Nathan Kranzo had a bunch of stuff of the deck. I know I got mine from him...

The Encyclopedia of Card Tricks has a nice section on it and I seem to recall Nathan Kranzo releasing a dvd of Mene-Tekel material.

I was literally just at his lecture in Toledo! I got his lecture notes and put one together with roughing fluid but there’s only one trick on Mene Tekel!

Big Blind Media produced some good resources for this.

There are countless variations. My favorite is to only cut the even cards and separate them by color. When you riffle the deck, it looks like all the colors have separated for an oil and water kicker. The Self-Contained Card Delivery System by Shawn Evans is full of great ideas.

Add another recommendation for Kranzo’s work.

Tommy Wonder’s beautiful piece - Elizabeth IV - has been in my arsenal for years.
