Ancient Techniques

Memory techniques, like memory palaces, have been in use since hunter-gatherer times to memorize vast amounts of information. New techniques were developed over the millennia and, in Western cultures, they were widely used throughout the ancient, medieval, and renaissance periods.

Together, the methods are known as the Art of Memory.

These powerful techniques allow people with average memories to do amazing feats, like memorizing the order of a shuffled deck of cards in less than 20 seconds and recalling tens of thousands of digits of pi.

And the best part is that anyone can learn them!
