Memory Palace

Training for memory sport. The trick is the method of loci: turn each card, or each group of digits, into a vivid image and leave it at the next stop on a route you know by heart. To recall it, you walk the route again.

Speed cards: memorize a shuffled deck as fast as you can, then put it back in order.

How to train
  1. Give every card a fixed image. A common system is Person–Action–Object: each card has a person, a verb and a thing, so three cards make one scene.
  2. Pick a route through a place you know well and write its stops below. Each stop holds one group of cards.
  3. Start small: 13 cards, one per locus. Aim for perfect runs first, then speed.
