- ^ Introduction - Impressive Memory Stunts\
-
- The systems you have learned during the Memory Master course will enable you
- to perform 'feats' of memory that most people would find totally impossible.
-
- Some of the best stunts involve knowing Peg Words 1 to 100 thoroughly, so if
- you would like to try some of these stunts and have not yet learned all one
- hundred Peg Words, go back to Tutorial 13 and work through it all. If you
- are confident with the rules of the Phonetic Alphabet, the Peg Words really
- are very simple to learn.
-
- As you gain more and more practice at applying the Memory Master systems,
- you will probably find that you can invent your own memory stunts. The
- beauty of the systems is that they are ^flexible\, and can be applied to
- ^anything\ you wish to remember.
-
- If you have a particular hobby or interest, you may find that applying the
- systems to facts and data about your hobby will help you become an 'expert'
- at that topic, because you can rapidly increase your knowledge. In fact,
- this is the area where the systems probably work best. You are already
- interested in the information, or you presumably wouldn't have chosen that
- hobby.#
-
- This means that your >Initial Awareness\ of the information will already be
- high - you concentrate on the information because you are really interested
- in it. Applying the systems will enable you to improve your knowledge of the
- subject, |rapidly\ and |effectively\.
-
- The same applies to your work. If your job in any way involves facts,
- figures, names, dates, etc., you will find that applying the systems to some
- of that data will quickly gain you a reputation as a source of knowledge
- among your colleagues. This can do your promotion prospects no harm, and a
- lot of good !
-
- Tutorial 18 suggests some memory stunts that you can use to demonstrate your
- new-found mental 'powers'.
