  • THAT IS SOOOO COOOLLLL!!! INCREDIBLE...its still in my head....i can remember it...maybe thats why its easy to remember a song with good lyrics....

  • Easy when you know how to do it ;-).

    Josh Foer wrote a book on it called "Moonwalking with Einstein" -- great book. You should read it if you're into memory or want to know how the best train.

  • Wow, that's great!

  • @Flickchaser This is true about Kim Peek, but this is about training yourself (the average joe) to do mental memorization which would be impossible without mnemonics. Kim Peek was missing a part of this brain which allowed him to use a different mental process to remember everything.

  • No disrespect to this post or the champion above,but if you go to Kim Peek here on YT,this mega savant( who sadly has passed away) Kim has no known equal in the arena of memory and may never have.He memorized entire phone books for cities,every zip code,every map he had ever seen,he memorized the bible as a child. He was the real Rain Man.Scaning a book,his left eye read the left page while the right eye the right.

  • damn, that works so well..

  • his hiss at the end of every word with an s is really annoying

  • He's reading it.

  • the host's cramming like kids lol

  • the hair?
