Foreword (excerpt)

Psychologists and educators have said that we use only a small percentage of our brain power"”I think the system here will enable you to use just a little more than average. So, if like your operations, you have been bragging about your poor memory; I think that after you've read this book, you'll still brag about your memory, but to the other extreme. Now, you'll be able to boast of possessing a wonderfully retentive and accurate memory!

Use The Systems (excerpt)

..Many of the ideas that were taught to you, were taught as memory feats. I've done this for a variety of reasons. First, I believe that it makes it much easier to learn, because you can actually see your goal. I've seen too many people start to try to learn something, and then give it up midway because they couldn't see the use or benefit of it right in front of their eyes.

Seeing the goal gives you an added incentive to learn. The fact that you can use the feats to entertain your friends, is an extra added incentive.

When you can do or understand the stunts, you've grasped the idea, and that's all I care about. Once you've got the idea, you will be able to apply it when you need it. This is where you must put your imagination to work. Any memory problem that may present itself, can be solved by using one or more of the methods and systems; whether they were taught to you in the form of a memory demonstration or otherwise.

My purpose in writing this book has been to give you the basis and groundwork of a trained memory. The systems are more far reaching and more applicable than the space allowed me could possibly show. I do hope, however, that I have given you an inkling of what can be done with my systems. The rest is up to you!

Allow me to provide you with a small sample of why How to Develop a Super Power Memory is a perfect companion for The Multiple Mentality Course. Part way through the lessons, Harry Kahne asks us to recall 50 three letter words by heart; this is a daunting task without explanation - unless we turn to a peg method of memory from Harry Lorayne's manual which allows us to recall words with ease in any order.

For example, here are the first 10 numbers each represented by a word. Please notice that each phonetic consonant pronunciation represents a number whereas the vowels only give the words meaning ("h," "w," and "y" serves us as a vowels here):

1. tie
2. (Noah)
3. maw
4. rye
5. law
6. (shoe)
7. cow
8. ivy
9. pie or bee
10. toe(s)

In "Noah's" case, we can link it to "Ark" if we want a 3-letter word. "Shoe" can be linked to "hoe" as a derivative. We use phonetic "s," "z," and similar consonants to represent the number "0." To prevent confusion, we relegate "tie" and "toe" to separate pegs.

To build further pegs, we simply match words to each number. Therefore, 11 is represented by "tit" or "tot." 12 is represented by "tin," 13 by "time" or "tame," and so on. (Link "time" to "day" or "tame" to "cat" if you want 3-letter words.)

Please take my word for it: Remembering the "pegs" is easy. Remembering the rules for creating the pegs - not so much, but it's like tying a shoelace or riding a bike the first time. Please see the excerpt from Harry's Book, The Peg System of Memory for a sample.
