Would You Like A Memory Exercise That Will Give You Outstanding Mental Fitness In Just Minutes A Day ?
I'm talking about an exercise that gets you using one of the world's richest memory techniques. It involves nothing more than something called the Major Method (see below) and 52 small objects you can take with you anywhere you go.
If that's something that interests you, then here's a great question about the Magnetic Memory Method approach to memorizing a deck of cards. My answer follows.
Thank you for taking my email.
I reviewed your methods in your book on memorizing a deck of cards and am having a little trouble digesting the method or details.
I admit I've gone over your method rather quickly and probably have not given it a fair test – meaning I've skipped to the end before completing each step.
I was wondering if you had or could break your steps down further (if that makes sense) – so that I can actually practice each step slowly over time (or do I just need a coach?) I'd really love to learn this 'trick'.
I am really interested in your methods. I am a family physician and generally, as the joke goes, we are taught by someone who sprays information like a fire hose! So if I could use some of your 'tricks' that would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
9 Ways To Makes The Most Powerful Sounds On The Planet (Without Learning To Play Heavy Metal)
To memorize cards using the Magnetic Memory Method, we first need to learn the Major Method. It's simple and as I talk about in the episode you can listen to above, Mark Channon has some great ways to memorize the follow list (give the episode a list for some of them):
0 = soft c, s or z
1 = t or d
2 = n
3 = m
4 = r
5 = l
6 = ch, j, sh
7 = k
8 = f or v
9 = b or p
For an alternative explanation and tips on making these associations stick in your mind fast, watch at least the first video from my Get Good At Remembering Numbers playlist:
The Shocking Truth About Memorizing Playing Cards
Without having the Major Method learned and committed to memory, the rest of the Magnetic Memory card memorization method simply won't work.
You could try rote memorization or Juan Tamirez's singsong method, but that takes forever and a day. And as much as I love the ideas Woody Aragón puts forth in Memorandum, I think the Major System approach will be faster for most people (though you can certainly give other approaches a try).
After you've memorized the sound-number associations, focus on just one Suite. For example, start with the Spades.
You can review my book on the matter for further details, but by now you know that this particular approach to card memorization requires that you assign each suite with a value after having memorized the sound-number associations.
In this case, Spades are 10, Diamonds are 30, Clubs are 50 and Hearts are 80.
Since we don't actually count these numbers, each Suite begins one number up (Ace of Spades is 11, Ace of Diamonds is 31, Ace of Clubs is 51, Ace of Hearts is 81).

The answer is simple. We're going to use the sound-number association method to create memorable images.
Let's say that you're starting with the Spades.
You need an image for the Ace of Spades.
Ace of Spades is represented by 11, so that means
