Transcripts
hi everyone rainy bastard share and
today I'm going to teach you my perfect
memory hack in this hack I'm going to
show you how to memorize in this one up
to 24 items in any order in just minutes
now this hat can be used to memorize an
awful lot more than 24 in fact I once
used it to help a high school student to
memorize 200 definitions on government
and by the time we finish it took me
about two hours to go through the entire
exercise for 200 items but by the time
we finished she was able to recall all
200 items in order forwards backwards
and even sporadically if I said what was
number 57 she'd tell me what was number
123 she'd be able to tell me so I mean
it's a really amazing technique so I'd
like you to try it with me right now
we're going to memorize just ten items
at random because we'll limit up a time
and I want to show you how it works how
easy it will work for even you and
you'll be able to know these afterwards
forwards and backwards now just so you
know if you want to remember a lot more
you want to memorize a lot more items
there are other techniques you can use
because we're going to be using the
alphabet which I'm going to use the
first ten letters so a2j but if you used
all 24 letters again you have 24 items
or there's other ways of getting these
standed points that's what I'm using the
alphabet for so you can get as many
items as you like now the reason I'm
using the alphabet it's like creating
file folders in your head so just like a
filing cabinet I'm going to show you how
to file different things so this is a
great mind tack now we use the alphabet
because you know that you can use
numbers because you know the numbers
they're things that are always there
that you'll remember without having to
think too hard you can use items in your
house choose five items from each room
in your house so if you have ten rooms
as fifty file folders of 50 reference
points you can use to memorize 50
different definitions so you can use
whatever you like before we go to file
with this exercise I'm going to give you
all ten items right now and I want you
to try to memorize them without using
this exercise at all
all because I want to have a point of
reference at the end so I'm going to
give you all ten definitions and then
I'm going to test you on them to see how
many you could remember without using
this exercise because you may get four
or five of them now and if you get 10 of
them later you'll see this a big
difference or if some people only get
two of them at the beginning and they
might remember eight at the end so I
just want to do this as a point of
reference so I'm going to tell them to
you then I'm going to have you write it
down the second time so here we go the
first one is teddy bear
number two is desk number three
microphone for water bottle five office
chair six is orange juice seven stapler
eight trashcan nine is computer and ten
is pencil now get you a piece of paper I
want you to write them down as I give
you the numbers I want to see how many
you remember in what order and I'll give
you the order of the answers at the end
so you can compare with both exercises
okay so what's your first one don't
worry if you don't get many right
because this is without doing the
exercise what was number one to write it
down number two
number three number four
number five getting a little tougher
number six don't worry if you don't
remember them well if you do that's
great number seven number eight number
nine and number ten so look at what you
did if you want you can put forty
percent twenty percent 100 percent and
but put that paper somewheres else for
this next exercise guess I'm doing the
exercise but I don't want you to look at
the answers so put it upside down be
honest so you don't see them and get a
different piece of paper for when I test
you after the exercise I don't want you
to look at this and so it doesn't tank
your answers and when you're all done
you can compare both just trying to
memorize it when I give them to you and
after the exercise to see how you did
okay let's move on so here's how it's
going to work
think of a through J we're going to
start with the letter A and what I want
you to do is I want you to think of an
animal that starts with the letter A I
mean I can tell you one but I want you
to try to think of it on your own if you
can't think of it I'll give you an idea
in a minute but think of it animal first
when it comes to mind with the letter A
okay if you haven't thought of one
alligator I should have said animal and
vivian-so
you know any kind of live moving
squiggly heartbeating thing okay the
letter B what's an animal that starts
with the letter B that should be a
simple one so I'm not going to just tell
you mine so that way if you do it on
your own rather than me telling you is
going to come to your memory a lot
easier later on now these are the things
we're memorizing these are just the file
folders we're setting up
think of a land animal that starts with
the letter C
the letter D now when you're doing these
with someone else you could even write
these down so you remember as you go
back through the list you might even
want to write them down for yourself the
letter e that's still a pretty easy one
an animal that starts with the letter e
an animal that starts with the letter F
think of an animal that starts with the
letter G it's still a pretty easy one
okay one that starts with the letter H
an animal or a squiggly thing that
starts with the letter AI and one that
starts with the letter J that might be a
little bit more difficult one but think
of it the letter J now if you don't get
them all right away you can listen to
this video and try it again later on but
I'm going to move on just so we can you
know keep up with the exercise what I
want to do is I want to go through them
don't look at your poke paper if you
wrote it down I want to go through them
and let us say the letter and you tell
me the animal okay what was the one you
chose for the letter A the letter B the
letter C they should be coming to you
quicker and quicker the letter d e f
gee what animal started with the letter
H I and J now if you've got all 10 of
those a second time you've set up your
file fold this okay you have that in
there and that's what you need to be
able to memorize other things now I'm
going to just use ten things but these
file folders you're using right now you
can memorize ten things today ten
different things tomorrow ten different
things is often as you like using the
same file folders okay so we're going to
do it just with these now I'm going to
come up with ten things at random and as
I say each thing that I want you to
memorize what I want you to do is I want
you to make a sentence or make a picture
of the animal for that letter and the
item I'm giving you okay so let me use
an example not on this list so I don't
mess you up let's choose the letter s as
an example so s I would think snake so
that's my file folder and let's say the
word I wanted to use was magic marker
okay so this is what we're going to do
magic marker so how do what I memorize
the word magic marker using the letter S
I could say something like a snake was
slithering on my desk he came right
beside my magic marker and he looked at
it he looked at it and said hey why are
you so stiff loosen up a bit okay so
it's a picture it's kind of stupid but
you're going to remember it laying
around when I say letter s you're going
to think snake why are you so stiff
magic marker you know or you might look
at it and say so you're a magical snake
aren't you magic marker you see what I
mean so find something with the item
that's kind of funny and that's what
we're going to do so that's pretty
simple let's go ahead and start out so
the letter A it's going to be teddy bear
so whatever the animal was I started
with an A think of something funny
something cartoonish something bigger
than life having to do with a teddy bear
what
the letter a relate to a teddy bear
whether what would he do or think of or
whatever so I'm going to give you a
moment a your animal make something
funny something cartoonish with a teddy
bear letter be think of your animal you
can just let go of a right now think of
your animal for letter B and the word
you want to remember and put in a
picture with them or a sentence with
them is desk a desk like the one I'm
sitting at right here great let us see
what was your animal for let us see
microphone put them with a microphone
what would that be like make it a funny
picture if it's something that's really
normal or ordinary it's going to be hard
to remember something that's funny or
outlandish will be easier to remember to
let a D what was you not your animal for
the letter D and the word is water
bottle okay just the simple plastic
water bottle that you drink from
the letter e what animal sided with the
letter e and make some kind of picture
cartoonish strange picture with the word
office chair office chair
the letter F what was the animal that
sided with F orange juice is the word
you need to make a picture of your
animal with orange juice
the letter G what was your animal for G
and the word is stapler stapler I just
like saying that word stapler so think
of something with that
the letter H what animal started with an
H and you need to put it in a sentence
with trashcan you can tell these are all
things around my office right trashcan I
said they were random
number nine or letter I what animal sad
with an eye computer you knew that was
coming
computer
and finally J pencil use the word pencil
with the animal that sided with the
letter J
great so now you filed all these
different random items with your ten
file folders in your mind let's see how
well it worked okay what I want to do is
I would like you to get a piece of paper
put it someplace and I want you to write
down as I give you the letters write
down the item that I told you not to
worry about the animal just write down
the item the random item that you
memorize and we're going to see how many
you got ready let's start with a what
was the thing that I told you to
memorize with a not the animal just the
item be think of your animal what was it
doing would you put them what's the item
for be see
d what was the animal outside of would D
and what was the item e
how about F and well outside of what
that from what was the item that you had
to memorize G
H what was the animal and item that
would H write down the item I the letter
I think of the animal and what was the
item and J think of the animal and write
down the item now I went fairly quick
going through these ten okay and I
understand that but I'm doing on the
video and without seeing you I don't
know how long you're taken to think some
of you are probably waiting for me to
finish some of you are like oh that's
not enough time so when you're doing
this on your own take the time you need
the more outlandish the picture the
better it's and a look so I'm going to
put the all the different items up and I
want you to write down how many you get
right okay so I'm going to put the item
up here on screen so a through J all the
different items you count how many you
got and I'd like you to write in the
comments at the bottom of this exercise
how many you got right it'd be
interesting to see and everybody else
would love to see you can try it again
on your own take your time you could
pause it and there's no reason why you
can't pause my video between each one
and try it on your own and see how you
do I hope you enjoyed the exercise I'd
like to thank you for watching and have
a spectacular day
