World Record in Speed Cards - Simon Reinhard with 21.90 seconds

Apparently the ancient techniques can't help the maker of this video spell "everyone" though.

@juggliac Apparantly you can be happy that I speak English at all. Ich könnte dich auch in Deutsch volltexten, aber das kannst du vermutlich noch viel weniger, du kleine Göre. ;)

[juggliac]

@Flauwy01 I'm sorry, I didn't mean insult by it, I was just joking. Sorry if I offended.

[Flauwy01]

@juggliac You are forgiven, young Padawan. Keep up the good work, we share a lot of hobbies.

@Flauwy01

Thank you for the info.

Any idea where I can get more detailed description?

Thank you

[octium]

So, whats the technique that he is using?

[Flauwy01]

@octium Two Cards for one image. That makes 51x52 images. Ben Pridmore is using the same system.

[superduperabner]

what is the song?

[Flauwy01]

@superduperabner A little less conversation by Elvis Presley

[treeky3]

he didn't shuffle first!

[smutyhouse]

i am familiar with the Mnemonics and methods they use but I don't get how they create the images or events that quickly? Props for this btw

[1stPlaceDirector]

@smutyhouse I doubt that the guys that set the record are wanting to tell people their best secrets. It's like the poker pros...they want to teach others to play, but not enough to beat them. They all have websites and so-called 'systems', but they don't teach everything. In the case of 52 card deck memorizing, anyone who spends 5 minutes on Google searching this stuff, can find out the basics, but knowing exactly how its done in 21.9 seconds is a well kept secret.

[Flauwy01]

@1stPlaceDirector Totally not true. Ben has given away his technique long time ago and many athletes adopted it very successfully. It is a 52x52 double image system.

[CLK50000]

@Flauwy01 I'm not saying he did. I am saying some people do, and you never know if they are being honest. Just as in playing professional poker, the players don't always tell the truth about how they play. The goal is to win and throw people off.

[Flauwy01]

@CLK50000 Well we are all more like a family in memory sports. But it is true, some techniques are still little known, but not in Speed Cards. There are no secrets to learn there. Get yourself a system with 2.652 images for every combination of two cards (52x51), train it like crazy, train it a lot more, go to several competitions, realize that you are still too slow and train even harder. That's the way to breach the 30s. Not that I would be capable to do it, but that's pretty much the theory.

[Pumasbali]

Look ben pridmore at the end he was very angry....

[Flauwy01]

@Pumasbali No he wasn't. He was surprised, probably stunned. But he is very kind when he gets competition.

[stojkotic]

2:00 guy in the back :)

[Carlisle412]

That's the sime timer you use with rubik's cubes!

[Mr1mag1nary]

Umm ... I can do it in 15 ... minutes. Damn.

[Ajmasterb12]

That is crazy! How do they do that?

[weemanling]

Damn thats the worlds most predictable game of snap.

[ipnosistrategica]

awesome!



[TheBradTobin]

Wow with this kind of speed this would be very practical for magic, only you wouldnt be pretending, youd be doing the real deal.

[kimrainman]

how?

[andrius1605]
