In 1993 at the World Memory Championships, Dominic O’Brien recalled 1002
different numbers after studying the list for 30 minutes. This thorough book,

than “natural memory”. Despite such remarkable feats, memory champions sometimes
don’t know how they do it. And they’re no better than the rest of us at
remembering their lives accurately. Published by Taylor and Francis,
