The Big Idea
Dominic O'Brien is the eight-time World Memory Champion. This requires incredible feats of memory skills, such as memorizing up to 28 decks of shuffled playing cards. His book is a description of several of the established memory techniques along with advice about how to use them in everyday situations. Many of the memory techniques that O'Brien describes are similar or identical to those offered by other “memory experts.” Although this book is not written in a scholarly style and lacks adequate footnotes, there appears to be valuable information.
