Successful people, leaders of their field, leaders of industry have facts and figures and ideas right at their mental fingertips. Whereas remembering names is about who you know, this session is all about recalling what you know. Hi, this is Jim Kwik, founder of Kwik Learning and your memory coach for the Kwik Recall Master Class. Thank you so much for allowing me to be your memory coach. In this session I'm particularly excited about because it's all about how to memorize facts fast. Facts, data, information, ideas, how do you have it at your mental fingertips? That's what successful people do. To advance your career, to be a leader in your industry, it takes knowledge, right? How do you have that information, that knowledge at your mental fingertips? We're going to give you two or three powerful tools to put in your memory toolbox, so your memory's superpowers could completely unleash during the session. Get ready. Now, I'm going to give you a quick quiz. Do you know how many days are in the month of July? How about August, September, October, November? You're like, "Why would I need to know that?” Well, here is why, because the more connections you can make with your brain ... It's not about filling up your brain with information. That's useless. Actually, the more you could fill up, the more connections you can make. There is this old myth, a lie that's been told that your brain is like a tea cup. Once it's full, you can't put anything else in it. That's not true about your memory. The more you put in, the more you could hold. You could go to the gym and you could see someone bench pressing all this weight. You're just like, "Wow! That person could bench press all that weight because they're really strong." No, they're really strong because they bent press all that weight on a regular basis. Your memory is a lot the same way. With neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, you could grow older but you could grow better new connections. That's what this session is all about. Let's get to the tools. There is a lot of techniques. They call them mnemonic devices. We learn these things back in the school to be able to memorize facts. You could share these with your children, with your niece, and your nephew, and your grandchildren.

Jim:   Have  you  ever  had  information  or  some  fact  right  on  the  tip  of  your  tongue,  but  you  just  can't  get  it  out?  Successful  people,  leaders  of  their  field,  leaders  of  industry  have  facts  and  figures  and  ideas  right  at  their  mental  fingertips.  Whereas  remembering  names  is  about  who  you  know,  this  session  is  all  about  recalling  what  you  know.  

  Hi,  this  is  Jim  Kwik,  founder  of  Kwik  Learning  and  your  memory  coach  for  the  Kwik  Recall  Master  Class.  Thank  you  so  much  for  allowing  me  to  be  your  memory  coach.  In  this  session  I'm  particularly  excited  about  because  it's  all  about  how  to  memorize  facts  fast.  Facts,  data,  information,  ideas,  how  do  you  have  it  at  your  mental  fingertips?  That's  what  successful  people  do.    

  To  advance  your  career,  to  be  a  leader  in  your  industry,  it  takes  knowledge,  right?  How  do  you  have  that  information,  that  knowledge  at  your  mental  fingertips?  We're  going  to  give  you  two  or  three  powerful  tools  to  put  in  your  memory  toolbox,  so  your  memory's  superpowers  could  completely  unleash  during  the  session.    

  Get  ready.  Now,  I'm  going  to  give  you  a  quick  quiz.  Do  you  know  how  many  days  are  in  the  month  of  July?  How  about  August,  September,  October,  November?  You're  like,  "Why  would  I  need  to  know  that?”  Well,  here  is  why,  because  the  more  connections  you  can  make  with  your  brain  ...  It's  not  about  filling  up  your  brain  with  information.  That's  useless.  Actually,  the  more  you  could  fill  up,  the  more  connections  you  can  make.    

  There  is  this  old  myth,  a  lie  that's  been  told  that  your  brain  is  like  a  tea  cup.  Once  it's  full,  you  can't  put  anything  else  in  it.  That's  not  true  about  your  memory.  The  more  you  put  in,  the  more  you  could  hold.  You  could  go  to  the  gym  and  you  could  see  someone  bench  pressing  all  this  weight.  You're  just  like,  "Wow!  That  person  could  bench  press  all  that  weight  because  they're  really  strong."  No,  they're  really  strong  because  they  bent  press  all  that  weight  on  a  regular  basis.    

  Your  memory  is  a  lot  the  same  way.  With  neuroplasticity  and  neurogenesis,  you  could  grow  older  but  you  could  grow  better  new  connections.  That's  what  this  session  is  all  about.  Let's  get  to  the  tools.  There  is  a  lot  of  techniques.  They  call  them  mnemonic  devices.  We  learn  these  things  back  in  the  school  to  be  able  to  memorize  facts.  You  could  share  these  with  your  children,  with  your  niece,  and  your  nephew,  and  your  grandchildren.

  A  couple  of  quick  tips,  do  you  remember  back  in  school,  you  have  12  months  in  the  calendar  year.  One  of  the  tricks  was  to  ...  I  like  these  tricks  that  use  your  body  also,  this  mnemonic  devices,  because  it's  kinesthetic  learning.  If  you  shake  your  hand  like  this,  do  this  with  me.  Shake  your  hand,  and  just  make  a  fist.    

  You  notice,  you  have  here  four  knuckles.  You  have  these  little  grooves  in  between.  This  was  a  memory  tip  to  be  able  to  memorize  what  months  actually  had  31  days.  You  actually  go  this  way.  You  go,  "This  is  January."  Imagine  the  first  knuckle  is  January,  and  then  in  between  that  groove  or  that  valley  if  you  will,  you  have  a  peak  here,  this  valley,  here  is  February.  Then  you  go,  this  one  is  March.  This  is  your  knuckle  as  March,  and  so  on.    

  Then  when  you  get  to  the  end  here,  forget  about  your  thumb.  You  go  back  here  or  you  can  continue  here.  Then  this  knuckle  becomes  August.  It  goes  January,  February,  March,  April,  May,  June,  July,  and  then  the  next  knuckle  is  August.  Every  single  knuckle  is  actually  31  days.  Every  single  valley  or  groove  is  actually  30  days  with  the  exception  of  the  first  one,  because  we  know  February  has  28  days.    

  That  was  a  memory  aid.  When  I've  learned  that  back  in  school,  I  was  like,  "Wow!  That's  really  cool.  It's  kinesthetic  learning."  I  was  thinking,  "How  else  can  I  use  my  body  to  be  able  to  memorize  these  things  that  I  want  to  be  able  to  learn?"  I  learned  that  early  on  with  Math.  It's  interesting  to  work  with  your  kids  the  times  tables.  A  lot  of  people  feel  like  the  time  table  is  all  memorization.    

  In  future  session,  I'm  going  to  show  you  the  concept  of  numbers.  I'm  going  to  show  you  an  incredible  tool  on  how  to  be  able  to  memorize  numbers  whether  it's  a  two-­‐digit  number,  three-­‐digit,  four-­‐digit,  20-­‐digit,  50,  100  and  more,  to  be  able  to  memorize  pie  and  go  3.1415926  and  just  go  on  and  on  and  on.  I'm  going  to  share  with  you  those  secrets  in  the  upcoming  sessions.  This  is  where  we're  really  going  to  get  started.  

  I'm  very  excited  about  that.  Using  your  body  for  example  if  you  want  to  learn  multiplying  tables  and  memorize  them,  one  of  the  memory  aid  you  do  is  for  nine  tables,  you  put  all  10  fingers  up,  like  this.  If  you  wanted  to  know  what  anything  times  nine  is,  let's  say  it's  3X9.  You  would  go  one,  two,  three  and  then  put  your  third  finger  down.  That's  two,  seven,  27.    

  Then  you  would  go,  "What's  4x9?"  You  put  your  one,  two,  three,  fourth  finger  down.  That's  30,  one,  two,  three,  six  on  what's  on  the  left  and  what's  on  the  right.  If  you  want  to  know  what's  7x9  is,  one,  two,  three,  four,  five,  six,  seven,

you  put  your  seventh  digit  down.  You  have  six  on  this  side,  363.  I  was  like,  "Wow!  You  could  use  your  body  to  be  able  to  remember  the  things  that  you  want  to  remember.”    

  I'm  going  to  show  you  how  to  use  your  body  list  to  be  able  to  come  up  with  different  parts  of  your  body  to  be  able  to  store  information  that  you  want  to.  Let's  say  you  have  to  go  into  a  meeting,  or  you  need  to  prepare  for  a  test,  it's  like  having  cheat  notes,  because  the  notes  are  in  your  head  or  they're  on  your  body.    

  If  you're  going  into  a  meeting  or  a  sales  call  or  a  negotiation,  and  you  want  to  remember  certain  facts  or  a  client  information  or  a  product  information,  you  can  actually  store  those  facts,  because  that's  what  this  session  is  all  about,  right  on  your  body.  I'm  going  to  show  you  exactly  how  to  do  that.  We're  going  to  take  10  parts  on  your  body  together,  you  and  I,  10  parts  on  your  body.    

  What  I  want  you  to  do  is  I  want  you  to  see  it.  I  want  you  to  say  it,  and  I  want  you  to  do  it.  Those  are  your  three  learning  styles,  visual,  auditory,  and  kinesthetic.  We  all  learn  either  by  what  we  see,  or  by  what  we  hear,  and  what  we  touch  or  feel.  Let's  do  it  together.  I  want  to  do  it  rather  quickly.  We're  going  to  create  10  mental  folders  on  our  body,  so  you  can  store  information  that  you  want  to  see.    

  Here,  let's  start  with  this.  Do  this  with  me.  Number  one  is  top.  Go  like  this,  the  top  of  your  head.  Do  it  with  me.  One  is  what?  Say  it  out  loud  because  this  is  your  auditory  memory,  top.  Two  is  nose.  Good.  Three  is  your  mouth.  Good.  Four  are  your  ears.  Touch  your  ears.  Five  is  your  larynx.  This  is  your  voice  box  if  you  will,  your  larynx.  That's  one,  two,  three,  four,  five.  Let's  do  it  together.    

  One  is  what?  Top.  Two  is  nose.  Three  is  mouth.  Four  is  ears.  Remember  kinesthetic  touch.  Five  is  what?  Larynx.  Good.  Six,  I  want  you  to  go  down  to  your  shoulders.  What's  six?  Shoulders.  Seven  is  your  clavicle,  very  good.  That's  your  collarbone.  Eight  are  your  fingers.  Your  eight  are  your  fingers.  Nine  is  your  belly.  It's  your  belly.  Finally,  10  is  your  sit.  That's  your  bottom.  Ten  is  your  sit.    

  Let's  go  through  all  10  really  quickly.  These  are  facts  you  need  to  memorize.  One  is  what?  Your  top.  Two  is  nose.  Three  is  mouth.  Four  is  ears.  Five  is  larynx.  Good.  Six  is  shoulders.  Seven  is  clavicle.  Good.  Eight  are  your  fingers,  nine,  belly.  Finally  10  is  what?  Your  sit.  One  more  time,  let's  do  it  together.  If  you  don't  get  one  of  them,  that's  OK.  This  is  memory  training.    

  We're  building  your  imagination,  your  focus,  and  your  concentration.  One  is  what?  Your  top.  Two  is  your  nose.  Three  is?  Mouth.  Good.  Four?  Ears.  Five?

Larynx.  Six?  Shoulders.  Seven?  Clavicle,  good.  Eight?  Fingers.  Nine?  Belly.  Ten?  Your  sit.  Very  good,  congratulations!  You're  a  superhero  memory  expert.  Now,  you  have  10  places  on  your  body.    

  I'm  going  to  refer  this  to  you  as  your  body  list  if  you  will,  because  these  are  10  places  on  your  body.  The  good  thing  about  it  is  you  always  carry  your  body  with  you.  This  is  five  folders.  I'm  going  to  show  you  ...  Remember  easy  as  pie  if  you  went  through  our  previous  sessions,  PIE?  Your  memory  is  easy  as  pie.  P  is  place.  I  is  imagine.  E  is  entwined.  P  is  place.  I  is  what?  Imagine.  E  is  entwined.    

  You  have  your  places,  10  new  places  on  your  body,  that  you  could  imagine  the  facts  that  you  want  to  remember,  and  then  entwine  that  right  into  place,  so  here,  here,  here.  When  I  say,  "I  want  you  to  put  this  in  your  first  place,  this  in  your  second  place,  this  in  your  third  place,"  that's  what  you're  doing.  By  the  way,  if  you've  ever  seen  somebody  ...    

  We're  going  to  talk  about  how  to  give  speeches  and  presentations  without  notes.  We're  going  to  go  deep  in  that.  If  you  have  heard  someone  say,  “In  the  first,  place  that,  and  in  second,  place  that,”  that's  what  they  did.  About  over  2,000  years  ago,  a  memory  technique  was  created.  People  used  that  memory  tech  to  store  information.  This  is  before  the  printing  press,  before  computers,  and  iPads,  and  teleprompters,  memory  aids  that  help  people  to  communicate  and  remember  information.    

  This  is  what  they  did  to  be  able  to  memorize  it.  That  technique  disappeared,  but  we're  bringing  it  back.  We're  going  to  bring  the  art  of  memory.  You're  going  to  be  in  the  top  1%  of  the  people  that  you  know  in  terms  of  your  memory  power  just  knowing  this  technique.  Let's  do  it.  Ten  places  on  your  body,  now,  let's  say  you  need  to  remember  facts.  Let's  start  really  basic.    

  Let's  say  you  need  to  memorize  food.  Let's  say  that  somebody  calls  you  up  and  they  say,  "Can  you  please  go  pick  this  up?  We're  having  this  party  today,  and  I  forgot  to  go  to  the  grocery  store.  Can  you  please  stop  by  and  do  that?"  Usually,  when  people  call  you  up,  you  don't  have  something  to  write  on,  because  you’re  answering  the  phone  in  the  car  or  you’re  in  the  shower.    

  I  don't  know  why  you  would  answer  the  phone  in  the  shower,  but  people  give  you  information  and  you're  like,  "How  do  I  remember  this?"  You  put  it  on  your  body.  Let's  do  this  together  really  quickly.  After  we  do  this,  I'm  going  to  show  you  how  to  apply  this  towards  things  like  Science.  I'm  going  to  show  you  how  to  

Page 5: Recall Masterclass Week 4

Kwik Recall Masterclass Week 4 Page 5 of 27

©  2015  Kwik  Learning,  LLC        www.KwikLearning.com  

apply  this  towards  things  like  names  and  how  to  memorize  things  like  the  presidents,  and  think  of  more  difficult  information.    

  Let's  do  it  together.  Let's  say  the  first  thing  you  need  to  buy  at  the  party  is  something  like  chocolate  cake,  gluten-­‐free  organic  chocolate  cake.  Remember  that.  I  want  you  to  take  that.  Remember  PIE?  Place,  the  place  is  your  top.  I  want  you  to  imagine  chocolate  cake,  and  entwine  it  on  the  place.  Put  chocolate  cake  all  over  the  top  of  your  head.  Just  imagine  it  there.      

  Remember  the  [glue  00:09:47]  that  does  this.  We're  doing  this  because  the  four  aspects  of  your  training  is  not  only  the  technique.  This  is  the  technique  I'm  giving  you,  this  body  list.  It's  not  just  that.  It's  also  the  toughness.  Doing  this  exercise  even  if  you  don't  use  the  technique  is  going  to  build  your  memory  reserves.  It's  going  to  build  your  memory  powers.  It's  going  to  build  your  memory  strength  because  it  forces  you  to  focus,  to  observe,  to  concentrate,  to  build  your  creativity,  your  right  brain.    

  If  you're  in  a  brain  measuring  device,  you  would  see  different  parts  of  your  brain  light  up,  your  visualization,  your  imagination,  all  of  those  different  things.  This  is  the  exercise  that  builds  the  second  T,  which  is  toughness.  Remember  the  third  T  is  the  theory,  which  I  gave  you  a  little  bit  of  the  theory,  left  brain,  right  brain,  and  so  on  in  terms  of  why  it  works.    

  Finally  the  fourth  part  is  the  team.  It's  the  collaborative  effort  between  me  and  with  you,  me  as  your  memory  coach  and  everyone  in  this  community  by  posting  your  comments  down  below,  and  your  questions,  and  sharing  your  knowledge.  I  encourage  to  actually  share  your  tips  and  share  your  notes  down  below,  so  other  people  can  benefit.  Remember,  when  you  teach  something,  you  get  to  learn  it  twice.    

  Chocolate  cake  all  over  the  top  of  your  head,  and  remember  what  makes  it  stick,  the  vowels  A,  E,  I,  O,  U.  Make  it  action.  Add  action.  The  E  is,  make  it  exaggerate  a  really  big  chocolate  cake.  Add  some  emotion  in  there  also.  The  I  is  make  it  illogical.  You  would  never  balance  chocolate  cake  on  the  top  of  your  head,  but  make  it  illogical.  Make  it  outstanding.  Make  it  stand  out  if  you  will.  Finally  u  is  unusual.  Make  it  a  little  bit  weird.    

  Look  at  it.  Feel  it.  Smell  it,  very  sensory.  The  second  thing  you  need  to  get  is  let's  say  you  need  to  get  red  wine.  I  want  to  see  red  wine  on  your  second  place,  which  is  what?  Your  nose,  so  red  wine  coming  out  of  your  nose.  Just  perfect!  Here  is

the  thing.  You  don't  have  to  do  a  lot  of  rote  or  repetition.  You  just  see  it  once,  and  you  remember  it  for  a  long  time.    

  The  third  thing  you  need  to  see,  where's  your  third  place?  Good,  it's  your  mouth.  The  third  place  is  your  mouth.  You  need  to  get  asparagus,  because  that's  a  really  great  party.  Asparagus  all  over.  Imagine  your  teeth  is  replaced  by  asparagus  right  now,  good  asparagus.  See  that  there,  good.    

  Where  is  your  fourth  place,  remember?  It's  your  ears.  The  fourth  thing  you  need  to  get  are  potato  chips.  I  want  you  to  see  potato  chips  coming  out  of  your  ears.  Look  at  your  ears.  Imagine  your  ears,  and  they're  made  of  potato  chips,  very  good.  After  that,  the  fifth  thing  that  you  need  to  buy  ...  Just  look  at  your  fifth  place,  which  is  your  what?  Your  larynx,  which  is  your  voice  box,  just  point  to  your  throat.  

  I  want  you  to  be  able  to  get  what?  A  green  juice,  what's  green  juice?  I  don't  know.  Green  juice  right  into  your  throat.  Maybe  you  have  necklace  here  made  of  broccoli  or  celery  or  cucumber  juice,  a  necklace  made  up  with  all  these  different  kind  of  juices.  You're  like,  "Wow!  This  is  an  interesting  party,  a  very,  very  interesting  party."    

  After  that,  your  sixth  place  is  what?  Your  shoulders,  good.  I  want  you  to  remember  pineapples.  Pineapples  are  where?  Balancing  on  your  shoulders,  a  big  pineapple  is  balancing  on  your  shoulders.  The  seventh  thing  that  you  need  to  remember  that  your  friend  says,  "Go  pick  this  up,"  is  ...  Remember  seven  is  your  what?  Your  clavicle.  I  want  you  to  remember  cheese.  I  want  you  to  just  imagine  cheese  all  over  your  clavicle,  all  the  different  kinds  of  cheese.    

  What  kind  of  cheese  are  you  thinking?  Great,  and  smell  it.  Taste  it.  Cheese  all  over  your  clavicle,  very  good.  After  that,  your  eighth  place  is  what?  Your  fingers.  Remember  your  fingers.  I  want  you  to  imagine  that  you  need  to  remember  mashed  potatoes,  mashed  potatoes  for  the  party.  Imagine  you're  dunking  your  fingers  in  mashed  potatoes.  There's  gravy  and  you  could  feel  it  and  taste  it,  mashed  potatoes.    

  Finally,  number  nine  and  10,  what's  number  nine?  It's  your  belly.  Your  ninth  place  is  your  belly.  I  want  you  to  remember  ...  What's  the  ninth  place?  Just  think  of  something  that  you  need  to  be  able  to  get.  LJ,  what's  the  ninth  thing  you  need  to  buy?  Anything,  salsa,  the  ninth  thing  is  salsa,  salsa  all  over  your  belly.

  Maybe  it's  mild,  or  it's  medium,  or  it's  spicy.  It's  really  hot.  Salsa  all  over  your  belly,  that's  number  nine.  Finally,  10  is  your  what?  It's  your  sit  here.  10,  I  want  you  to  remember  you  need  to  buy  some  milk.  I  don't  even  want  to  know  what's  your  picture  for  number  10.  Number  10  is  on  your  sit.  Just  imagine  it  right  there.    

  Now,  you're  at  the  grocery  store.  These  are  10  facts  that  you  just  memorized  in  lighting  speed.  Your  memory  is  that  fast  in  a  heartbeat.  You're  in  the  grocery  store,  and  you  need  to  remember.  You  don't  have  your  list.  Most  people,  even  if  they  make  their  list  and  they  make  it  out  and  triplicate,  they  forget  their  list  back  at  home.    

  You  don't  need  that  list  because  you're  a  memory  superhero.  You're  in  the  grocery  store.  You're  going  down  the  aisles.  You're  just  walking  through  your  body.  What's  the  very  first  thing  you  need  to  buy?  Go  to  your  top  of  your  head  is  what?  Chocolate  cake,  very  good.  What's  the  second  thing  that  you  need  to  buy?  What's  this?  Red  wine  coming  out  of  your  what?  Your  nose.    

  What's  the  third  thing  you  need  to  buy?  Asparagus  on  your  teeth,  good.  What's  the  fourth  thing,  which  is  your  what?  Your  ears.  What's  coming  out  of  your  ears?  Potato  chips.  What's  the  fifth  thing?  Your  larynx,  what's  here?  What  do  you  have  a  necklace  of?  Do  you  remember  what  that  is?  Good.  What's  the  sixth  thing?  Good,  shoulders.  What's  balancing  on  your  shoulders?  Do  you  see  that?  Do  you  feel  it?  Pineapples,  good.    

  What's  the  seventh  thing  on  your  collar?  What's  here?  It's  not  the  necklace.  That  was  something  else.  What's  here?  Good,  the  cheese.  Then  the  eight  thing  is  what?  What's  on  your  fingers?  Mashed  potatoes.  The  ninth  thing  is  what?  It's  right  there  on  your  belly.  Do  you  see  what's  on  your  belly?  Very  good,  the  salsa.  Finally  the  tenth  thing  that  you  need  buy  at  the  store  is  what?  Milk.  Tenth  is  your  sit,  milk  all  over  your  sit.    

  Now  that  you  have  this  body  list,  that's  yours.  You  could  always  use  it  over  and  over  again.  I  want  you  to  practice  this,  because  we're  going  to  use  this  in  future  sessions.  When  I  go  through  how  to  memorize  numbers,  when  I  go  through  techniques  to  be  able  to  memorize  facts  and  figures,  I  want  you  to  be  able  to  use  this  because  it's  like  another  peg  list.    

  In  the  previous  session,  we  went  through  things  like  your  sun  list.  We  went  through  sun.  We  went  through  socks.  We  went  through  what  else?  We  went  through  your  traffic  light.  We  went  through  your  car.  We  went  through  your

glove.  Remember  that  list.  We're  going  to  use  that.  In  fact,  we're  going  to  use  it  now.  We're  going  to  go  through  it  now  that  you  have  the  body  list.    

  Let's  repeat  the  sun  list.  Do  you  remember  the  sun  list?  That's  go  through  it  together.  I'm  going  to  show  you  how  to  use  it  and  how  to  be  able  to  store  facts  right  now.  Number  one  is  what?  Sun.  You  might  have  come  up  with  ...  I  know  we'd  answered  this  in  the  coaching  call.  You  can  absolutely  create  your  own  list.  Let's  go  through  the  list  that  we  created  together.  Then  you  could  adjust  it  according  to  yours.    

  Number  one  is  what?  Sun.  Number  two?  Socks,  some  people  use  shoes.  Number  three  is  what?  Traffic  light.  Number  four?  Remember  three  is  traffic  lights  because  of  the  three  colors  on  a  traffic  light.  Which  colors  are  they?  A  lot  of  people  forget  this,  red,  yellow,  and  green  in  that  specific  order.  That's  traffic  light.    

  Number  four  was  what?  Car.  What  was  number  five?  Glove,  because  of  five  fingers,  good.  After  that  is  what?  Six  is  soda,  like  a  six-­‐pack.  Number  seven  is  what?  What's  seven?  Rainbow,  seven  colors  of  the  rainbow.  What  are  they?  ROYGBIV,  red,  orange,  yellow,  green,  blue,  indigo,  violet,  ROYGBIV.  Number  eight  is  what?  Magic  ball  eight,  the  magic  eighth  ball.    

  Number  nine  is  what?  By  the  way,  you  could  use  an  octopus  or  anything  that  reminds  you  of  eight.  Number  nine  is  what?  Cat,  because  of  nine  lives.  Ten  is  what?  Ten  toes,  you  have  10  toes.  You  could  also  use  what?  You  could  use  10  bowling  pins,  whatever  you  use  personally.  Let's  stop  there.    

  Now,  let's  apply.  That's  another  peg  list  that  we  use,  another  filing  system.  Let's  say  that  you  want  to  be  able  to  memorize  something  like  names.  These  are  the  facts  that  you  want  to  memorize.  Let's  say  that  you  want  to  be  able  to  specifically  memorize  the  presidents  of  the  United  States.  You  want  to  go  through  them  all  in  order,  and  so  all  the  way  from  George  Washington  to  President  Obama.  

  Let's  do  the  first  10  or  20  together.  All  you  need  to  do  to  memorize  that  is  you  need  ...  Remember,  we  talked  about  the  peg  method.  That  was  one  of  the  things  that  we  talked  about  in  previous  sessions.  Now  that  you  have  this  body  list,  you  also  have  the  peg  method,  and  so  we  took  the  sun  list.  We  attached  information  that  you  want  to  learn  on  it.    

Page 9: Recall Masterclass Week 4

  Last  time,  I  believe  we  went  through  the  Bill  of  Rights,  and  how  to  memorize  the  Bill  of  Rights,  like  a  speech  without  notes  on  your  sun  list.  Now,  what  I  want  to  do  is  I  want  to  apply  every  single  president  on  there.  Now,  this  is  a  really  good  exercise  for  using  last  names.  If  you  haven't  gone  through  the  session  that's  coming  up  yet  on  remembering  names,  I'm  going  to  show  you  how  to  memorize  first  and  last  names.    

  This  is  going  to  be  focused  on  last  names.  We're  going  to  deal  with  presidential  last  names.  Who  is  the  first  president  of  the  United  States?  It's  Washington.  People  say,  "I  know  the  first  ..."  Yes,  you  could  do  it  for  that  one,  but  let's  try  to  do  20,  30,  or  40  or  more  presidents.  Then  it  gets  very  difficult.  It's  very  difficult  to  do  a  rote  memory  when  it's  dealing  with  more  than  one  or  two  or  three  or  four,  five.    

  Washington  is  the  first  one.  What  I  want  you  to  do  is  turn  it  into  a  picture.  You  take  Washington.  You  turn  it  into  a  picture.  Remember  the  easiest  PIE  method.  You  put  it  onto  place.  What's  the  place?  It's  your  what?  It's  your  sun.  Look  at  the  sun  in  your  mind.  I  want  you  to  put  Washington.  What  reminds  you  of  Washington?  What's  an  image?    

  If  we  are  playing  Pictionary  together  and  the  ultimate  tip  turn  into  a  picture,  once  it  turn  it  into  a  picture,  what  can  I  draw  that  would  remind  you  of  Washington?  Maybe  the  Washington  monument.  Imagine  the  Washington  monument  on  the  sun.  Put  it  on  the  sun  using  action  and  exaggeration  and  emotion.  Make  it  illogical  and  such.  Good.  What  else  [inaudible  00:19:42]  for  Washington?  Maybe  a  washing  machine  if  you  will.  

  Imagine  washing  machine.  You're  washing  the  sun  in  the  machine,  Washington.  Washing  a  ton  of  suns  inside,  whatever  you  choose.  Some  people  would  choose  a  dollar-­‐bill  because  George  Washington  is  on  the  $1-­‐bill.  Imagine  lots  of  dollar  bills  on  the  sun.  Whatever  you  come  up  with,  remember  there  is  no  such  thing  as  a  right  and  wrong,  because  what  works  for  me  or  what  works  with  your  fellow  superheroes  might  not  work  for  you.  

  Find  out  what  works  best  for  you,  because  it's  not  right  or  wrong.  It's  just  good,  better,  and  best.  Whatever  you  come  up  with  is  better  than  anything  we  could  come  up  with.  Just  imagine  that.  Here  is  the  thing.  We  covered  this  on  the  call.  You  can't  just  say  it.  You  need  to  see  it.  Let  me  say  that  again.  You  can't  just  say  it.  Don't  say,  "Oh  yeah,  I'll  remember  that."  Just  by  saying  it,  you  won't  remember  it.    

Page 10: Recall Masterclass Week 4

Kwik Recall Masterclass Week 4 Page 10 of 27 ©  2015  Kwik  Learning,  LLC        www.KwikLearning.com  

  You  have  to  be  able  to  see  it.  If  you  can't  see  it,  you  won't  remember  it.  If  you  can't  see  it  and  feel  it  ...  That's  what  I  do.  I  ask  myself  two  questions  each  time.  When  I  want  to  memorize  something,  I'd  say,  "What  do  I  see,  and  how  does  it  make  me  feel?  If  you  want  to  get  inside  my  mind,  I'm  looking  at  something.  I  want  to  learn  something  brand  new.  I  was  like,  "What  do  I  see,  and  how  does  it  make  me  feel?"    

  In  order  to  learn  something,  the  all  learning  is  and  all  memory  is  is  taking  something  on  the  outside,  and  connecting  it  to  something  on  the  inside.  It's  connecting  something  that's  unknown.  When  you're  learning  something  brand  new,  it's  unknown.  You  don't  know  what  it  is.  It's  on  the  outside  of  you,  and  you're  linking  it  to  something  you  know.    

  You're  just  taking  an  unknown,  and  connecting  it  to  something  that's  known,  and  then  you  have  a  memory.  That's  what  a  memory  is.  It's  a  new  association  that  wasn't  there  before.  Let's  say  you  have  the  sun  list  in  your  mind.  If  you  want  to  learn  this  new  information  called  Washington,  put  the  Washington  or  washing  machine,  Washington  monument,  a  dollar-­‐bill  on  the  sun.    

  You're  hanging  it  on  that  peg.  Number  two,  the  second  place  is  what  on  your  list?  Was  it  shoes?  It  was  shoes  or  socks,  depending  on  what  you  used.  It  could  have  been  anything  else  that  you're  using.  Let's  say  it's  socks.  Second  president  was  who?  Adams.  If  you  need  to  turn  something  into  a  picture,  I  say  Adams.  What  do  you  think  of?  Free  associations,  stream  of  consciousness,  I  say  Adams.  You  think  of  what?        

  Samuel  Adams,  like  Adams  beer,  imagine  putting  that  Samuel  Adams'  beer  all  in  your  shoes  or  your  socks.  Imagine  that.  I  say  Adams,  you  think  of  what?  You’re  your  Adams,  imagine  you're  looking  at  your  socks  and  it's  made  of  lots  of  Adams,  but  see  it  there.  Look  at  the  Adams.  What  else?  I  say  Adams,  you  think  of  what?  An  adding  machine,  imagine  that  a  calculator  or  something  to  add  something  right  in  your  shoes.    

  Whatever  associations  you  come  up  with  is  the  right  thing.  Again,  whatever  associations  you  come  up  with  is  the  right  thing.  Let's  say  you  think  of  the  Adams  Family,  the  old  television  show.  Imagine  them  wearing  all  kinds  of  socks,  and  that's  the  only  thing  they're  wearing.  That's  what  you're  imagining.  Two  is  Adams.    

  The  third  president,  now  go  to  the  third  place  on  your  sun  list  is  what?  Traffic  light.  The  third  president  of  the  United  States  is  who?  Jefferson,  so  if  I  say  

Page 11: Recall Masterclass Week 4

Jefferson,  what  do  you  think  of?  You  can  either  think  of  Jefferson,  something  that  remind  you  of  Jefferson,  like  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  something  that  reminds  you  of  it,  or  remember  if  something  doesn't  remind  you,  it's  always  one  of  two  things.    

  Either  it's  something  that  reminds  you  of  it  that  you  can  picture,  or  it's  something  that  sounds  like.  Remember  in  Pictionary,  if  you're  not  sure  what  it  is,  you  draw  an  ear  and  it  says  like,  "It  sounds  like  that."  Let's  use  this  as  an  example,  Jefferson.  For  me,  I'm  thinking  about  some  of  the  Jeffersons,  the  television  show,  which  I  grew  up  watching.  Jefferson,  then  I'll  put  that  traffic  light,  or  I  would  say  something  that  sounds  like  it.  

  Jeff  sounds  like  chef.  By  the  way,  when  I'm  memorizing  people's  names,  I  ever  meet  someone  named  Jeff,  I  just  think  chef.  I  put  a  chef's  hat  on,  so  I  think  Jefferson,  Jeff  and  his  son.  I  have  a  friend  named  Jeff  and  his  son.  I  see  them  playing  on  the  traffic  light.  I  see  my  friend  Jeff  hanging  from  the  traffic  light,  and  his  son's  down  below  it  ready  to  catch  him.    

  Not  that  that  would  ever  happen.  It's  illogical.  It's  outstanding.  It's  a  little  weird,  unusual.  That's  why  I  remember  it.  We  don't  remember  the  things  that  are  mundane.  That's  really  the  secret  to  quick  recall.  It's  about  taking  the  ordinary  things  on  the  outside,  a  name,  a  formula,  a  president,  a  speech,  a  foreign  language,  something  you  need  to  do,  something  that's  ordinary  and  representing  it  and  making  it  extraordinary  inside  our  minds.  

  That's  the  magic.  Recently,  we  did  an  event  for  superhero  you.  We  had  someone  in  the  audience.  We  had  Don  Miguel  Ruiz,  who  wrote  the  Four  Agreements,  a  seven-­‐year,  eight-­‐year  New  York  Times  bestselling  book.  The  Four  Agreements'  a  great  book  to  pick  up  if  you  haven't  read  this  book.  Four  Agreements'  amazing.  I  asked  him  afterwards,  "What's  your  superpower?"    

  He  says,  "Jim,  my  superpower  is  the  same  as  your  superpower,  which  is  the  same  as  everyone's  superpower.  It's  our  superpower  of  imagination."  Remember,  imagination  is  more  powerful  than  knowledge.  Einstein  said  that,  because  knowledge  is  what  is.  Imagination  is  what  can  be.  Its  potential.  Your  mind  doesn't  know  the  difference  between  something  you  vividly  imagine  and  something  that's  real.  Imagine  it.  Jefferson  and  traffic  lights,  see  that.  Remember,  don't  say  it.  See  it.    

  Now,  who  is  the  fourth  president?  Let's  go  to  your  fourth  place.  What's  your  fourth  place?  It's  car.  The  fourth  president  is  who  if  you  remember  this?  

Page 12: Recall Masterclass Week 4

Kwik Recall Masterclass Week 4 Page 12 of 27 ©  2015  Kwik  Learning,  LLC        www.KwikLearning.com  

Madison,  President  Madison,  now  James  Madison.    Turn  Madison  into  a  picture.  If  we  were  playing  Pictionary,  what  would  you  need  to  draw  to  remember  Madison?  If  I  say  Madison,  what  do  you  remember?  

  Madison  Square  Garden,  maybe  New  York  City,  Madison  Avenue,  or  maybe  if  it's  not  something  that  reminds  you  of,  maybe  it's  something  that  sounds  like.  What  sounds  like  Madison?  For  me,  if  someone  says,  "Who  is  the  fourth  president?"  I'm  not  really  sure,  but  then  I  think  of  medicine,  medicine  would  remind  me  of  Madison,  because  it's  close  enough.    

  Just  like  when  you're  forgetting  someone's  name,  and  you  think  of,  "Oh,  here  is  a  hint.  It  starts  with  an  S.  Oh,  it's  sally."  The  S  reminds  you,  because  that's  how  your  memory  works,  that  association.  One  letter  could  trigger  and  remind  you  of  the  entire  fact  or  the  name  in  this  case.  Let's  say  it's  medicine.  You  think  of  medicine,  and  you  think  of  the  fourth  place,  which  is  what?  Car,  you  open  up  your  car.  What  comes  out?  Lots  of  pills,  lots  of  medicine,  all  kinds  of  [inaudible  00:26:12],  everything  that  you  take  if  you're  sick,  medicine.    

  If  you're  not  using  medicine  to  remind  you  of  Madison,  what  can  you  use?  Let's  say  it's  Madison  Square  Garden.  You're  going  to  Madison  Square  Garden,  a  big  sports  arena.  What's  going  on  down  on  the  court  there?  Lots  of  cars,  you  see  all  your  cars  there,  and  that  reminds  you  of  Madison.  That's  number  four.    

  Now  five,  go  to  your  fifth  place.  What's  your  fifth  place?  One,  two,  three,  four,  five,  what's  your  image  on  your  peg  list,  on  your  sun  list  if  you  will?  It's  your  glove,  because  five  fingers  into  your  glove.  Five  is  Monroe.  If  I  say  that's  President  Monroe,  that's  a  fact.  This  session  is  all  about  memorizing  facts.  Fifth  president  is  President  Monroe.  What  reminds  you  of  Monroe?    

  Marilyn  Monroe,  right?  If  you  think  of  Marilyn  Monroe,  associate  that  to  the  glove.  Imagine  Marilyn  Monroe  wearing  your  gloves.  Make  it  a  very  specific  glove.  Maybe  it's  like  Michael  Jackson's  glove  or  some  gloves  that  you're  very  familiar  to,  that  you're  more  likely  to  remember.  That's  glove.  Now  if  nothing  comes  to  mind  for  Monroe,  then  you  think  of  something  that  sounds  like.    

  By  the  way,  it  takes  a  lot  more  time  to  explain  it  than  it  does  to  actually  do  it.  It  takes  more  time  to  explain  it  than  it  actually  takes  to  do  it.  Just  see  it  in  a  heartbeat.  Monroe,  it  could  be  a  sound  like.  What  sounds  like  Monroe?  For  me,  it  sounds  like  man  rowing.  If  I  didn't  know  who  the  president  was,  and  I  was  like,  "Oh,  it  sounds  like  man  rowing."  I  was  like,  "Oh,  Monroe."  That's  enough  association.    

Page 13: Recall Masterclass Week 4

  Here,  this  is  what  you  ought  to  remember.  These  are  means  to  an  end.  These  techniques  are  a  means  to  an  end,  because  here's  the  thing.  There's  three  parts  to  your  memory.  There  is  an  encoding  process  for  informations  going  in.  There's  a  storing  process.  We're  putting  in  that  vault  of  your  mind,  your  bank  vault  [inaudible  00:28:01],  and  your  memory  bank,  and  this  is  pulling  it  out,  which  is  retrieving,  so  three  parts.    

  Encoding  it.  Storing  it,  and  then  retrieving  it.  The  challenge  though  is  when  the  information  is  in  your  sensory  or  your  working  memory,  your  short-­‐term  memory,  you  only  have  about  five  six,  seven  seconds  to  do  something  with  that  information  before  it's  gone.  I  call  it  the  six  seconds  syndrome.  People  give  you  their  name,  or  they  give  you  their  phone  number,  and  you're  like,  "Oh  no."    

  You  have  six  seconds  to  do  something.  That's  when  you  use  the  technique.  When  you  use  the  technique  to  be  able  to  memorize  something,  it  gets  you  to  focus  on  it.  Even  when  it  doesn't  work,  it  still  works  because  you're  focusing  on  what  you  want  to  remember.  That  observation  will  help  you.    

  Remember  when  we  talked  about  motivation  and  observation  mechanics?  That's  why  these  techniques  work.  Even  when  it  doesn't  work,  it  still  tends  to  work.  Here  is  the  thing.  Once  you  know  that  it's  Washington,  and  Adams,  and  Jefferson,  and  Madison,  and  Monroe,  those  are  the  presidents,  and  you  know  them  all  in  order,  then  the  pictures  disappear,  because  they're  a  means  to  an  end.    

  Remember,  the  end  is  to  remember  the  fact.  The  means  are  these  techniques  that  I'm  teaching  you  to  be  able  to  store  the  information  quicker,  instead  of  the  old  way  which  is  just  repetition  over  and  over  and  over  each  group.  Repeat  something  50  times,  and  then  forget  it  the  next  day,  plus  taking  something  and  repeating  it  50  times  is  going  to  take  up  a  lot  of  time.      

  Remember,  Monroe  for  this  one  is  what?  Number  what?  Five.  Remember  you  have  a  picture  there,  a  man  rowing  wearing  your  gloves,  Monroe.  Sixth  president,  who  is  the  sixth  president?  It's  who?  What's  your  sixth  place  first  of  all?  Sixth  place  is  what?  Soda,  good  because  of  the  six-­‐pack.  Remember  the  six-­‐pack  of  soda?  If  there's  anything  that  represents  six  for  you,  it  could  be  a  die,  like  a  dice  and  stuff  like  that,  whatever  works  for  you.    

  Some  people  use  a  gun  for  a  six-­‐shooter,  whatever  you  like.  Let's  take  soda  in  this  example.  Some  people  will  use  beer,  but  whatever  you  use.  Let's  say  soda,  and  the  sixth  president  is  Adams.  It's  also  Adams.  Go  back,  Adams  what?  You're  

Page 14: Recall Masterclass Week 4

Kwik Recall Masterclass Week 4 Page 14 of 27 ©  2015  Kwik  Learning,  LLC        www.KwikLearning.com  

thinking  like,  "Oh,  it's  Sam  Adams'  beer  again."  If  that's  what  reminds  you,  we'll  think  of  that.  Sure,  you  could  do  beer,  Sam  Adams'  beer  sharing  with  what?  Soda,  and  just  make  it  ...    

  Here  is  the  thing.  Don't  make  it  logical.  Don't  just  look  at  a  counter  there,  and  just  see  Sam  Adams's  beer  and  some  soda.  That's  not  very  memorable.  Do  something  with  it.  Maybe  mix  them  together.  Drink  it  yourself,  eww  gross,  and  then  feel  it.  Taste  it.  That's  what's  going  to  make  it  memorable  for  you.    

  People  is  like,  "That's  so  childish.  This  is  what  children  do  to  learn  stuff."  How  fast  are  your  children  in  terms  of  their  learning?  How  great  is  their  memory?  Really,  really  fast,  number  six  is  Adams.  The  seventh  president,  now  go  to  your  seventh  place.  What's  your  seventh  place?  It's  rainbow.  Why?  Seven  colors  of  the  rainbow,  ROYGBIV,  red,  orange,  yellow,  so  on.    

  The  seventh  president  of  the  United  States  is  Jackson,  President  Andrew  Jackson.  How  do  you  remember  that?  If  I  say  Jackson  and  we're  playing  Pictionary,  how  are  you  going  to  recall  it?  What  reminds  you  of  Jackson?  Maybe  Michael  Jackson,  so  imagine  Michael  Jackson  doing  the  moonwalk  or  dancing  on  the  rainbow.  Imagine  that.  Do  you  see  it?  Imagine  Michael  Jackson  dressed  up  in  clothing,  and  it's  all  rainbow  color.    

  If  an  image  doesn't  come  up  when  I  say  Jackson,  then  what  do  you  do?  You  just  think  of  a  sound-­‐like.  Jack  and  his  son,  so  think  of  someone  known  as  Jack,  and  then  think  of  Jack  and  his  son,  and  there's  rainbows  everywhere.  That's  the  seventh  president.  I  want  to  go  through  this  rather  quickly,  the  rest  of  these.    

  Number  eight,  what's  your  place?  What's  on  your  sun  list?  Number  eight  is  what?  Let's  do  it  together.  Say  it  out  loud.  It  was  either  octopus  or  your  magic  eight  ball.  The  magic  eight  ball  is  like  the  eight  ball  when  you're  playing  pool.  The  magic  eight  ball  is  the  one  that  you  shake  up,  and  then  you  ask  it  a  silly  question  and  it  says,  "Yes  in  fact  that  will  happen  or  no,  not  in  your  wildest  dreams,"  that  kind  of  thing,  the  magic  eight  ball.    

  The  eighth  president  is  Van  Buren.  This  is  a  little  bit  more  difficult.  When  I  think  of  Van  Buren,  no  images  come  to  mind  that  remind  me  of  what  Van  Buren  is  or  who  he  is,  or  what  he's  done,  so  for  me,  I  would  think  of  a  sound-­‐like.  Van  Buren,  if  you  need  to  know  who  the  eighth  president  was,  what  would  need  to  sound  like  it  in  order  for  you  to  remember  it,  that  makes  it  memorable  for  you.

  Van  Buren  for  me  is  a  van.  A  van  alone  would  probably  remind  you  it,  or  a  van  that's  burning.  Imagine  eighth  ball,  and  you're  looking  at  your  eighth  ball.  You're  looking  at  it.  It's  going  to  tell  the  future,  and  say  if  you  look  at  it,  and  all  of  a  sudden,  you  see  a  van  burning  or  a  van  with  a  big  bureau  at  the  end,  like  you're  moving  a  bureau  in  the  back  of  a  van  and  it's  burning.    

  You  have  this  image  in  there.  That's  your  magic  eighth  ball.  If  you're  using  an  octopus,  imagine  octopus  wrapped  around  a  van  that's  burning.  Whatever  eight  is  for  you,  remember  that.    Finally,  nine  and  10,  what's  your  place?  What's  the  ninth  place  on  your  sun  list  is  what?  Cat,  it's  cat.  The  ninth  president  is  Harrison.  How  do  you  remember  that?  How  do  you  remember  that  the  ninth  president  is  Harrison?    

  If  I  say  Harrison,  what  do  you  think  of?  You  think  of  a  place.  Maybe  you  know  a  street  named  Harrison,  a  town  named  Harrison.  I  think  of  Harry  and  his  son,  whatever.  That's  how  a  lot  of  last  names  were  actually  created.  When  you're  thinking  of  Johnson,  this  is  Jack  and  his  son,  whenever  son  is  in  there,  so  Harrison.    

  I  think  of,  what,  somebody,  Harry  and  his  son,  Harry  son,  and  that's  what  I  remember.  Now,  the  number  nine  place  is  what?  On  your  sun  list,  nine  is  what?  Cat  because  nine  lives,  cat.  I  just  see  a  cat  and  his  Harry  son.  Cat,  Harry  son,  I  remember  the  ninth  president  is  Harrison.  Now  remember,  when  I  need  to  remember  the  presidents  because  I've  rehearsed  it  a  few  times  and  went  through  space  repetition.  Remember  space  repetition  is  you  rehearse  something.    

  If  you  wanted  to  go  from  your  short-­‐term  memory  more  to  your  long-­‐term  memory,  you  space  out  your  rehearsal  or  your  review.  One  hour  later,  one  day  later,  one  week  later,  one  month  later,  and  it's  yours.  You  should  be  able  to  memorize  all  of  these  presidents  in  a  matter  of  just  a  few  days,  for  the  repetition,  space  repetition  maybe  through  a  week  or  so.    

  Ninth  president  is  Harrison.  Think  of  the  cat  for  nine,  and  it's  Harry  son.  Finally,  let's  just  stop  at  10.  Number  10,  what's  10  on  your  list,  your  sun  list?  Ten  is  what?  Toes,  because  you  have  10  toes.  Maybe  that  was  your  basic  association,  the  very  first  tool  that  we  learned  in  this  system  through  the  Master  Class  series.    

  Now,  who  is  the  president?  The  10th  president  is  who?  President  Tyler.  If  I  say  Tyler,  what  comes  to  mind?  For  me,  it's  just  tiles.  Imagine  looking  down,  and  you're  laying  down  the  kitchen  tiles.  Maybe  there  is  somebody  there,  and  there  

Page 16: Recall Masterclass Week 4

Kwik Recall Masterclass Week 4 Page 16 of 27 ©  2015  Kwik  Learning,  LLC        www.KwikLearning.com  

are  tile  there.  They  are  putting  down  tiles.  Maybe  they  put  it  right  on  your,  what,  toe,  and  you  see  it.  Worst  of  all,  you  feel  it,  Tyler  on  your  toe.  That's  number  10.    

  Now,  feel  it.  Say  it.  Hear  it.  Now,  let's  test.  How  many  of  these  do  you  remember?  I  want  you  to  go  through  in  order  the  presidents  of  the  United  States  one  to  10.  If  you  could  do  one  to  10,  you  could  do  11  through  20  or  20  through  30  if  you've  built  that  to  your  sun  list  that  far.    

  What's  number  one?  You  go  through  your  sun.  You  see  what?  Washington,  good.  What's  number  two?  Go  to  your  second  place.  It's  what?  What's  your  second  place?  Your  socks,  and  what  was  there?  Adams,  good.  Number  three,  go  to  your  traffic  light.  What's  there?  What's  number  three?  Say  it  out  loud,  Jefferson.  By  the  way,  you  are  your  best  memory  coach.  I'm  here  to  help  you  facilitate,  but  you  should  know  now  why  you  forget  things.    

  If  certain  memories  aren't  coming  back  to  you,  don't  leave  it  off  like,  "Oh,  there's  something  in  this  magic  box,"  and  you're  not  sure  why  it  is.  You  know  why  it  is.  Did  you  see  it?  Did  you  say  it?  Did  you  do  it?  Did  you  add  action,  exaggeration?  Did  you  make  it  illogical?  That's  what's  going  to  make  you  remember.  That's  what's  going  to  make  you  remember  these  things.    

  Three  is  what?  Jefferson.  Go  to  your  fourth  place.  What's  your  fourth  place?  It's  what?  Car.  What's  going  on  in  your  car?  There's  lots  of  what?  Medicine  or  you're  at  Madison  Square  Garden.  Who  is  the  president?  Madison,  very  good.  Number  five,  go  to  your  fifth  place.  It's  what?  It's  your  glove.  Who  is  wearing  your  glove?  Marilyn  Monroe,  so  who  is  the  fifth  president?  Monroe,  good.    

  Go  to  your  sixth  place.  Who  is  the  sixth?  What  are  we  using  for  six?  Soda,  was  that  number  six  for  you  on  your  sun  list?  We're  you  cheering  on  with  Sam  Adams?  Adams'  beer  remind  you  of  Adams.  You  have  it,  President  Adams.  Number  seven,  what's  number  seven  on  your  list?  Rainbow,  good,  and  who  is  dancing  on  the  rainbow  and  singing  on  the  rainbow?  Michael  Jackson.  Who  is  the  president?  Jackson.    

  Number  eight,  go  to  eight.  What's  your  picture  for  eight?  Was  it  octopus?  Was  it  magic  eighth  ball?  What  was  it?  What  was  the  octopus  or  the  magic  eighth  ball  doing?  It  was  on  a  van.  What's  going  on  with  the  van?  It  had  a  bureau,  or  it  was  burning.  Who  is  the  president?  The  eighth  president  is  Van  Buren.  

  Finally  nine  and  10,  ninth  on  your  sun  list  is  what?  Cat.  What  was  the  cats  doing?  The  cats  were  there,  but  they  are  with  their  what?  Hairy  son.  Who  is  the  ninth  

Page 17: Recall Masterclass Week 4

Kwik Recall Masterclass Week 4 Page 17 of 27 ©  2015  Kwik  Learning,  LLC        www.KwikLearning.com  

president?  Harrison.  Finally  number  10,  what's  on  your  10  on  your  sun  list,  on  your  peg  list  is  what?  Toes,  and  what  happened  to  your  toes?  You  got  tiles  on  them.  The  tiler  was  doing.  Who  is  the  10th  president?  President  Tyler.    

  Congratulations!  You  went  through.  We  did  memorize  it  the  first  time.  By  the  way,  it  takes  a  lot  more  time  to  explain  it  than  it  actually  takes  to  do  it.  You  could  go  through  11.  You  could  go  through  12.  You  could  go  to  13.  You  go  to  14,  and  15,  and  grants  on.  Keep  on  going  throughout  all  of  them.  That's  your  gift.    

  One  of  the  assignments  I'm  going  to  ask  you  to  do  is  as  you're  building  out  your  sun  list,  and  you  already  have  something  from  11  to  20,  just  practice  doing  the  next  presidents  from  11  all  the  way  to  20,  11  to  20  presidents  of  the  United  States.  That's  a  really  good  exercise  for  what's  coming  up  in  terms  of  remembering  names.  Practice  turning  last  names  into  pictures  and  images.    

  Right  now,  we've  gone  through  so  far  for  facts.  We  went  through.  We  went  through  the  different  mnemonic  devices.  Remember  we  talked  about  different  ways  of  using  your  body.  We  created  terms  of  the  calendars.  We  talked  about  using  your  body  for  the  nine  tables,  but  also  that  was  preface  for  remembering  your  body  list.  What  was  number  one?  What  did  you  buy  at  the  grocery  store?  Number  one  was  what?  Chocolate  cake.    

  What  was  number  two?  Red  wine.  What  was  number  three,  number  four?  What  was  coming  out  of  your  teeth?  What  was  coming  out  of  your  ears?  What  was  coming  out  of  your  larynx?  See  how  that  memory  works?  It's  still  there  even  15  or  20  minutes  later,  because  you  learned  it  correctly.  Your  question  might  be,  "Can  I  use  my  body  list  every  single  time?"  Absolutely,  every  single  day,  you  could  use  your  body  list  over  again.  You'll  finally  remember  this  list  today,  and  you  remember  yesterday's  list.    

  Try  it  yourself.  If  you  need  to,  you  can  go  through  and  scrub  your  list.  You  can  go  through  your  body.  If  you  don't  need  to  remember  it  long-­‐term,  just  go.  Imagine  you're  going  taking  a  shower,  and  you  have  your  soap  and  your  shampoo.  Get  rid  of  the  chocolate  cake.  Get  rid  of  the  red  wine.  Get  rid  of  the  asparagus.  Get  rid  of  the  salsa  around  your  stomach,  and  then  clean  it  out  for  yourself  if  you  like  to  be  able  to  do  that  using  the  pleasure  of  your  imagination.    

  Now,  that  being  said,  I'm  going  to  teach  you  another  tool  for  your  memory  toolbox.  We’re  going  to  go  through  this  rather  quickly.  What  it  is  is  your  memory  a  lot  works  based  on  associations  and  reminders.  There's  a  process  where  it  links  

Page 18: Recall Masterclass Week 4

automatically  together.  Remember,  I  mentioned  that  all  memory  is  linking  something  you  don't  know  to  something  you  already  know.    

  What  we're  going  to  do  here  is  create  that  links  of  a  chain.  If  I  say  dog,  you  think  what?  Cat.  If  I  say  cat,  you  think  mouse.  I  say  mouse.  You  think  cheese.  I  say  cheese.  You  think  Swiss.  I  say  Swiss.  You  think  Alps.  I  say  Alps.  You  think  skiing.  It  just  keeps  on  going  on  and  on  and  on,  because  they're  links  of  a  chain.    

  What  I  want  you  to  do  is  I  want  to  give  you  a  list  of  words,  random  words.  I  want  you  to  do  the  best  you  can  to  be  able  to  memorize  this  list.  If  you've  seen  me  on  stage,  memorize  10  or  20  or  30  or  100  different  words  in  and  out  of  order,  then  this  is  one  of  those  secrets  on  how  to  do  it.    

  I'm  going  to  start  out  just  for  time  sake  just  giving  you  10,  because  if  you  can  do  10,  you  can  do  20.  You  can  do  20.  You  can  do  30  or  40.  Inch  by  inch,  it's  the  cinch.  Yard  by  yard,  it's  too  hard.  Inch  by  inch,  it's  the  cinch.  Yard  by  yard,  too  hard.  Remember,  a  journey  of  a  thousand  miles  starts  with  only,  what,  one  step.    

  Let's  go  through  the  steps.  I'm  going  to  give  you  10  words  really  quickly,  and  you're  going  to  do  the  best  you  can  to  memorize  them.  I  would  say  go  do  what  you  normally  do,  because  this  is  going  to  be  very  discovery.  I  think  actually  a  lot  of  learning  is  a  discovery  process.  It's  not  just  consuming  new  facts.  It's  you  coming  to  conclusion  like,  "This  is  what  it  is."  There's  a  Socratic  method  of  asking  questions,  and  coming  up  with  your  own  answers.    

  Here  are  the  10  words  I  want  you  to  memorize.  These  are  the  10  words.  I  want  you  to  remember  this,  water  bottle,  balloon,  batteries,  barrel,  board  like  a  surfboard,  diamond,  knight  rider,  ox,  toothpaste,  sign.  [Inaudible  00:41:53]  memorize  these  10  words  too.  Now,  do  the  best  you  can  to  memorize  these  words.  Write  them  down  now.  Take  a  few  minutes.  Write  them  down.  What  are  these  10  words?    

  Write  as  many  as  you  remember.  It’s  stuck  on  one;  go  to  the  next  one,  ideally  in  order.  Very  good.  Now,  let's  go  through  as  many  of  these  you  could  remember.  Number  one  was  what?  Water  bottle.  After  that?  Balloon.  After  balloon?  Batteries.  After  batteries?  Barrel.  After  barrel?  Board.  After  board?  Diamond.  After  diamond?  Knight  rider.  After  knight  rider?  Ox.  After  Ox?  Toothpaste.  After  toothpaste?  Sign.    

  How  did  we  do?  Put  it  down  below.  I  want  to  know  how  you  did.  Now,  I'm  going  to  teach  you  the  technique.  I'm  going  to  take  ...  I  want  you  to  tell  me  ...  In  fact,  

Page 19: Recall Masterclass Week 4

let's  switch  this.  Now,  you  are  the  memory  expert.  Tell  me  the  words  that  you  remember.  Tell  me  why.  Write  it  down  below.  Which  words  did  you  remember  out  of  those  10?    

  Here  is  the  thing.  Memory,  it  always  leaves  clues.  It's  not  random  that  you  memorized  some  of  these  words  and  the  other  ones  you  didn't.  Why  did  you  remember  certain  words?  Which  words  did  you  remember?  Tell  me  why.  Some  of  the  answers  that  we'll  get,  it  would  be,  "I  remembered  water  bottle."  Why  would  you  remember  water  bottle?  Because  it  was  first.  It  was  first,  right?    

  We  tend  to  remember  things  that  are  first.  What  else?  What  did  you  remember?  Sign,  a  lot  of  people  remember  sign  because  it  was  the  last.  Here  is  the  phenomenon.  You  tend  to  remember  things  first  and  you  tend  to  memorize  things  last.  In  Science,  they  call  it  primacy  and  recency.  Primacy,  prime,  first  when  you  remember  things  in  the  beginning.  Recency  is  you  tend  to  remember  things  last  or  more  recent.    

  What's  primacy,  recency?  It's  like  if  you  go  to  a  party  and  you  meet  20  strangers,  primacy  says  you'll  probably  remember  the  people  in  the  beginning  of  the  party,  and  the  people  you  say  goodbye  to  at  the  end.  That's  primacy  and  recency.  What  else?  If  I  gave  you  a  list  of  20  words  or  30  words,  primacy  says  you'll  remember  the  words  in  the  beginning,  and  then  you  remember  the  words  at  the  end,  most  recent.    

  What  other  words  did  you  remember  on  that  list?  Some  people  say,  "I  remember  the  B's.  I  remembered  the  things  where  I  went  from  balloons  and  battery  and  barrel  and  board,"  because  there  is  four  Bs.  You’re  like,  "There's  a  pattern  there.  There  was  an  organization  there.  There  was  certain  levels."  Some  people  call  it  chunking,  chunking  and  putting  some  order  to  something.    

  Do  you  tend  to  remember  things  that  are  organized?  Of  course,  you  do.  If  I  gave  you  a  list  of  20  words,  you  might  remember  five,  six,  or  seven  of  those  words,  but  if  I  said  beforehand,  "OK,  there  is  five  ..  Let  me  give  you  20  words,  but  these  words  are  going  to  be  colors.  These  words  are  going  to  be  state  capitals.  These  words  are  going  to  be  presidents.  These  words  are  going  to  be  fruits,"  you're  more  likely  to  remember  more  of  them  because  you  have  an  organized  way  of  storing  information,  to  filing  them  away.    

  You  memorized  the  first  of  the  four  B's.  What  other  words  did  you  tend  to  remember  on  this  list?  Tell  me  down  below.  Maybe  you  remembered  toothpaste.  Why  would  you  remember  toothpaste?  Maybe  because  you  brushed  

Page 20: Recall Masterclass Week 4

Kwik Recall Masterclass Week 4 Page 20 of 27 ©  2015  Kwik  Learning,  LLC        www.KwikLearning.com  

your  teeth  today,  and  it's  very  familiar  for  you.  You're  thinking,  "OK,  do  you  tend  to  remember  things  that  are  familiar?"  Yes,  that's  a  principle  of  recall.    

  What  we're  doing  here  is  we're  extracting  the  elements  of  recall  out  of  something.  I  organically  gave  you  10  words  to  memorize,  and  then  all  of  a  sudden,  you  memorized  three,  four,  five,  or  six,  or  seven  of  them.  They're  like,  "Why  did  you  remember  it?"  Because  there  are  certain  phenomenon,  certain  memory  elements,  principles  of  recall  that  were  there.    

  I  want  you  to  get  sensitized  what  those  things  are,  so  you  could  apply  that  towards  the  things  you  want  to  remember  in  the  future.  It's  not  magic  that  you  remembered  these  memory  things.  It's  actually  a  method  that  you're  doing  consciously  or  unconsciously.  What  other  tends  did  you  tend  to  remember?  Knight  rider,  do  you  know  what  a  knight  rider  is?    

  Yes,  you  remembered.  It's  that  black  car.  [Remember  you  have  a  kit  00:46:16],  and  you  have  Michael  Knight  with  David  Hasselhoff,  and  that  car  Knight  Rider.  You  might  remember  that.  Why?  Because  it's  outstanding,  because  it's  a  little  unusual.  It’s  a  little  weird  because  it  stands  out  from  all  the  other  words.  That's  the  principle  of  recall.    

  If  you  go  to  a  party  and  meet  20  strangers,  and  there's  one  person  that's  really  bizarre  and  stands  out,  you're  more  likely  to  remember  him  or  her  because  it's  unusual.  Write  that  down.  That's  a  principle  of  recall.  You  have  primacy.  You  have  recency.  You  have  pattern  and  organization.  You  have  familiarity  as  a  recall  principle.    

  You  also  have  things  that  are  weird  or  outstanding,  that  are  different  and  unique  like  Knight  Rider.  What  other  words  do  you  tend  to  remember?  Some  people  will  remember  diamond.  Why  would  some  people  remember  diamond?  Because  there  is  an  emotion  connected  to  diamond,  an  emotion.  Do  we  tend  to  remember  things  that  are  emotional?  Of  course,  things  that  have  interest  to  us,  things  that  are  valuable  to  us,  we  tend  to  remember.    

  Just  like  you  tend  to  go  to  a  party  if  you  meet  somebody  that  let's  say  you're  motivated  to  remember,  that  you  have  interest  in,  maybe  you're  interested  in  romantically  or  maybe  they  could  be  in  some  kind  of  sale  or  some  kind  of  deal  being  made.  There's  motivation.  There  is  interest.  There  is  value  that's  there.  You're  more  likely  to  remember  their  name.  You're  motivated  to  do  it.

  What  other  words  do  you  tend  to  remember  out  of  that  list?  You  went  through  the  B's.  You  went  through  Knight  Rider.  You  tend  to  go  through  what  else?  Ox,  maybe  some  people  remember  ox  because  you  associated  ox  to  toothpaste.  Maybe  you  made  a  visual  representation  or  you  pictured  the  ox,  that's  why  you  remember  it.  Visualization  or  imagination  is  an  element  to  recall.    

  Perfect!  These  are  the  different  elements.  You  have  them  written  down,  imagination,  visualization,  association,  primacy  and  recency,  emotion,  familiarity.  You  have  things  like  making  things  outstanding,  and  weird,  and  illogical.  All  of  those  are  principles  to  recall.  In  the  future  moving  forward,  for  everything  that  I  want  you  to  remember,  whether  it's  decks  of  cards  or  just  remembering  jokes  or  remembering  foreign  languages,  I  want  you  to  use  more  of  these  elements.    

  These  are  elements  that  you  told  me  will  help  you  to  remember  things.  Now,  let's  apply  those  elements  towards  the  words  that  you  forgot.  My  hypothesis  is  that  you  probably  forgot  certain  words.  Let's  say  it's  two,  three,  four,  or  five  words,  you  didn't  visualize  it.  You  didn't  associate  it.  You  had  no  emotional  impact.  It  was  not  first,  last.  It  was  not  organized,  all  those  different  things.    

  Let's  use  the  technique  here.  It's  called  chain  linking.  This  technique  is  called  chain  linking.  Remember  we  went  dog,  and  we  went  cat.  We  went  mouse.  We  went  cheese.  Those  are  links  of  a  chain.  What  I  want  you  to  do  with  the  technique  is  taking  of  things,  the  facts  because  that's  what  this  session  is  all  about,  and  turning  each  one  into  a  picture,  and  linking  them  like  links  in  a  chain.    

  Let's  do  this  together.  Take  a  deep  breath.  Exhale,  and  it's  safe  to  do  so.  You're  not  operating  heavy  machinery.  You're  not  driving.  I  want  you  to  close  your  eyes  and  breathe  normally.  Now,  we're  going  to  make  a  little  story.  This  is  the  chain  linking  story  method.  With  your  eyes  closed,  I  want  you  to  imagine  a  water  bottle.    

  If  you've  done  this  with  me  before,  let's  do  it  again,  because  we're  on  the  road  to  mastery.  We're  not  about  doubling.  Doubling  is  not  the  course  here.  This  is  not  the  doubling  class.  This  is  the  memory  master  class.  Masters  get  really  great  at  the  fundamentals.  They  get  really  good  at  the  fundamentals,  the  basics.    

  Hear  what  we're  doing.  Close  your  eyes.  I  want  you  to  imagine  a  water  bottle.  Imagine  a  water  bottle  now.  I  want  you  to  see  it.  Feel  it.  Maybe  even  taste  it.  Notice  the  size  of  it.  Notice  the  brand.  What  brand  of  water  is  it?  Say  it  out  loud,  whatever  you  just  said.  Perfect!  Say  it  out  loud.  Remember  the  active  part.

  We're  going  to  apply  some  of  these  techniques.  We're  going  to  use  action,  imagination,  association,  making  emotion.  I  want  you  to  imagine  tied  to  it  right  now.  Tied  to  it  is  a  gigantic  helium  balloon.  Look  at  the  helium  balloon.  It's  so  large.  It's  carrying  it  up  to  the  sky.    

  I  want  you  to  see  the  color  of  the  balloon.  Even  if  you  can  imagine  it,  remember  this  is  a  training  in  mental  toughness,  memory  toughness.  Even  if  you  can't  imagine  it,  imagine  that  you  can  imagine  it.  Imagine  that's  there.  What  color  is  it?  What's  that  feel  like?  See  it.  Say  it.  Feel  it.  What  is  the  smell  like?  Imagine  it's  carrying  the  water  bottle  up.    

  Imagine  from  the  sky  comes  a  barrage  of  batteries.  Lots  of  different  batteries  are  coming  flying  through,  and  they  popped  the  balloon.  They  popped  the  balloon.  Look  at  the  batteries.  Are  they  double-­‐A  batteries,  triple  A  batteries,  C  batteries,  D  batteries,  car  batteries?    

  What  brand  of  batteries?  Say  it  out  loud.  What  brand  of  batteries  is  it?  Perfect!  Whatever  you  just  said,  that's  what  batteries.  You're  like,  "Where  do  the  batteries  come  from?"  I  want  you  to  imagine  that  it  came  from  a  gigantic  wooden  barrel.  You're  like,  "You  see  the  barrel."  See  what  it's  made  of.  See  the  size  of  it.  See  the  color  of  it.  See  how  old  or  new  it  is.  Good.    

  Inside  the  barrel,  on  the  side  of  the  barrel,  there's  a  surfboard.  It's  a  board,  surfboard  on  the  side  of  the  barrel.  When  you  see  the  board,  see  what  it's  made  out  of.  See  the  colors  of  the  board.  There  is  no  right  or  wrong,  because  this  is  exercising  creativity.  If  you're  really  left-­‐brain,  logical,  this  is  an  exercise  in  relating  up  your  right  brain,  creativity,  your  imagination,  your  visualization.    

  Rolling  down  the  surfboard,  the  board,  is  a  gigantic  diamond,  not  like  a  one  or  two  karat  diamond.  It  is  a  64  karat  diamond  rolling  down  the  board.  It  falls  off  the  board,  and  it  lands  right  through  the  sun  roof  of  Knight  Rider,  that  black  sports  car,  right  in  Knight  Rider.  Knight  Rider  goes  off,  and  it  parallel  parks  right  behind  an  ox  between  two  oxen.    

  Ox  in  front,  ox  in  the  back,  parallel  parks.  You're  looking  at  the  oxen.  Something's  really  strange.  It  smells.  It  smells  out  of  its  mouth,  and  you  go  to  brush  the  ox's  teeth.  You  use  toothpaste.  Remember  toothpaste.  That's  the  ninth  thing  you  need  to  remember,  toothpaste.  I  want  you  to  look  at  the  toothpaste.  [Inaudible  00:52:09]  yourself  brushing  that  ox's  teeth.  Smell  what  that  smells  like,  and  notice  what  brand  of  toothpaste  it  is.  Say  it  out  loud.  What  brand  is  it?  Brand,  good.    

Page 23: Recall Masterclass Week 4

Kwik Recall Masterclass Week 4 Page 23 of 27 ©  2015  Kwik  Learning,  LLC        www.KwikLearning.com  

  Then  after  the  toothpaste  is  done,  it  squirts  all  over  this  gigantic  neon  sign.  I  want  you  to  see  on  the  sign,  it  says,  "Congratulations!"  Congratulations  all  over  the  sign.  There's  a  big  explosion  of  congratulations  on  the  neon  sign.  Now,  with  your  eyes  closed,  I  want  you  a  memory  expert  to  go  through  and  go  through  a  water  bottle  all  the  way  to  sign.    

  Take  a  moment  now.  Breathe  normally.  Just  walk  through  yourself  each  of  the  10  things.  Do  it  now.  Go  through  number  one,  number  two,  number  three.  Take  your  time  and  go  through  it.  If  you  finished  early,  try  to  doing  it  backwards.  You  can  do  it.  Let's  do  it  together.  Let's  say  it  out  loud,  and  even  if  you  haven't  finished.    

  What  was  number  one?  Fire,  no.  What  was  it,  number  one?  Water  bottle,  number  one  was  water  bottle.  Number  two  is  what?  Balloons,  good.  Number  three  was?  Batteries,  good.  What  was  number  four?  Barrel.  What  was  number  five?  Board.  What  was  number  six?  Diamond.  Number  seven?  Knight  Rider.  Number  eight?  Ox.  Number  nine?  Toothpaste.  Number  10?  Sign.    

  Can  you  do  it  backwards?  Can  you  do  it  backwards?  How  we  do?  Can  we  do  it  backwards?  Sign.  What's  before  sign?  Toothpaste.  Before  toothpaste?  Ox.  Before  Ox?  Knight  Rider.  Before  Knight  Rider?  You  could  do  it.  Diamond.  Before  diamond?  Board.  Before  Board?  Barrel.  What  was  before  barrel?  Batteries.  Before  batteries?  Balloon.  Right  before  balloon?  Water  bottle.  Great!    

  Now,  how  did  we  do  the  second  time?  Write  it  down  below.  Out  of  the  10,  how  many  did  you  do  the  second  time?  What  was  the  first  thing  that  you  got  out  of  the  first  10  for  the  second  time?  If  you  didn't  get  one,  I'll  keep  on  talking  as  you're  writing  this  one.  Notice  why.  Remember,  you  are  your  best  coach  on  this.  Why  did  you  forget  certain  things?  Did  you  forget  the  ox?    

  Did  you  forget  the  Knight  Rider?  Did  you  not  picture  it?  Did  you  not  make  an  association?  Did  you  not  make  it  logical  enough?  Did  you  just  hear  what  I  said,  and  not  pictured  it?  This  all  not  memorizing  data  and  facts.  Now,  how  do  you  apply  this  new  technique?  We  went  through  your  body  list,  right?  We  went  through  a  new  chain  linking  method  to  be  able  to  create  this.    

  We  used  the  sun  method  to  be  able  to  go  through,  and  go  through  the  last  names.  How  do  you  apply  chain  linking  towards  technical  facts?  Let's  do  this.  Let's  go  back  to  school,  because  everyone  watching  this,  we  have  people  from  students  super  sure  are  quick  learners  from  120  different  countries  that  registered  for  the  Master  Class.

  We  all  have  different  careers.  We  all  have  different  vocations.  We  all  have  different  passions.  Let's  go  back  to  school.  What  area  of  class  that  was  there  a  lot  of  memorization  of  facts?  What  area?  History,  some  Math,  a  lot  of  Sciences.  Science  is  really  popular.  What  kind  of  things  did  you  need  to  memorize  in  Science?  What  Science?  Biology,  Physics,  Chemistry,  let's  take  Chemistry.    

  What  did  you  need  to  memorize  in  Chemistry?  Chemistry  is  very,  very  ...  Let's  take  something  very  technical.  The  elements,  right?  What  are  these  elements,  these  chemical  elements?  They  call  it  the  periodic  table.  How  would  you  go  and  memorize  the  periodic  table?  Now,  if  I  could  show  you  how  to  memorize  the  elements  for  all  of  the  elements  on  the  periodic  table,  would  you  agree  that  they  fall  on  to  three  categories  for  most  people?    

  Number  one,  the  chemical  elements  on  the  periodic  table,  they  would  be  probably  pretty  technical.  Number  two,  pretty  boring  for  a  lot  of  people,  and  number  three,  not  very  relevant  to  your  life.  Now,  oxygen  and  other  things  are  very  relevant  to  your  life,  but  not  in  your  day  to  day  life  knowing  that.  

  If  I  could  show  you  how  to  use  chain  linking  to  memorize  something  that's  technical,  to  be  able  to  memorize  things  that  are  boring  to  you,  very  dull,  maybe  you're  not  interested  in,  and  things  that  are  not  relevant  to  you,  your  life,  your  family  or  your  career.  Are  you  excited  about  that?    

  I  would  get  very  excited  about  that,  because  then  you  can  apply  it  towards  things  that  are  interesting  to  you.  You  can  apply  it  towards  things  that  are  very  relevant  to  you.  That  way,  you  can  apply  it  towards  things  that  are  more  easier,  not  as  technical,  because  it's  your  vocation.  It's  your  passion.  It's  your  interest.    

  Let's  do  it.  Let's  go  through  the  elements  of  the  periodic  table.  What's  the  first  element?  Let's  do  it  together  if  you  remember  this?  Hydrogen,  what's  the  second  element?  Helium.  What's  the  third  element?  Lithium.  I  can  just  be  making  this  up.  Do  you  remember  these  back  in  school?  Lithium,  after  Lithium  was  what?  What  was  right  after  Lithium?  Beryllium,  good.    

  After  beryllium  is  what?  Boron.  After  Boron  is  what?  Carbon.  After  carbon  is  what?  Nitrogen.  After  nitrogen  is  oxygen.  After  oxygen  is  fluorine.  After  fluorine  is  what?  Neon.  Those  are  the  first  10  elements.  Now,  we'll  just  focus  on  10,  because  if  you  do  10,  you  could  do  11  through  20.  In  fact,  I'm  going  to  ask  you  to  practice  11  to  20.    

Page 25: Recall Masterclass Week 4

  I'm  going  to  show  you  now  how  to  use  chain  linking.  The  elements  of  what  you  said  helps  you  to  better  recall  the  principles  of  recall  if  you  will.  I'm  going  to  take  chain  linking.  If  you  have  to  memorize  the  first  10  elements  of  the  periodic  table,  I'm  going  to  show  you  how  to  do  it  in  two  minutes.    

  If  you're  going  to  do  the  first  two  in  two  minutes,  you  can  do  the  next  10,  11  through  20,  in  the  next  two  minutes.  You  can  memorize  the  whole  periodic  table  over  time.  Remember  inch  by  inch,  it's  a  cinch.  Yard  by  yard,  too  hard,  one  step.  Here  is  what  we're  going  to  do.  Turn  every  single  thing  that  you  want  to  memorize  into  a  picture,  remember,  and  then  connect  the  pictures.    

  That's  everything  using  action,  exaggeration.  Make  it  illogical.  Make  it  outstanding.  Make  it  unusual,  the  vowels.  The  vowels  are  what  glue  a  word  together.  The  vowels  is  what  glues  your  links  together.  Chain  linking  is  this.  Let's  say  you  have  hydrogen.  That's  the  first  element.  What  reminds  you  of  hydrogen?  If  I  say  hydrogen,  you  can  think  of  hydrogen  bomb.  You  can  think  of  fire  hydrant,  something  that  people  think  of  hydro,  like  a  bottle  of  water.    

  Imagine  a  bottle  of  water.  That's  what  reminds  you  of  hydrogen.  Think  of  a  picture  of  bottle  water.  Number  two,  helium.  Now,  turn  it  into  a  picture.  What's  a  picture  for  helium?  If  I  say  helium  and  I  needed  to  show  you  on  a  board  by  drawing  it,  painting  a  picture  of  it,  what  could  remind  you  of  helium?  A  balloon,  right,  a  helium  balloon,  so  you  have  the  helium  balloon,  and  you  have  water  bottle.    

  Connect  the  two  together.  Imagine  a  water  bottle  tied  to  a  helium  balloon.  It  takes  this  up  in  the  sky,  good.  Now,  the  next  thing,  third  thing  that  you're  going  to  memorize  is  lithium.  Lithium  is  the  third  element.  When  I  say  lithium,  what  do  you  think  of?  Battery,  right,  lithium  batteries,  and  so  lithium,  so  batteries.  Connect  batteries  to  what?  Balloon.    

  Forget  about  the  water  bottle,  just  batteries,  balloon.  Imagine  the  balloon  is  there,  and  all  these  batteries  come  and  they  popped  the  balloon.  They  popped  the  balloon  like  that.  They  popped  the  balloon,  good.  Now,  after  batteries,  with  the  lithium  batteries,  it's  beryllium,  beryl  ileum.  What  can  you  picture?  What  sounds  like  beryl  ileum  for  beryllium?  

  A  barrel,  right?  That's  where  the  batteries  came  from.  Imagine  the  batteries  are  coming  from  this  gigantic  wooden  barrel.  Does  this  sound  a  little  bit  familiar?  Of  course  it  does  a  memory  expert,  because  we  just  did  this  already,  right?  This  list  is  actually  the  periodic  table.  After  beryllium,  barrel  ileum,  is  bore,  that  you're

bored.  That's  boron.  Rolling  down  the  board  was  what?  A  diamond  will  remind  you  of  carbon,  because  a  diamond  is  just  compressed  coal  or  compressed  carbon.    

  If  you  didn't  know  that,  what  could  have  been  rolling  down  the  board?  A  car  full  of  bon  bons,  the  chocolate  ice  cream  bon  bon  is  rolling  down  the  board.  That  would  remind  you  of  carbon.  The  coal  or  the  diamond  and  the  falling  into  the  Knight  Rider,  the  car,  Knight,  nitrogen.  It  reminds  you  of  nitrogen.  The  Knight  Rider  parked  behind  what?  An  ox,  what's  the  associate  element?  Oxygen.    

  You  clean  the  ox's  mouth  with  what?  Toothpaste  reminding  you  of  fluorine.  Then  after  that,  the  toothpaste  is  all  over  the  what?  Neon  sign,  and  that's  the  10th  element  is  neon.  Very  good.  The  chain  linking  is  a  wonderful  method  to  be  able  to  learn  facts,  another  technique  or  a  tool  you  could  use  to  memorize  facts  in  specific  orders.    

  I'm  going  to  ask  you  to  as  we're  wrapping  up  here  today  is  all  you  do  is  three  things.  Review  it.  Use  it,  and  teach  it.  I  want  you  to  review  this  lesson.  Go  through  with  your  notes.  Review  your  notes.  Actually  put  your  notes  down  below.  Put  your  notes  down  bellow.  Put  your  notes  down  the  bellow  over  the  things  that  you  learn,  and  share  with  the  people.    

  Review  your  notes.  Next,  you  use  it.  Here  is  what  you're  going  to  do.  When  you're  going  through  your  sun  list,  make  sure  you  go  through  create  11  through  20  or  20  to  30,  and  then  practice  using  that.  Go  through  your  body  list.  Remember  your  body  list?  What  was  on  your  top?  What  was  on  your  nose?  What  was  on  your  mouth?  What  was  on  your  ears,  and  so  on?    

  Remember  the  sun  list.  Remember  sun?  Who  is  the  president?  Washington.  What  was  number  two?  Shoes  or  your  socks.  Who's  the  second  president?  Adams.  Who  was  the  third  president?  Go  to  your  third  place,  traffic  light.  Who  knows  who?  Jefferson,  right?  Then  you  have  Madison.  You  have  Monroe.  You  have  Adams.  You  have  [all  of  them  01:01:55].  You  have  Jackson.    

  Remember  all  of  those.  What  I  want  you  to  do  another  practice  is  to  go  through  11  to  20.  Do  the  presidents  11  through  20.  Then  I'd  like  you  to  finally  memorize  for  factual  information,  technical  information  is  to  practice  the  periodic  table.  We  did  this  through  one  through  10.  I  want  you  to  practice.    

  Go  online,  and  look  at  the  elements  from  11,  12,  13,  14,  all  the  way  to  20.  If  you  want  to  get  really  fancy,  continue  the  chain  linking,  the  story  method,  all  the  way  

Page 27: Recall Masterclass Week 4

through  11  through  30.  That  would  build  your  brain  power.  Use  it.  First,  you  review  it.  You  can  watch  this  video  again.  Second  of  all,  you  use  it.  Thirdly,  teach  it  to  somebody  else.    

  Teach  them  the  body  list.  Go  through,  and  say,  "Hey,  I'm  taking  this  Master  Class.  I'm  really  excited  about  it.  Let  me  show  you  something  really  cool  on  how  to  memorize  your  grocery  list."  Teach  them  the  10  places  on  your  body.  Then  give  them  10  things.  Have  them  give  you  10  things.  You  teach  it,  because  when  you  teach  something,  you  get  to  learn  it  twice.    

  That's  the  magic.  You  get  to  play  it  forward.  Put  your  questions  down  below,  so  I  can  answer  them  in  the  coaching  call  and  the  Q&A  that  we  have  coming  up.  I  look  forward  in  this.  We're  just  getting  started.  We've  only  gone  through  a  handful  of  modules,  but  the  meat  of  it  is  still  to  come.    

  Now  that  we're  building  the  base,  and  I'm  showing  you  how  to  do  the  fundamentals,  we're  going  to  go  through  and  we're  going  to  get  to  play  a  lot  more.  The  things  that  are  coming  up  are  going  to  be  things  that  absolutely  blow  your  mind.  I'm  starting  to  get  these  goose  bumps.  I  call  them  truth  bumps  of  what's  to  come.  

  Keep  it  going.  Step  it  up.  I'm  here  to  be  able  to  challenge  you,  to  be  able  to  play  with  you.  I'm  your  coach.  Put  your  questions  down  bellow.  I  look  forward  to  answering  them.  I  look  forward  to  seeing  you  next  session.  Till  then,  I  wish  you  lots  of  life,  lots  of  love,  lots  of  laughter.  I  will  always  wish  you  lots  of  learning.  Be  unforgettable.  Take  care.
