Great - Speed Memory will enable you to remember lists of objects not only in order, but also in reverse and random order; to remember names and faces, as well as facts associated with them; to remember speeches, scripts, articles, jokes and narratives; to remember dates, prices, numbers (including telephone numbers!) and anniversaries; and to remember far more readily languages and information relevant to examinations. You will also be able to perform 'memory feats' with * number games and cards.

The course was compiled over a number of years, taking
Into consideration the latest educational and psychological
theories as well as a wide range of material concerned with
memory systems.
As a result Speed Memory will give you as wide an introduction
to the art of memory training as do the much-publicised
memory training courses advertised in the national press. The
course will enable you also to see how the 'Super-Brain'
memory experts perform their amazing feats, while at the same
time enabling you to perform with the same competence! In
other words, anyone who approaches this book seriously can
himself become, in the popular sense of the term, a mental
wizard!
It is a number of years since the widespread publicity surrounding
Pelmanism made the art of memory training wellknown.
But it has taken all this time for the various systems to
be completely developed, and for new and exciting systems to
be introduced.
Speed Memory brings the reader to this exciting point in
time.
The book is programmed to make the learning of the various
systems especially easy. The first section introduces the history
of memory and the development of ideas and practices surrounding
it, thus providing a context for subsequent learning.
The next few chapters introduce simple Link and Peg systems,

enabling you to exercise your growing capacities on progressively
more difficult material and advanced concepts. Among
these systems is an entirely new and original system, Skipnum,
recently developed by my close friend, Heinz Norden, the wellknown
polymath.
After these basic systems have been introduced an important
chapter is devoted to the memorisation of names and faces, as
well as facts relating to them.
This is followed by the introduction of the Major System, a
highly developed mnemonic system that serves not only as an
almost infinite Peg system (1,000 Peg words are included in
this chapter!), but also a system that may be applied to the
memorisation of numbers in their various forms.
The remainder of the book is devoted in part to these
numerical memorisations (dates, prices, telephone numbers,
anniversaries and birthdays, etc.) and in part to the more
general application of memory systems to remembering
speeches, scripts, jokes, articles, narratives, languages, appointments
and schedules.
In conclusion, special examination techniques are discussed
and general advice is given.
