Hey Ron White here, the memory guy.
You know this is the mask that I bought in Malaysia and people always ask me why did
you buy that mask?
And I bought that mask, so I could say hey this is the mask I bought in Malaysia.
Anyway another thing people always ask me is how did you memorize that magazine on the
Martha Stewart's show?
She gave me the magazine before I go on the show and I memorized every page of the magazine.
Then when I go on the show, I hand over the magazine, she opens it up to a random page,
she says what is on page 113 and I said that is the page that it has all the flowers all
over it and I was right.
Now the next question is how did I do that?
The answer I am a super brain genius.
Actually I'm not.
I used a method noticed the Roman room and what he do is as you memorize the map of your
house first and your numbered 25, 30, 40, 50 spots in your house.
So for example, I walked around my home here in Downtown for work.
Still dirty, you make some dirty dishes or dirty clothes.
I you spill anything that's possible too.
It's uncleaned in a while.
So the key to this Roman room is as you memorize a map of your house.
Well this is my house.
So as I walk in the front door, the first thing that I see right here is my welcome
bag.
So the number one spot in my house that I have numbered is my welcome bag.
That is number one.
My number two spot is this World War II poster, this World War II Navy poster GEE I Wish I
were A Man I join the Navy, be a man and do it United States Navy that's number two.
My number three is this camel right here.
My number four is this table and my number five is the picture of these horses right
here.
So let's review.
Number one, two, three, four, five.
One more time, one, two, three, four, five.
Ok.
So moving from the hall where the next room of my house is the kitchen.
So in the kitchen I have also numbered five pieces of furniture.
My refrigerator is the first location that I have numbered.
So right here number 6, my beverages over here is number 7, my George Foreman's grill
is number eight, my books are number 9 and my sink which hardly enough, you get the rare
glimpse of this when it is dirty.
It is normally always spotless clean.
I don't know how this happened.
So it's got six, seven, eight, nine, and ten.
The room of the ones back there one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten.
Ok.
So you get the idea now.
So now we've got one through ten right there.
Now we've got eleven, twelve, my window outside over there thirteen, fourteen and fifteen.
Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen after I have the spots in my house numbered
then I just walk through the house many many times over and over my head until I've got
them down just like that, that I could tell you that number five is the picture of the
horses, number six is my refrigerator, number ten is my sink.
I have about forty in that house and then I just mapped out my best friend's house,
my mom's house my cousin's house, my parents house and all these houses are mapped out
in my mind.
How many houses have I mapped out in my mind?
I have mapped about 40 houses in my mind, 25 pieces of furniture in each house.
So I have numbered a 1000 pieces of furniture.
Sounds like a lot of work and it is, but the [inaudible 0:04:18.5].
Now you are ready to memorize Martha Stewart's magazine.
You get her magazine and every single page you are going to get is different, has its
own piece.
What is this?
I have never seen such a thing.
I don't know how this got into my hose, but I am sure glad we found it now, so I can get
rid of it.
You take Martha Stewart's magazine and every single page gets its own piece of furniture
in your house.
So for example, you open it up to page 1 and it is Martha's calendar.
So what was the first piece of furniture in my house that we numbered.
It was the welcome bag.
So what we have imagined on the welcome bag, we imagine a calendar and we are going to
write on the calendar on each of the squares of the welcome bag.
Next page that I memorized was the letter to the editor.
What was the number two piece of furniture in my house?
That was the sailor.
So what we imagine now.
The sailor is interacting with a letter.
What is the next page that you have memorized?
It was the table of contents.
So what do you think I visualized on that camel, a table, a camel sitting on top of
the table.
I did that with about a 150 pieces of furniture.
Obviously I didn't just used my house, I used my friends’ houses too and then when I am
on the one among the Martha Stewart's show, she says what's on page 113.
I mentally jumped to the 113th piece of furniture in my mind and I see flowers covering this
piece of furniture.
Well.
Martha Stewart then turns it to page 113 and there you had.
That is how I freaked out Martha Stewart.
Memorizing a magazine is nothing more difficult than memorizing pieces of furniture in your
house, getting those down just like that taking the magazine and then taking the keyword about
each page, turn into a picture and visualize like on furniture in your house simple, but
very impressive.
