How to Memorize a Deck of Cards

The second step in preparing to memorize a deck of cards is to associate a memorable person or thing with each card. You should find that this type of memorization, because it's based on visual images of familiar places and things, will be much easier than the rote memorizing you might remember from your school days. Practice these associations until you can pull a card randomly from the deck and immediately recall the associated image. Once you're done, you're ready to hand the deck to a friend and amaze him by rattling off the cards in order without peeking.
