Day for Date practice files
If you are practicing a 'day for a date' system you should take a look at these (https://x42.com/mp3/doy/) audio files which allow you to practice your system. You hear first a date, then a pause, and then the weekday. And if you use your random shuffle on your iPod you can walk around and practice at the same time. It will not tell you how to do it but it is a great practicing tool. (If you prefer a practicing software then check out ForeDate.)

Werner Miller developed a neat little software to help magicians analyse certain card tricks, modify them and potentially even invent new card tricks. This software simulates shuffling procedures as well as cutting a deck, reverse counting, elimination, etc. You will need to be familiar with "Faro Shuffle", "Reverse Faro", "Monge Shuffle" a.s.o. to meaningfully use this software. The software comes free of charge and with no warranties, guarantees or support. It was tested on Windows XP but should run on other Windows varieties. No installation necessary. Just unzip and run the executable. We have an English Version and a German Version available. Try it out. Very useful if you are into creating your own card effects.
