Memory Smart CoverThe author of Memory Smart, Jim shares several powerful memory techniques. This class is based on longer programs offered to GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) students. Some of the memory feats these trained students have accomplished include:

  • Meeting 10 people at a virtual party and greeting those people a year later by name
  • Memorizing 50 states and their capitals in under 2 hours
  • Listing the 43 presidents of the United States in order after less than an hour of study
  • Learning 10 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and being able to cite the amendment and give an example after less than 2 hours of study
  • Demonstrating super comprehension by listing chapters in a textbook along with major points and examples

These are only a few examples of what you can do with a trained memory. Secrets of a Super Memory is a high-energy class filled with interaction, games, and laughter.
