Attain Photographic Memory In 30 Minutes. Guaranteed!

Published by Mike Michalowicz (Google+)

Before you read this post I need you to make me a promise. I need you to promise that you will email me after you read this post and tell me that you were able to do something that you knew was impossible. Then, I want you to promise me that you will never again believe anything to be impossible, that you will commit to finding a way, no matter what.

OK, OK, it’s a big promise. But by the end of this post you will be chomping at the bit to email me, I assure you.

Ready? Here we go…

Do you have a photographic memory? If someone tested you right now, I would bet you don’t have a photographic memory. Actually 99.997% of the world population doesn’t have it, so I doubt you do.  Or better said, I doubt you believe you do.

If I gave you 20 random items to remember – in order – could you do it? Let’s try it out. Read this list and try to remember all 20 items on the list in order.

1. Rusty razor blade, 2. Goalie mask, 3. Red VW bug, 4.Blender, 5. Coffee cup, 6. Brown paper bag, 7. Chess set with a broken white king piece, 8.Marble statue, 9.Megaphone, 10. Shower curtain, 11. Canopy bed, 12. Plaid wool blanket, 13. Pencil, 14. Salt shaker, 15. Wooden baseball bat, 16. Private jet, 17. White apron, 18.Button, 19. Superman costume, 20. Fluorescent light bulb

Now from memory, write down the seventh item on the list. No cheating! Next, write down the third item, then the 17th item, and finally the 12th item. If you’re not sure, just give your best guess.

How many did you get? None, right? (If you did get one or two right, you’re amazing! You should be a spy. Stop reading this post and call the CIA.)

The truth is, you DO have a photographic memory. You just don’t know it yet.  And since you never believed you could do it, you probably never tried.  And by not trying you have affirmed yourself to be right… that you DON’T have a photographic memory.  But I am here to tell you, that you do.

There’s a method to help you unlock your natural ability to remember things photographically. If you follow this method, you will harness that power by the end of this blog post.

Here is how you do it:

First, you must BELIEVE that it is possible for you to have a photographic memory. More than that, you must BELIEVE that it it’s EASY to have a photographic memory – especially for you.

The trick is, your mind work best with pictures and associations, not repetition. So the first step to your new found photographic memory is to create an association of pictures. Start by memorizing an easy rhyming list of pictures for each number, one through ten. This will be your anchor list. Here’s what I use, and suggest you use the same:

1. Gun
2. Shoe
3. Tree
4. Floor
5. Bee hive
6. Pile of sticks
7. Heaven
8. Skate
9. Slime
10. Hen

Next review the random list of 20 random items below.  Here’s the list I will use as an example for the rest of the exercise:

1. Golden goose egg, 2. Firefly, 3. Paint roller, 4. Diamond ring, 5. Stop sign, 6. Kitchen table, 7. Ticket stub, 8. Leather jacket 9. Ice cream cone, 10. ATM machine, 11. Scalpel, 12. Champagne bottle, 13. Stroller, 14. Couch, 15. Rose bush, 16. Swimsuit, 17. Rotting apple, 18. Candy cane, 19. Cowboy boots, 20. Train

Now, when you look at the first item on the new list (golden goose egg), associate it with the first word from the anchor list (gun). For example, picture a gun shooting out a golden goose egg. Picture it in detail, your arm holding out a gun, smoke rising from the gun, and a golden goose egg shooting out.  The more details, the better. The more color to your mental picture, the better.

Visualize a connection between the second word (firefly) and the corresponding word on your anchor list (shoe).  Picture the firefly trying to carry a shoelace off the shoe. Imagine how hard the firefly is trying, how small the firefly is compared to the shoe, whatever detail you can conjure up to connect the firefly with the shoe.

Before you move on to the third item on the random list of things, recap the first two.  What was the gun shooting? Right, the golden goose egg.  How about the shoe?  What was going on there?  Right a firefly was trying to take off with the shoelace in tow. Then start on the next word. Keep doing this for the first ten items on the list.

Now stack the pictures. When you get to the eleventh item (scalpel), go back to the first image (a gun shooting out the golden goose egg) and add the scalpel to it. For example, you might have a scalpel stuck in the golden goose egg that is shooting out of the gun.  Gross yoke nastiness flying out, just for effect.

Continue to the next object.  For example, the firefly that is trying to pickup the shoe’s shoelace, now has to struggle with one itsy bitsy arm to lift the Champagne bottle he is carrying (Dom Perignon that he bought on sale, of course).  Oh, the horrible life a firefly can lead.   Follow this stacking method for the remaining objects on the list.

Congratulations, you now have a photographic memory! Don’t believe me? Let’s test it out. Use your anchor list to guide you.  I don’t expect you to have the rhyming down just yet, so it’s OK to look at the anchor list of above.

Let’s start with, hmmm, number two.  Two is shoe.  OK, what is happening with the shoe? Right!  The firefly.  OK how about number eight.  Eight is skate, and what did you have going on with the skate?  Excellent!  Now number 11.  OK the anchor for 11 was the gun. Since it is over 10, it is going to be the stacked image… OK, what was going on with the gun.  Yes, the golden egg. And what’s stacked with the egg. YES!  The scalpel. Try it for five, now.  How about 18?  How about ten and then 20?  Damn… You are good. No, no.  You are really good.

Surprised? Did you just achieve the impossible?

You’re welcome. Now email me.

    Pretty pretty pretty good. Will have to work on this anchor list a bit with everything I come across. As I am not sure how to apply this to real life, like remembering names.

  • http://richardmclaughlin.biz/ Richard McLaughlin

    I learned this at a team building exercise. Never got the hang of it because I had a network issue going on and I didn’t get to practice or really learn. I know the 100 or so other people present had no problem with a list of 10 and some made the full 20.

  • Mike Michalowicz

    I learned about this process about a year ago. I have been using it ever since. It is truly amazing. I don’t need to write down shopping lists, or memorize speeches, or anything. I simply do this photographic memory process and it sticks. The only caveat is I need to “review” this list in my head about once every few days for it to stick long term. And I even found a trick for that, by associating the picture of the moment to it… it is a long explanation and I can save that for another post… but suffice it to say, that works too.

    OMG! OMG! OMG! This is incredible. I tried this out early last week and I still have the list memorized:

    1. golden goose egg (and yes there is a scapel in it for #11)
    3. painting roller
    13. stroller
    18. candy cane

    This is so amazing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have sent you an email, Mike.

  • au

    I got 3/5 on the first exercise. =)
    I’ve been using my own kind of visual associations and way of grouping things since elementary school. There were a few other kids (elementary through grad school) who did the same thing in their own ways and I suppose it helped a lot because we’d score higher on exams with much less effort.
    Nice to see the technique being shared with everyone.

  • Angie

    I just started learning this, so I don’t know if it’s excellent or not, but from the comments, I think it is.

  • http://www.meryl.net/blog Meryl K. Evans

    Wow! It worked! Like one person says, it’ll be tough to use in networking situations or times when things fly (firely, scalpel and shoe) at you giving you little time to create a mental picture. Thank you for detailing it! I will keep working on it.

  • Mike Michalowicz

    @Meryl – happy you are using it. When you here peoples names, you can apply pictures too. What I like to do is put them in a mental custom.

    For example I met an Elizabeth Smith (and she told me about her husband Jerry). So what I did was instantly imagined her like Queen Elizabeth, dressed to the nines doing the queen wave. Then I picture her husband (never met him or know what he looks like), as Jerry Stiller… and what has he doing? Black SMITH work.

    I have run into her a couple times and always greet her with a hello and her first name (while in my mind I am picturing the queen), and always ask how Jerry is. She is astonished I remember this… little does she know I have her married to Jerry Stiller the black Smith.

      @Tricia – it works so well it is mind blowing. I mean absolutely mind blowing. Just practice a few times before you depend on it. It would suck going to the super market and forgetting to come home with the Tomato Sauce (or worse yet, without any TP).

    Holy crap! Awesome post Mike. I am going to give this a try. I have always been good with driving directions. If I am in the passenger seat and pay attention, the next day or even a week later I can drive the same new path alone. NO directions, or anything. All just by visual! Yes, I’m bragging! lol

  • http://www.ecstewart.com EC (Lisa) Stewart

    Fun test! I scored all 20!

    I think the trick is to couple an emotional tie or create an atmosphere to remember the images.

    My hen was struggling to get cash from an ATM to ride the train.

    A number of people were on the floor looking for a diamond ring under the couch.

    I had a really cool table whose legs were made of sticks and it was easy to use them as hooks for drying bathing suits.

  • http://www.creatingwords.com Harry Husted

    I tried the imaging exercise and actiually remember everything on that list and in order. Wow. it works. I’ve been trying to find a method to improve my memory.

    Thanks Mike.

    • http://www.ToiletPaperEntrepreneur.com Mike Michalowicz

      @Harry – thrilled it worked for you. One tip is to practice the anchor list often. Obviously it is based on rhyme. But the keep is the visual. So rehearse 1 is gun, 2 is shoe. But make sure you really picture in your mind what the gun, shoe, tree, etc. look like.

      Oh… and it is a day later. Try the list again. I bet you still have it perfectly memorized.

  • http://www.knecnet.net Deb Savage

    I have heard about this and have always thought it would be a great way for nurses to remember names of patients, familiy members, doctors, etc. Also, it would be useful to remember medications, diseases….hmmmm, now that could be fun….I wonder how many diseases I could connect to slime? I’ll work on this and certainly pass it along to the nursing profession!
    Thanks TP Man!

    Hey Mike,
    Really great, I’ve been through word association before but the ryhming numbers are new… will have to parctice a bit for numbers over 10 but i got ten in a heartbeat!

  • http://www.StartAnInternetBusinessNow.com Scott Lovingood

    Great idea for lists. Dale Carnegie courses teach this as well. I learned 30 peoples names in less than an hour and most of them I remember to this day (over 20 years later).

    The ones with more powerful pictures remain the most vivid in your mind. Don’t use normal images. Your example of Queen E is a great one. We even came up with a way to remember our own names so we could give the image to other people when we met them. It never failed to make an impression.

    I just told them to imagine a Large SCOTTish king in a kilt eating like wild and LOVING the GOOD food

    I am terrible with names but when I take a moment to create the visual the name sticks.

    • http://www.ToiletPaperEntrepreneur.com Mike Michalowicz

      @Scott – Dale Carnegie teaches this? I had no idea. He is one of my favorite “guru’s” of all time.

  • http://n/a Rune

    Great post!

    I first heard of this method (and some others like it) a couple of years ago. They work wonderfully!

    Another method, that I like to combine with the one
    you used in this post, is to make a kind of “route”, i.e. through my house, a friends house, trough a familiar neighbourhood, a known public building, etc. In every room (or other places I decide to utilize) I put the things I must remember, together with its appropriate associations. And then “walk through” the route when I need to remember it.

    Again, great post!

  • http://www.SandyWheelerTravel.com Sandy Wheeler

    Good stuff! No wonder you seem to remember everyone’s name and location on the TFM and TPE list. I imagine you have something cute and uplifting that helps you remember my name–right? This will serve me well. People call and want to know about a certain itinerary–like who can remember a seven day itinerarywith hundreds of variations?!?! Maybe now, I can do a better job! As always, you da man!

  • http://creatingrewardingrelationships.blogspot.com/ Kim Leatherdale

    I use a variation where I group the items into a single storyline with pictures. The image helps me remember the item and the story where the item is on the list. The sillier and more interesting the story, the better my memory of the items.

    Thanks for the reminder. Maybe I can teach this to my clients- help them remember what they can do to improve their relationships.

  • http://www.OdysseyMentoring.com Susan Bender Phelps

    I have seen this method before and used it from time-to-time. The real key to using it it is to shut out distractions and take a little time to work it through. Ultimately the time at the beginning saves beaucoup time later on. The more you do it, the faster you get at it.

  • http://www.capsurz.com Mari

    Instead of reading myself to sleep last night, I practiced this strategy. Quite effective for memorizing 30 items plus the anchor set of ten. The visual brain is such a powerful tool.

    My anchor list? Top 10 favorite dogs I know!

  • Joao

    Hey Mike.

    Really awesome technique! ;) Works super great! I remembered the whole list!

    But I’ve got another method that helps me remember of ideas I have when I don’t have a pen and a piece of paper around.

    When something happens and I want to remember it, I usually make a loud weird sound, poke my eye with my finger, or do something else strangely unusual that comes up to my mind at that moment.

    Now that I think of it, It’s very probable that I look like an idiot… Anyway…

    I create an association between the idea and the moment.

    Since the moment is unusual, because I made it be, it’s super easy to remember.

    Later, instead of trying to remember the idea directly, I remember the moment of when I had the idea. Since, the picture you have of the moment is so clear, you can perfectly remember the idea.

    • http://www.ToiletPaperEntrepreneur.com Mike Michalowicz

      Joao – Thanks for the tip. I am going to try it out (minus the poking my eye out part).

    However, with all due respect, it does not a give you a photographic memory =)

    • http://www.ToiletPaperEntrepreneur.com Mike Michalowicz

      @Y.A. – Yes that technique is not my own invention… far from it… it HAS been around since the beginning of man. I think it is an amazing technique, and it does work.

  • kt

    this DID NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WORK now if somebody can tell me how to memorize all the counties and county seats on Mississippi in less than 30 minutes then we’ll be ok.

    • http://www.ToiletPaperEntrepreneur.com Mike Michalowicz

      @KT – That is the advanced training… (the county seats)… but I am surprised that you couldn’t memorized the list using the photographic technique.

  • Fawzia O. Mansoor

    I got all twenty in order! Great technique…but I would like to use it for my studies, so how do you use the anchor words to remember your speeches?

    • Anonymous

      I use the technique in every speech I do. The key is to memorize your speech in story format, link it to a picture and then use the memory technique.

      For example in one presentation I do, I talk about the use of people’s names. The picture in my head is a gun (1 = gun) and I have a price tag hanging off the gun and it has the big words NAMES on it.

    I dont want to be the killjoy but I got swear to u that what you just learned is in no way at all a photographic memory though it might be a great technique to remember thing it is definnetly no a photographic memory. I had a photographic since I was a child and with absolutely no doubt I can promise you that that is not a photographic memory

    • Mike Michalowicz

      Not a killjoy at all. Actually there is a very interesting study/discussion of memory techniques versus photographic memory in the book “Moonwalking with Einstein”. The weird part is that in memory competitions that very few people with natural photographic memory compete and when they do, hardly ever get close to being the memory champ. Not really making a point besides that it is just interesting and I highly recommend the read.

    • Kenzie

      Yeah. I agree. I see memories as if they are really happening. Sometimes I remember about the time I got hit in the head with a baseball, and as I’m remembering it, I duck in real life, forgetting that I am in a memory…

    The method works for memorizing words, but how do you apply it to memorize passages?

    • Alyssa Brown

      try numbering the sentences(or if you’re patient, words) of the passage, and then do the anchor thing.

  • Preet-yin-pink

     i find it easier to remeber lists by making stories in my mind. To be honest i remembered the list correctly before reading your suggestions.  I just used my story method technique, but does this mean i have a photographic memory? i do play out the story in my head and visualize but not dead cleary but enough to remeber things in a certain order if i want.

      This have nothing to do with photographic memory hun.

      • IShawrav

        I think that too. This is more like turning the words into a long term memory by visualizing it. On the other hand, photographic memory is like a camera, you look at it once and you can remember it anytime later on.

      That is fantastic Kristina.  My daughter is 13 and she uses this technique for school too.  A lot of school is memory related stuff, so keep using it.  Also, you can use it to remember word definitions, math problems and more… the techniques are all based upon visuals.  So, master this and do research on the related mnemonic techniques.  I hope you ace all your classes!!!

    This is called the peg-word method. It is a mnemonic device that’s been around for a long time to help in the memorisation of arbitrary lists. Any who’s ever taken any introductory psychology course will know this. Furthermore, this is rarely helpful at all for day-to-day memory demands since memorising arbitrary lists is not something most people need to do, and it only works if the items in the list are visualisable, as not all words are. Maybe it’ll help you memorise your grocery list, but personally I find it significantly easier just to bring the list with me. As many people have already pointed out, this is not related in anyway to having a photographic memory, so yes, the title of this article is misleading, I suggest you change it.

    Hahaha.  Instead of pictures I used video clips in slow motion.  I didn’t exactly obltain photographic memory but it was really odd to see what my brain could congure up.  The dimond was hitting the floor and shattering.  As beautiful as a  scene in a movie.
