This is a cut segment from a larger documentary on the brain titled "BBC - Get Smart"; It reveals some of the techniques used by world champion Andi Bell.

Andi holds the current world record for speed cards of 31.16 seconds. You can see more of his results at http://web.aanet.com.au/memorysports/competitor.php?id=11 .

Andi Bell isn't an autistic savant, meerly someone who has trained their brain to be able to memorize and codify information in the brain using advanced mnemonic techniques.

If you're interested in this kind of thing, let me know. I'll be happy to give you more information. You can email me at tranceriver@gmail.com , and I will happily respond. I love emails :). I will 100% respond.

Hopefully you will enjoy this video as much as I did.

[Update:I've Uploaded the second half at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NROegsMqNc , thus making this 1/2 .]

Enjoy!

  • And Kim Peek would scramble all of these guys brains. There is NO competion, not even close to being close.

  • Subsequently, he associates these numbers from each deck with a picture and then to link them up to what i call as a story or the route method. Given the fact that the brain is highly efficient at recollecting pictures rather than words or numbers in accordance to Haber's experiment, it is without doubt that the card could be easily recalled and described.
