Over the years, US Memory Champion Ron White has provided hundreds of hours of advice on memory techniques through his presentations, articles, interviews, and of course, through his legendary memory training program.
For convenience, I've gathered together here a bunch of my favorite tips from the master of memory. Some of them are especially helpful for mastering memory-intensive games, while others (like how to remember names!) are incredibly useful for daily life...
Ron White's Best Memory Tips & Techniques
How to Remember Names & Faces — I've memorized as many as two hundred and thirty-two names in about an hour and a half. It was at a convention in Lake Tahoe.
