HOW TO MEMORIZE A SPEECH OR TEXT

Hello, hello! It's time for another random memory tips video.
This week's topic is something that I get asked about on the regular. It's one of the more involved types of things to memorize, so in this video I walk through an example of how I would memorize part of The Declaration of Independence.
Once you get the basic idea on how to do this, you can apply it to learning any speech, memorizing lines, poems, quotes, toasts, whatever your pretty little heart desires my friend!

    Hi Nelson. I find it hard to find one reference that gives good training for the overall memory competitions. I love your videos, it's clear cut straight to the point, simple, good basics. Are you working on any books or training series videos? There are no local training where I live and using youtube, i have to reference many different trainers on here. You seem to be the best in explaining the basics towards memory training geared towards competition.

    Thanks for all the tips. Love the memory tips videos. Would love a review of the peg system and some ideas for ways to just memorize the system itself. I need to memorize a series of playing cards in order, by number, forward and backward. I also need to know which card is at each position. So, if someone says 7D, I need to know that it is 3rd. I also need to know that the 51st card is AH, etc. Your videos are helping, but I certainly could use any pointers I can get. Thanks!!
