number systems. Some even use their number systems for that, like the images for numbers 00-51, but you can go any way you like.
As far as I am aware, there are no huge systems like the major and dominic systems for cards. People have made a lot of versions, and certain methods are mentioned more often than others (like using the number system, which I mentioned), but nothing huge.
When you have your images, you just place them in your palace, peg list, story, or any other technique you use.
I use POO with my existing 00-99 number systems. Each suit is assigned a number: Clubs = 3, diamonds =4, spade = 5, and heart = 7. You can assign any number you wish. For number cards, the suit is combined with the number. Example: 5 of clubs = 53. 8 of diamonds = 87.
For face cards I assign a number of 6 to Jacks, 8 to Queens, and 9 to Kings. For face cards I have to reverse the way I read the numbers, so Jack of Spades = 56, or King of Clubs is 39.

I made a loom video on what I am experimenting with lately with cards. See it here.
