Do you want to try memorizing a deck of 52 playing cards? This fun video walks you step by step through a memory technique to achieve that feat! Made for kids of all ages :)

It uses an ancient Greek memory technique from 2,500 years ago that you can use not only for playing cards, but also for other tasks at school, at work, or in life.

Human brains are better at memorizing images and routes, rather than number and letters. So most people can remember scenes from a movie or route to school, but not their friend's birthday or phone number. This is because our ancestors passed on the genes of image memory and spatial memory, which they needed to guide them in hunting and going back home without the help of a GPS or address.

Today, we will take advantage of this genetic strength to memorize a deck of cards.

Do try it at home and let us know how well you did! Take the #CardsChallenge! We're happy to answer any questions!

To see our complete list of cards-to-characters mapping, go to 2:23 min in the video
You can create your own mapping. In fact, the more familiar you are with the characters you choose, the better.

Study smart, play more! Half the effort, twice the result!
