Welcome to the Memory Palace

"I saw Jerry Seinfeld sprawled out bleeding on the hood of a Lamborghini (five of hearts, ace of diamonds, jack of hearts)."

That's the image Joshua Foer, author of Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything, used to help him remember three random playing cards. Foer spoke to CNBC recently about the "memory palace" technique which fuses places and pictures into a mind-jogging stories. The whole article is here.

You can learn this and much more, when Joshua Foer visits Magers & Quinn. He'll be here at 7:30pm, Thursday, March 24. Don't forget.--David E
