Hello students, welcome to Greek studies. Greek is the most rigorous subject that can be studied in any University. I appreciate your courage to attempt this study. We have a major test each day because there is so much to learn. We have hundreds of Greek vocabulary words to learn each day. Sure enough, in a day only four students were left out of a whole regular size class because of the rigorous scholarship that would be required each night. Front door, (41); main front door, (46); closest corner of driveway, (51); Preis corner of driveway, (56); small gate, (61); other side of small gate,(66).

Here I am and it is 10:00 P.M. and there is Joe again and he is still studying his Greek. Oh, I can see in his room and he is just now closing his Greek book. He has been at it for five hours. Wow, that would drive me crazy. Hi, I really enjoyed your performance. I really liked your last illusion; I have never seen anyone do anything like that before. So I assume you are a real genius with fantastic mental abilities. It's hard to remember words that don't make sense and it's better to come up with something that is easier to visualize. The authors give endless examples for that and I became jealous how easy it is for them. There is nothing that they can't simplify and I hope that it's just a matter of training or having the right mindset because it's the base of their system. Focus on what you want to remember--if you want to remember. The best example is learning someone's name. Forget it right away? You're not being aware enough. When meeting new people, rhetorically repeat, "What is their name? What is their name?" Have that be your main nagging thought.I wonder why Professor Johnson wants to see me. He said he wanted me to come alone. I have never had a professor ask me to meet with them like this in such a clandestine manner. I wonder what he wants. Finally, I just gave up telling them the truth once and let them think what they wanted to. Remember the first law of real magic: People would rather believe a lie told to them a thousand times than the truth told to them once!

Come on in Mr. Young be seated. I have been a teacher for twenty-five years and no one has ever gotten a 100% on my "essay" final exam. New to me was the so-called memory graph, a system with coordinates that you could use to remember locations or anatomy easier. Very interesting was also the remark that your helper images will disappear after a while and just the fact will pop up in your mind. This allows you to re-use the pictures without getting confused, e.g. having 100s associations with rose might make it difficult what exactly was meant.Let me try reading our textbook. Now I close it. I remember every word in what I just read every single word. This is amazing and I am not using the secrets in the memory book. I am remembering everything. This must be what it feels like to be a real genius! Wow, this is really weird, a good weird, but nevertheless weird as it can be. Me, Mr. dumb scarecrow with no brain and now a real genius from reading a book; hard for me to believe, dare I say: Real Magic! A judge saw chalk (as the murder weapon), a chef on a ship (as the prime suspect) with a case (as the motive). (66-70) This is a basic primer to the easier techniques in mnemonics, and will allow you to learn a great deal about how to memorize large quantities of information, pretty much about any topic, with a little bit of creativity. The techniques they cover are the Link, Substitute Word, Major, and Peg systems, as well as some other useful applications like names/faces, playing cards, locations, etc.
