Unlimited Memory: How to Use Advanced Learning Strategies to Learn Faster, Remember More and be More Productive (Mental Mastery, #1)

by Kevin Horsley

now know that to remember something well you need to bring it to life. So how do you bring cards to life? First, you must create a picture for each card. Each card must have its own identity, so that you can distinguish it from the others. You can associate each card with a person you know or you can make all the diamond cards celebrities, all the heart cards your family, spade cards people you work with, and the club cards your friends. That would be one way to organize it. The system I use is based on the number code from Chapter 11. In this method, however, the name of each card will begin with the first letter of the suit. Here’s an example: The name for the 3 of diamonds will begin with D for diamonds, followed by M for 3. Add a vowel (A) and you have DAM. So all diamond cards will start with a D, all hearts will start with H, etc. Then add the converted number to the end of the card, plus vowels and fillers to make a word. Here are all the images for all the suits: Diamonds A—Date (ace is one) 2—Dan 3—Dam 4—Door 5—Deal 6—Dish 7—Duck 8—Dove 9—Deep 10—Dice (10 will be zero, s sound)
