How to Remember Every Card in the Deck

Put it all together and you'll probably be able to memorize a full deck of cards on your first try -- but not in under a minute. To get that fast, you just need to practice. Memorize a deck a day and you'll be cutting your times in half in no time. And keep in mind that the more you practice imagining the images for cards, the faster you'll be able to encode them. Think of it like becoming fluent in a foreign language -- you have to practice speaking the language before it becomes automatic. If you're anything like me, you will not memorize a deck of cards in under a minute on your first try.

It took a lot of practice for me to be able to memorize the 12 face cards in under a minute. That's because it takes a while to encode the PAO for each card, especially if you choose a PAO that doesn't mean anything to you. Don't dislike them, don't like them, basically have no feelings either way.

See a Problem?

I picture her wearing a diamond tennis bracelet and can see it flashing as she swings her racket. When I was growing up, my mom didn't like tennis but she loved Chrissie. Because of that, Chrissie means something to me; I can still see my mom perched at the edge of the sofa cheering her on at Wimbledon. Because that PAO has meaning for me, it's incredibly easy to remember. I don't even have to try.

The association is immediate. So, spend a little time creating PAOs that don't feel like memorization is required.

Memorizing at its worst is just trying to remember random numbers, names, facts, etc. At its best, memorization isn't memorization at all; when what you see or hear has meaning, it's easy to remember. You almost can't help it. I also had to take plenty of time getting good at memorizing smaller chunks of cards before moving on to larger chunks.

Not only did that help me practice, it also built my confidence. Like Nelson says, lack of confidence is a memory killer, and if you bite off too much too soon, your confidence will disappear -- and so will your skill. So take your time, get good at remembering 12 cards, then 18, then How do I know you can do it? Not in a minute, but I can do it.

That means you definitely can. And, without realizing it was happening, learning to memorize a deck of cards helped me develop techniques that make me a lot better at remembering the names and faces of people I meet -- as well as a bunch of other things. Just for fun, I memorized all my credit card and financial account numbers. King of Diamonds makes me think of Donald Trump, because he probably has a crap-ton of diamonds.
