HOW GOOD IS YOUR MEMORY?

Is it bad, ok, brilliant?

Whatever the answer did you know that the average adult is capable of amazing memory feats.

The memory techniques I will teach you in this weekend workshop are powerful. You will be amazed at how easy it is to apply and how much fun it can be as well. 

I first started learning these techniques when I was a teenager.

I was in the fifth year at school. I had done pretty well in my exams the previous years. I was in the fifth year now and started doing my higher grades. Before the fifth year, I studied hard at school and didn't really do much other than study and play snooker. Yes, I was that boring.

Then it came to the fifth year. I started coming out of my shell a bit more then. I would go out at the weekend with friends and had more of an interest in girls and enjoying myself than studying. 

I still wanted to do well in my exams though but didn't want to put in the same amount of time as previous years on studying. I became interested in learning memory techniques when I saw a game show on TV, Monkhouse's Memory Master.

The idea of the show was that the contestants were given some memory training by a memory expert in advance of the show then they were tested on the show.

Some examples of what they had to do were memorise a list of British towns and their European twin town, memorise the number plates corresponding to cars etc.

I was fascinated by this.

How was this possible. How could they take ordinary members of the public and teach them to do seemingly extraordinary feats of memory?

I was intrigued.

Also at this time, I remember seeing adverts in the newspaper about some memory course that claimed that you could attain a super human memory by using the techniques in the course.

They claimed you could memorise a speech without notes, memorise names and faces of hundreds of people you have just met, and memorise the order of a shuffled pack of playing cards after seeing them only once.

I was interested in this, but a bit sceptical.

After seeing the game show, though, I thought maybe it was possible. Could I really learn this stuff?

I started doing some research, bought some books and started working this stuff out. The first book I got was from a guy called Harry Loraine called Super Power Memory. 

I started reading that and I was hooked. It was an easy read and within a few pages, I could understand how the whole memory thing worked.

I started off memorising shortlists of ten to twenty random items in order. I was amazed when I got them all right.

After a few days, I managed to memorise 100 random items by number. This fascinated me.

I then learned to memorise a pack of cards in order. When I was going through the system I wasn't sure if I would get the order right, but I was amazed when I did. I got the odd one wrong, but I was amazed.

These techniques were great. I used them to learn information for my exams and I did pretty well with less effort than I had to.

I continued studying these memory techniques. They helped me through university, helped me memorise stand-up comedy routines, speeches etc.

I now have a routine in my stand-up comedy shows I sometimes use where I get a list of random words from the audience from 20 to over 100. I memorise these words, get the audience to shout out numbers and I improvise a routine from them. 
I started sharing these techniques with people over the years and eventually started running workshops over the past few years. I currently have an online course that has over 2000 students enrolled. 

During this weekend you will learn the techniques that world memory champions use to do amazing things like memorise multiple packs of playing cards in order without making a mistake, memorise names more easily, memorise large amounts of data for any new subject you want to learn.

The list of what you are capable of learning easier from these techniques are endless.

There will also be a number of practical exercises where you can work on putting these techniques to use to enhance your life.
