This video is the most comprehensive guide ever to memorizing a deck of shuffled cards.
The basic way to memorize a deck of cards is to create an image for all 52 cards. Here is a way that you might create these images
Hearts = people that you love
Diamonds = rich people
Clubs = sports stars or athletes
Spades = cartoon characters or superheros
If you need help creating the images or people for cards to memorize then get some ideas from the Major System for memorizing numbers. In this Major System for Numbers
1 = t
2 = n
3 = m
4 = R
5 = L
6 = J
7 = K or C
8 = F or PH
9 = P or B
0 = S
So for the 8 of Diamonds think of someone rich that their name starts with F
For 3 of hearts think of someone that you love and their names starts with M.
For the 9 of Clubs think of a sports star or singer who has a P in their name.
For the 2 of Diamonds think of a rich person whose name starts with an N
If you do this you could memorize a deck of cards using 52 images and the Mind Palace or Memory Palace technique.
If you want to speed up the process and advance to the next level of how to memorize a deck of cards you will want to use the method known as Person Action Object or also known as Character Action Object.
In this method for each card you have a person, and action and an object.
You memorize cards in groups of 3 and this really speeds up the process.
If you are looking for memory training tips or memory tricks I do believe that this is the absolute best method for memory training.
Learn how to do this memory trick and impress your friends.

Do you use additional techniques when you are first trying to memorize each of your associations to each card? Did you originally write them down etc?
Should a beginner practice the single card per piece of furniture way first? Then move to the 3 cards?
I can now remember 3 cards
Good
Congratulations!

Every journy begins with a step
I can now remember 52 cards
OMG I've been trying to memorize a deck of cards for a long time, couldn't find a good tutorial this one really helped, thanks!
Let me know how it works for you

Great technique great tutorial, now I have remembered 100 PAO for numbers, 52 PAO for a deck of card and many big memory palaces and I'm on my way to remember al lot of number and about 10 deck of card, Thanks, Ron for changing my non-managed memory to a magnetic memory.
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10
The real struggle is to find 13 people you love.

Ok. I watched this video 2 years later but it was the best video about memorizing cards on youtube. You are shockingly amazing Ron. Thank you.
Deep Work readers ;)
I am reading that book now... this is really interesting... be strong and courageous
I am talked about in that book
@@Brainathlete I know! I'm brazilian and read the book because it was listed by Thomas Frank, the youtuber, as one of his favorites. I recognize you from your channel, that I follow as well. Your advice for forgot bad memories really helped me with traumatic stuff, and as a historian, the memory palace is a good tool. Thank you
I seen you were mentioned in the book, so right after reading, I saw you made a video and looked no further 🤣
YES ME ME ME!
Just finished my PAO after watching this video:
Clubs --------------LOL champions
Spades -----------Smash Bros. characters
Hearts ----------- Family
Diamonds ------Stars/Mentors/Celebrities
This is gonna be epic.
This is super late but I also use spades as Smash Bros. characters xD
While I was watching this video I was thinking I was gonna use smash bros characters and then I saw your comment!!! So cool someone thought the same thing as me!!
@@Serennekin Smash Bros characters are pretty memorable after all :3 I use Persona 5 characters for hearts, Pokemon for clubs, and Battle for BFDI for diamonds.
@sparkles I'm even later, 8 months.
Ron , im an old stage wizard from the 15th century and retired from substitution trunks, now into close up magic and cards . learning mnemonica stack and just amazed at guys like you . Can't remember the other guy that currently does the 52 card memory right now, hell sometimes i cant remember why i went into the bathroom. lol😂. great work.
Haha thank you that’s great thank you
@@Brainathlete that comment was a month ago. Just about got mnemonica down.. takes some work but I've combined several methods. JACK wrote a POEM to JETTY .. the HAIR on the COMB is in the HAT . the SOUR GUM in the TIN is a PEAR .. 😆 🤣
Thank you so much. I can remember 52 cards. Amazing!!!
Getting back into cards these last couple weeks, shout out to a legend
You go! You got this!
@Brainathlete Thanks! I would have never heard about card memorization if it weren't for you and a few other guys. I've never competed and only do cards. 1000 digit numbers, names and faces, they baffle me, especially numbers, hats off to competitiors, you guys are doing way more mental gymnastics then me. I appreciate the reply

great image
damn, I checked this video and start practicing straight away. Now after 4 hours into that I was able to memorize 39 out of 39 cards. Also had lots of laugh with some of combinations. Thanx Ron for this video and sharing the knowledge !
I am so glad to hear about your success. I look forward to your post when you say it will be 52 out of 52
@@Brainathlete Hi Ron,
2 days ago it was first time I tried to memorize whole pack of 52 and nailed it in 13 min. ! Since I saw first time your video I was practicing around 1h a day. I am still amazed how adjustable our brains are and fact we can exercise them same like our bodies.
Your reply to my comment was so motivating. "Fastest person replied to ME ?? " - i felt honored and motivated to not let you disappointed. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and reply !
Awe you sound like such a genuine and smart person! Keep going ❤
@@user-uy7vw6iv2k What technique did you use PAO or te first one?
Ha, ha! Johnny Cash as the Jack of Clubs! Super cool. Great video. I've actually started improving lately after taking a more critical look at the cards that I was not all that fast with. I did 1:38 the other day on Memocamp.
Cool! What would you recommend to get from 4 to 2 minutes?
There's really no shortcut. Just practice every day. Work on recognizing your card images faster and faster, even if you're not memorizing them. For any images that seem to not come quite as quickly for you, replace them with images that are more memorable. I recently replaced about six of my images of people with objects that were more unique, and that seemed to help. Then, when memorizing, just keep making yourself go through the deck faster than you think you can, and learn to trust your brain to remember. Software like Memocamp or Memory League really help. It may help to do smaller amounts of cards, and work on making them faster, e.g., try to memorize 13 cards in 30 seconds, then work on 26 cards in 1 minute, etc. Oh, and listen to all of Ron's videos.

thanks so much sharing this wonderful concept of playing cards memorizing. God bless you and your family
After few hour of practice i was able to memorize 52 card in approx 10 min but did got i got two card wrong. Thats was my personal best. Its really fun to learn new stuff
Here's what I use
A: A
2: N
3: M
4: R
5: L
6: Ch
7: C
8: F o V
9: P o B
10: S
J: J
Q: Q
K: K
Clubs: T
Spades: S
Hearts: C
Diamonds: D
So 7 of hearts is CoConut for example
9 of clubs is BaT
Then, I imagine 2 images per file, so that's 26 files at my home
I was too lazy to learn PAO :v
Same
But isn't it risky to use K,Q and C on different objects? Or same for S.
@@patrickjane7796 it depends, you can define images for every pair and stick to them, this is easier for me because I have already a letter pair list for memorizing rubik's cubes for BLD
Nice vid. I had no intention of memorizing a deck of cards, but you made a very interesting video so I decided to watch the whole thing anyways.
Congratulations for 200k subscribers
Thank you for noticing! I was very happy about this! Maybe 250,000 by January 1st. Thank you for your comment!
I use Harry Lorayne's method. Pegwords for numbers 1-52 based on the number system, and a second set of pegs for the cards based partly on the number system and partly on the name of the suit.
he is awesome. Did you see my interview with harry lorayne here th-cam.com/video/ecnWKqV3o6U/w-d-xo.html
Watching it now and subscribing. Thanks.
So well explained. I m giving it a go. Heather from Cardiff Wales
Awesome Ron. I’ll try it. I have tried in the past but will give it another try.
go for it! You can do it
Dude this was great, I subbed!
PAO sounds awesome, gonna try that instead of 52 places in my apartment. 🙂
Was going to try the same after reading Deep Work but now I’m gonna use this
Thanks Ron. This is so cool. I'm well impressed. I'm going to give this a try. My pack of cards is coming on Monday
Have fun!
@@Brainathlete Hi. Did you get my message from a day ago?
Just watched this video
Gonna try this now
Hope I learned something
Clubs : LoL Champions
Spade: ML heroes
Hearts: Family
Diamond: Billionaires
Gonna update tomorrow or later
Scheming Guy good luck, don't give up! :D
You're by far the best at teaching this stuff that I've come across -- fantastic job! Liked and subbed!
Thank Ron. This video has really helped me

Thanks sir for your effort and sharing the most valuable tricks.. great support from 🇮🇳
great video, thanks for speaking so clear for non americans!
I appreciate you saying that! some people make fun of how I talk so thank you!! hahaha
@@Brainathlete i appreciate this. I learnt british English. American is hard for me. Good channel. Greetings.
Ron. What is the best way to reuse a memory palace that you’ve already used? In other words, is there a way to clear prior objects placed in a mind palace?
I'm not a advanced memory athlete or a professional in anyway, but I have an Idea: How about, on each "palace" you put something distinct about it. For example: If you wanted to memorize digits of pi, put a big pie on top of your memory palace. If you were memorizing a deck of cards, put a big pile of cards stacking up on your memory palace. Those are just 2 ideas. I'm only 12 years old, so I don't expect you to take this seriously.
EthanPlayz thanks for the ideas. I actually found a way that seems to be working for me: I’ve created more memory palaces. For example, I recently had Jury Duty, so created a memory palace of a court room. I used the jury box to remember my jury ID, a phone on the judges bench to remember the phone number, etc. it worked great! I think the hard work is to establish an alphanumeric system first, then use it in a memory palace. It’s really rewarding when it all comes together and I actually remembered all my jury info. It also came in handy when I filled out the forms. I didn’t need to pull out my paperwork. I just went to my court room memory palace to get the info I needed. Pretty amazing!
@@lpgrunt I use the journey method for rubik's cube memorization, and having a number of buildings or "journeys" that you rotate through helps. So when you first do a deck, use your house. Then for the next deck use your road to work, then your workplace, etc. By the time you get back to using your house, you will have forgotten the previous objects placed there. If you want to memorize something long-term that is unchanging (for example, the digits of pi), use a unique journey method that you do not use for anything else. This way it can stay dedicated to pi and won't be confused with anything else.
I know i am very late to this but i found this app named SketchUp that allows you to build houses or any buildings really. I don't know if you can "clear up" your memory palace but you could always build a new one for another subject you want to memorize.
Keep going Ron 👍...You are awesome!👌 Thank you for your wonderful tips 😊
We have lots more videos coming soon. thank you for the comment!
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Great presentation
Thank you so much
Question:
Should my house look normal and I‘m connecting the first object to a scene, for example Michael J cooking in fire on my couch but in a different location
or should I imagine him cooking on my couch while burning?
Hello. I have been following your guidance n videos since past 2-3 weeks. And the techniques you taught are very helpful. I started applying them.
I had one doubt.
Suppose I am practicing to remember the deck of cards since 5-6 months and I have experimented 300-400 times the sequence of deck of cards. And I am using the same memory palace to place information. Now how to forget the previous one and remember the new one? How to differentiate between all the 300 images placed on the same peg?
For me, it’s sort of a mental thing. If I imagine my house burning down along with all of the images, it helps me forget.
Great video thanks. I can easily imagine somebody moonwalking etc. but the problem I've got is associating furniture with it etc. So for example, how could you make somebody moonwalk, if the step on your journey is a sink or small object etc??? If it was a large table, that would be much easier.
Hahahaha your video and background is so cool and funny. Okay back to focus on the cards.
Thank you
I'm trying to find a method to remember cards held in people hands in a game, suits are not important in this case. Exemple : Person 2 has 2 and 5, Person 6 has 2 and Jack
In this case I guess it's like the Persons playing are the furnitures in the mind palace?
I just attach each number ( 1 to 52 ) with a famous person or something that makes sense with that number. For example number 23 is Michael Jordan, Number 21 is the legal drinking age, Then I assign a card to each of my memorized 52 people/things.
Michael Jordan is….
Drinking age is …..
My birthday is….
That works
What about number 10?
Person + Action + Object == Genius
Thank you . I like your explanation .
Glad it helped
Gonna start today. Hopefully i can do it in a month.
Wow, just done memorizing a deck of cards in around 12 minutes time.
Hey Ron, Thanks for your video and for familiarising me with PAO method.
There are 52 cards in a deck. After memorizing each group of 3 cards using PAO system, how do you memorize the order of 17 groups?
What if I can't imagine the room?
I can't imagine anything
Thank for sharing frist i listen it was tough then i studied some basics then i feel easy
This is so cool!, thank you for sharing!
Great video! Thanks Ron!
Thanks for watching!
He got a like from me as soon as he started singing Johnny Cash
I've been using the 'Memory Palace' technique for many years and it has served me well. One of the things I struggle with the most is trying to imagine things that would require a large area taking place in a small area such as the bathroom etc. This has been a problem for many years. I can't for the life of me imagine Tiger Woods swinging a club without hitting the walls or bath etc. I really need some help on this.
if you need to imagine tiger woods swining a gold club just image a golf club swinging it'self.you will automatically remember the tiger woods part
@@Brainathlete Thanks, I like that. But, I seem to have a problem with putting big things in a small area. How could I imagine a car crashing in the bathroom when the car is bigger than the bathroom??? It's like I'm afraid of making things seem impossible???
@@cosmikdebris6055 none of his examples fit inside small spaces. Johnny cash cooking on stage doesn't fit on "lamp". Have you tried breaking your attachment to full 3D simulation by using 2D pictures on your 3D mind palace?
@@lukespooner4 Thanks for the reply. I'll have to think about that one???
Ehi man you have no idea how nice was this video! Thank you so so much.. awesome video!
Love your videos, thank you!!
Keep going you are one of my ideal person love you ❤
So nice! Thank you!
Great tutorial! I seem to be having some trouble assigning my card it’s person. How do I go about remembering each card? In the first place. It seems difficult to remember in order to remember
Oh my, this is an awesome tutorial, thanks a lot Sir, that really got me motivated!!!!🙏🔥
I´m struggling to find 13 people that I love 😕
Starting from now
Great
"One Piece At A Time" would make a better PAO than "Ring of Fire" The action would be stealing pieces off of an assembly line to build the object, and the object would be the Psychobilly Cadillac. Likewise instead of a stage, Michael Jackson could be moonwalking in Neverland Ranch. Mom stealing from an assembly line to build an amusement park, or MJ cooking the weird car would be VERY easy images to remember.
Works, but it takes me about 3 hours to memorize a deck. Not in danger of breaking the world's record yet. Watch tv at the same time so not using real good concentration. Use mostly aminals for associations.
Messi cooking in White House :O
It's the method of loci (the first one).
Never tried it. I assume it takes months of training to get anywhere, and I just have no use for that.
You could use the method of loci for many things that apply to what you want to learn and it doesn't take much time to learn
I used it to memorize the structure of 15 different types of essays for an exam when i was in 8th grade. It's really not that complicated and rather fun. I still remember them to this day. You just have to find what works for you and practice a little. Good luck!
This is very helpful video tutorial. What do you think, how long does it take for a beginner to memorize the whole deck at the beginning (5,10 minutes or an hour)? Thanks in advance.
Hi Ron. Question: I can't seem to get below 15 minutes without sacrificing accuracy. Any advice? Do you suggest 1) ignoring time, getting the recall perfect, then trying to reduce time, or 2) maintaining a shorter time, ignoring the accuracy, and then trying to improve on the accuracy?
Try both methods.
Both methods work, but usually when you throw yourself at something and you don’t succeed, you eventually adapt to overcome it.
Do you use additional techniques when you are first trying to memorize each of your associations to each card? Did you originally write them down etc?
Very useful video
Sir, whenever I play cards game
So ' in the games' sometimes I throw any cards on the table for not use(part of game)
So I have to learn, how can i memorize Aur remember those cards
Many thanks, keep up the good work
Hi! Great video btw! Do you have any tips for memorizing inorganic reactions in chemistry?
Deep Work
my question would be how do you remember the cards in order of they are getting out of the deck, and how useful it is to know what cards are already in the table and be ready to bet big.
Victor De la Cruz Matos
Ok so for this you set up a path through your memory palace. Let's say your memory palace is your house:
the first card, you put in the door to your house, the second card you put in the first room of your house etc.
so there is an order: You always start at your door, and it always is the same path, and so you can see the order of the cards. The card in your front door is always going to be the first one etc.
I use pegs based on the major number system. For example 13's peg is "time" (1=t, 3=m) and its image is a clock. The ace of spades is "suit" (s=first letter of spade, t= 1), so if I picture a suit hanging from a clock, I know the ace of spades is 13th in the deck. It's the system used in Harry Lorayne's books. With number pegs it's very easy to show off. You hand someone a deck of cards and ask them to name a card. Immediately you tell them where it is in the deck.
excellent video that explains it all Nothing more needed
THank you that means a lot!
Superb. Succinct, clear, thank you!
Thank you Neil!
Thank you for that very informative explanation.
What happens to the memory palace every time you shuffle the cards? Do you need new locations or you can use the same ones?
Yes you can
I do not want to memorize a deck a of cards but a pagraph of a book. word to word
Person, object, action
This is the key
i am currently reading unlimited memory book by Kevin horsely
this one is v good sir,
I am glad that you like it!
Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I'm trying to remember cards played during a game of whist. Is it bad technique to try to bunch 4 things together instead of 3?
Whats the sound associated with the number 10?....
I think you combine the Ta & Sa to make a word like TOSS (t & s= 1+ 0) I may be wrong tho!
I don't understand one thing. Once you create your mental images using 3 card sequences and assign them to various object in the mental palace, how do you remember what image was associated with a particular object? There should be a way to associate the images in a sequence, maybe creating a story.
I like to be helpful and I have quite a bit of experience with trying to remember things although it takes me far longer than it should. I think you need to imagine the sequence as if it's real. It's like you can almost see it in your mind's eye. I can see that this will get easier with lots of practice over time. But, I'm with you regarding overcoming difficulties.
Thank you you are super
I sweaaar..he is awwwwesom!!!!
THE BASEBALL SOUND SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME
It didnt even sound like a baseball
Best technique
4:49 absolutely shit myself XD
Hi Ron. I can remember all of the picture cards and the aces after shuffling but how do you remember the 6 of Spades, 7 of Hearts and 2 of Clubs using the P.A.O system? I'm stuck!!
Stevie Wonder, Roller Blading, in the Hallway = Thank You!
Think you very much, you help me a lot. , 😍😊😄 , you are agreed men
I am happy to hear this
Hello. I'm not sure this methodology works for everyone, as no two brains actually work alike. At the age of 59, my record is 70 cards, but I am very slow and that took me about 25 minutes total. Also, I am very inconsistent with my overall results. I even tried adding both an action and an emotion for each card, but that only made my results worse than previously. Any tips? Thank you.
You could use rider waite smith tarot
hmmmm
If only you can memorize how to spell memorize……… just kidding, great video man.
4:45 bro that scared the absolute shit out of me
I am from Brasil and men you are awesome, thank you for the content
thanks , so to get faster you jaut have to practice again and again ?? i m memory athlete
I have tried it before, only memorized 2 cards
After you've used your mind palace a bunch of times, do you ever have old memories that interfere?
They get overwritten. If they persist they are recognized as older by your brain. You'll know.
Could you send me the link to where you got that wicked cool shirt?
pretty awesome!
