How to Memorize ANY Number - Remember Long Numbers

Remember any number using this memorization technique from "The Memory Book", by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas. This is something I learned from an early hardcover edition of the book several years ago. I've never forgotten the system, and have used it to set bank account numbers and phone numbers into memory.
Think of each number as a consonant SOUND, using this chart:
1 = T, D
2 = N
3 = M
4 = R
5 = L
6 = J, SH, CH, soft G
7 = K, Hard C, Hard G
8 = F, V, PH
9 = P, B
0 = Z, S, Soft C
Commit the above 10 number/sound associations to memory.
VOWELS (A,E,I,O,U) have no numerical value, and go between the consonants to form the word.
The letters W, H, and Y are treated the same as vowels (except when H follows certain consonants, like "SH", "CH", or "PH".).
Example: The number 7394 can be remembered with the word "camper".
Explanation: 7 = Hard C, 3 = M, 9 = P, 4 = R, and vowels go between. "Kimber" is an alternative word for the same set of numbers.

Now that's super kind right there!
@@TheCrafsMan accurate tho
Crafsman sound'n like pouring molasses into a tall glass of sweet tea.
@@TheCrafsMan My 4 year old and my husband and I love watching your show. You are so very talented. my question to you is have you ever thought of doing a sleep podcast? Nothing compares to your voice, you're a modern day Bob Ross! Thank you for your commitment to steady craftin!
It's true, his voice is amazing
I used this trick in the 9th grade to memorize 60 numbers of pi for a contest. However, I forgot to write the 1 in 3.14_59, so according to my math teacher, I only got three numbers, despite getting the remaining 56 numbers correct. So the runner up won, and she only got ten numbers memorized. I'm still mad about it to this day.
DANG! That's still impressive!
That's crazy! Do you still remember the sentence you made?
@@sujatara Ha, no, it was 13 years ago.
Well, if it still bugs you, maybe just take some time to learn a hundred digits and this time you won't forget the 1, so you can finally have some peace of mind. Or just focus on how you helped the runner up to have one of the best days of her life. We all know you had the trick down pat anyway.
It really do be like that.
Stay strong, friend.
Welllllll, snap! I underestimated this video's discombogulation potential. My bad, y'all! The next video will not have numbers all up in it, or the need to memorize things! Y'all keep hangin' in there with me as I try to figure out how to do TH-cam videos.
Don't sweat it, Crafsman! It's a good system. I thought it was really interesting.
actually I would love more stuff like this once in a while
I thought this was an awesome video! I'm glad you shared it!
For every one person who don't dig what the CrafsMan got goin on, it's five people who love what the CrafsMan got goin on! Keep steady craftin; I loved this video!
Please ignore the whiney attention seekers. Your videos are the BEST!! This is an outstanding video! Most of the complainers are just jealous. Just let them give you credit for the interaction, roll your eyes, and ignore. Whiney complainers gonna complain no matter what. Every channel has them.
I’ve never met you, but I feel like you’re a kind of friend to me. Thank you for your creativity and your videos and I look forward to using this technique in the future. It’s a really cool shortcut to easy memorization. Thanks Crafsman :) you rock!
Hey Michael! I am a friend to you! I hope you use and enjoy some of the techniques in these videos. I appreciate your support a lot!
Crafsman uploads and i drop whatever I am doing, school work, work work, sleep, don't matter we have to get steady crafffftttin
Same here , my phone notified me and I wrecked my truck into a lake. However while it was filling with water, I did watch the video and learn not to trust tables.
i think i found o.g. tingles long lost brother,, this is my new favorite channel 👌😷
:D Thank you so much!
This would be a crossover from heaven, y’all.
OMgosh!! DR.T watches the Crafsman??!! Word 😎
Tingles is the black sheep of the family.
I always read the comments in the Craftsman voice.

All men we should take lessons from.
I absolutely agree!♡♡♡
the voices tho
Oh my! CrafsMan, my dad had the same book. Now I know how he could remember so much stuff including numbers:) Loved the video... Miss my dad...:( PEACE:)
Peace
Sorry for your loss, Christopher! It sounds like you carry nice memories of your dad, and that's a good gift. :)
@@TheCrafsMan You made my day brother! PEACE:)
This is excellent, and a great share, it reminds me of The Sound of music a bit, though i know it is not the same method:
Doe, a deer, a female deer
(Re!) ray, a drop of golden sun
(Mi!) me, a name I call myself
(Fa!) far, a long, long way to run
(So!) sew, a needle pulling thread
(La!) la, a note to follow so
(Ti!) tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to do oh oh oh
Thank you very much for sharing us something that is so useful to you!
any sequence of 2-4 is gonna be narry to me forever
Every narry one.
LOL! I was gonna mention "Nero", but I just never was too big a fan of his.
@@TheCrafsMan You and Paul!
CrafsMan I love the mystery behind you, but I get a feeling you're a retired teacher or engineer.
I've been thinking the same thing.
Not even two minutes in and my "believe hat" is already on 🤠
I think that sponsor just parachuted in from the 1980s.
Crafsman, I sho would love some more Frog and Toad. Jussayin.
Thank You! Our friend forgot to put a reading on his calendar. :o))
Oh Man...I LOVE THE HANDS! You are one TALENTED CrafsMan...I feel like you'd be Mr. Rogers Neighbor down a block from Sesame Street. Sandwiched in between Bob Ross and Mr. Wizard., with Julia Child Cooking Saturday Morning Cartoon Breakfast! By far the BEST. You inspire me to want to CREATE and do more VIDEOS. I guess the Secret is, Just Do It! Keep Em Coming CrafsMan!
Any tips on how to do life a little better, I'll take...
Do at least one thing each day that makes you smile. If you can't manage that, give someone else your smile.
A smile is a parasympathetic emotion. The muscles that move your face into a smile trigger the emotions that make you smile.
Now I don't mean a fake cheesy grin, but a genuine smile. Smile at someone else, they'll normally smile back automatically, triggering a little bit of happy for them. You also get a little bit of happy from your smile as well as the reinforcement from their smile.
Not saying this will fix your life, but a day with an extra smile in it, is a better day for anyone.
What Maxx is saying is true. I've thought about doing videos on "happiness" before, as I deal with low mood and depression regularly. The "Facial Feedback Hypothoses" (maybe I said that right) is this deal where you smile with your mouth AND eyes - genuinely - and your body releases some of the chemicals that would normally cause you to smile. It's like a reverse effect. You can't (easily) turn on a switch and be happy, but you CAN control your smile, instantly, and that has some bearing on how you feel.
We might could also get into amino acids and things (I take L-Tyrosine, for example) that are neurotransmitter precursors... which you're making available to your body so that it can manufacture some of the things you need, like dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, etc. I've got a neuroscientist friend who has been educating me on this for a while now. Fascinating topic! I've never done a video on it because depression and anxiety can be really touchy subjects for some people. :/
@@TheCrafsManIf you draw a smiley face with your finger on a blank wall you will smile even though you can not see it and every time you pass that wall you will see a smiley face & smile. If anyone witness you doing it they will smile to & when they pass they will smile. If you believe in Karma a smile is worth passing around. I believe you do this in every video you put out. You help me to be happy, thank you! 💕 The "smile" works, even when talking on the phone.
Try to get out into nature, if you can. If you can have a pet, excellent! Best is walking your dog in nature.
Best of luck !
Happiness is a choice we make at every moment. Being grateful for what we have, water, food, hands that function, eyes that see, everything great and small.. rather than worrying over things we want. Embracing every challenge as a new adventure and taking it on, rather than as an obstacle we choose not to overcome. I could go on, but I wont. Just remember... it all begins with you choosing, then step by step, making it happen.
memorize numbers by memorizing a cipher, then transcribing that number through the cipher into a word that you have to memorize. then cipher the word back into numbers.
sorry, crafsman. love ya, but my brain does _not_ work like that.
Yay! Another video from one of the most wholesome TH-camrs along with Timothy Birmingham and Juanelo1946! Love the videos, keep it up!

Hey Crafsman just wanted to say I absolutely loved this episode. I think it's idea wonderful and great variation to have these sort of "informativational" videos interspersed amongst your crafts videos. I'll definitely try and use this to learn a few phone numbers. Thanks a lot!
Your friend, Wade Johnson.
Hello crafsman, never click so fast like this before
Incredibly fascinating information. This channel should just be called Crafsman SteadyWholesum.
There's a number I need to remember and I was like "huh I'll guess I'll try this what's the harm" and I screamed because it worked. Now all i gotta do is remember Tupper sock niche and I'll use this forever.
THERE YOU GO! :D LOL! Thank you for watching!
Cellphone made memorizing almost obsolete, I used to have all numbers memorized, had a knack for it I guess. Laziness or getting older creeped up and stole that knack. This will really come in handy, thanks Crafsman!

L O L ! ! ! ! ! Great example, Bobby! And you're right - technology has allowed us to dial back our brain usage.
Another thing that frustrates me is how EASY it is to look up anything. Used to have to plunder through encyclopedias. :)
1st things 1st. Hello Crafsman:-) hope you're doing great! :-) My mom taught me how to spell sorta like that. She would take the hard words and tell a short story using each letter. Like your "tables not my Fred nary" an unforgettable even stupid story. eg. "Metamorphosis" = met a mor pho sis= met a more 4 sisters. "Tropical"= Toads Run On Ponds I Carry A Lazy tadpole" But it's like you said it still takes a bit of practice, knowing where & when to drop or add #'s & ltrs. But once you've got your little formula pocketed it will never fail you. Take care and be blessed this Easter brother!
Thank you so much! :D I enjoyed your comment. One thing that stuck out to me from learning to use memorization techniques is this: "Anything you do to help you remember something, will help you remember something." It's an interesting concept, but has held true for me. Like you said, the silly story/phrase/etc. makes it stick! :)
Not the telemarketers and fraternal order of police! Lol! I lost focus from laughing so hard.
CrafsMan? More like RenaissanceMan 💙 Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Crafts is the new Renaissance.
Good evening everyone, 💕💕💕 always teaching us something cool...Craftman🤗
When I was taught this, we called it the “body list” going from our toes to the ceiling:
1: Toes - T/D
2: Knees - N
3: “muscles” of your legs - M
4: rear - R
5: Love handles - L
6: Shoulders - Sh/Ch/J
7: Collar - K/G
8: Face - F/V
9: Point (on the top of your head): P/B
0: Ceiling - S/Z
We used these for scripture references and I still remember verses from over 10 years ago because of tricks like this.
Your video on this is my favorite demonstration of it though! As always your channel is the only one I have notifications enabled for. I appreciate the time, energy, and personality you pour into your videos!
Chris, thank you for this! VISUALS help memories stick, so tying numbers to images goes a long way. And not just numbers, but anything. There are things from 5th grade I can't forget if I wanted to, because I used silly images to remember them. This is before I got "The Memory Book", but I guess it's why that book made so much sense to me - because my mind works in a silly way. :)
That's an amazing mnemonic! Thanks for sharing
I was literally just watching one of your videos when the notification popped up for this. What a pleasant surprise before I go to bed
I wish TH-cam had a Love option. It doesn't, so I'll I can do is like CrafsMan's videos.
Very entertaining and informative. I think I figured out your style. It’s the best friend showin you how to do stuff style. Very great video as always. Thank you Crafsman.
I got in trouble at school when I was about 8 years old - teacher asked me to bang out the chalk dust from the eraser on the wall and when he came back wondering why I had taken so long he found I'd written 'PUNK' in giant letters on the rough brick wall. He was really cross with me!
LOL! Funny to read that, John! And it sounds like you could have taken a picture of that for an album cover. :)
I love how his name is Your Host The Craft Man
If you use 'Narry', you might think there's N(2) 4's though, Crafsman!
Crafsman that’s so genius !
Thank you for showing me this wonderful trick that I sure will use in everyday life.
Books on cassette!
That'd be really nice to have.
To memorize something, we need to memorize something else. It looks hard but will be very helpful once we learnt it.
Books on cassette... Listening in your walkman... You crack me up CM!
🤔 Hmm- by any chance, might it help also applying the “phonetic alphabet” to this? Or might this just needlessly “complicate” things?
Well, that's just neater than grits! Thanks for opening our minds to a new trick!
Man, cassette tapes are no joke. You can buy entire book series or artist discography, run them through an MP3 converter, and then carry your entire library around in your pocket for a few dollars. Let's see Audible beat that deal.
Oh snap that's a nice little Casio you got there crafsman!
carelessflounder The VL Tone! You were a cool kid if you had one of those in your school bag.
To remember the number I would take the paper you wrote it on and put it in my pocket. Aight.
Has anyone seen my brain? I lost it somewhere around here 3:47.
HAHAHA! Nawwww, man! You got it!

I didn’t know this was your video by the thumbnail. I would have watched it when it came out if I had. I will watch anything the The Crafsman posts!
As someone who has just started entering the scary adult world of memorizing important numbers like bank routing, social security, etc. This method is awesome. My favorite part about your content is how I learn a new skill set every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks again!
The 3 people that down thumbed this should be ashamed
I have never heard of this method. I have a history of being terrible with numbers and while I am not dyslexic with words, I do get numbers turned around in my head. (They call this condition Dyscalculia.) I am actually very good with words, so using words to remember numbers might do the trick for me. Thus, it is helpful to know such a technique exists. Thank you for your time and care in presenting this to us, Crafsy. As always, I send kind regards and good vibes to you and Crafsma.
This a really cool method. Thank you.
Numzi is an app that can help you convert numbers into phrases. Btw, I got that same keyboard for Christmas back in 1986.
"So I can get my telemarketers"...lol...love this!
Very interesting! Most of the letters you pronounced the way they are pronounced in Croatian. I guess you would be good in Croatian 😁 and I'm glad someone else keeps landline for the same reason 😂
I like this but uhm I came up with a different N word than Narry that worked for me - thanks !
JUST IN TIME TO GET COZY IN BED 💓💓 *thanks CRAFTMAN!*
CHECK MATE! :D Thanks for watching!
This is why I love the Crafsman - it's always something different! He keeps me steady craftin.
You can tell anything Crafsman makes, he makes with love, Thanks for not only doing crafts I loved this info
Hey crafsman, please don’t mind the criticism. Your a genuine gift to TH-cam and I look forward to all your videos. I’m dealing with a really bad depression right now and your content is a very relaxing and comforting escape from it for awhile. You just be yourself. Not to mention you have way more comments supporting this video that disliking it. I know it can be easy to focus in on the negativity. But look at all the wonderful support you’ve received just for being yourself and sharing something you thought was interesting ^.^
You start getting that math stress and craftsman brings it all back to chill with Leroy Brown (best man in the whole town). No seriously though, good vid - too bad it wasn’t 242 , you could have done “tables not my friend now” 😹
Tony Buzan takes this method further by making a grid with them numbers on the X and Y axis.
You can then remember 100 things in order.
Then he makes a next grid and then you can store 100 grids of 100 items.
He calls it SEMM3, You should check it out!
By the way.
When you use this method it is best to let your imagination run wild.
So with the example shown, you would want to imagine many giant tables all around the place.
Then on each table is a big sign saying "NOT MY" and a picture of yourself in a red circle with a line thu it.
Then one one table at the back are two guys you know playing cards. Fred and Narry . Fred waves you over for a game and Narry points to the sign and remarks "Not his table"
With more time you can make a better version but as he said it was on the fly...
I woulda.... Tables - Note - Mother - Dinner
Oh yeah, I got that Jim Croce reference!
Good stuff!
;) Glad somebody did! Thanks for watching, Andy!
@@TheCrafsMan He bad, bad, leroy brown...love Jim Croce! Such an illustrative songwriter.
I used to have this book. Gave it away because I kept forgetting to read it. No lie.
L O L ! ! ! ! !
My simple solution, pen and paper
Finally I can remeber my credit card number so I can say it on the fly, watch...
U thought
God of Pizza bet you can’t remember the expiration date and the security code

Gottem
Your subtle humor cracks me up. "Baddest man in the whole, uh... the whole town ya know" ... "that way I can get my phone calls from the telemarketers and fraternal order of police" lol
I have a landline only for the purpose of my fax machine, in case the cell towers have a failure, and for telemarketers to receive nothing but an automated response. I never answer that phone.
I never stop learning from The Crafsman
I just started dabbling in mold and figure making. I'm pretty impatient when it comes to art so I'm always hopping between projects - painting to molding to cake decorating to stenciling, etc. I go on TH-cam, start watching videos and the TH-cam algorithm does its thing; its awful bad thing of suggesting dumb videos/channels. I feel like that algorithm finally pointed me in the right direction; I subscribed a few days ago and you're already one of my favorite channels ever, not just art-related, but overall. Keep up the awesome job sir.
No matter what everyone says this video was great crafsman! Post what ya heart yells you. Ya smart and creative. I like seein both :)
Make this a series!!! and call it Mind Crafts!
I know you were talking about memorizing or some such,. but all I "heard" was. "how long has it been since you had a Fireball? Just look at 'em laying all around here." And then something about a "piece of cake." What! No vowels! What about folks living in the country with a zip code like, I dunno, EIEIO? I seem to have a vague memory of that book, thanks Crafsman!
You’re a good man Mr. Crafsman. I can’t tell you enough how I enjoy your personality.
This video: to memorise a long number make a long phrase
Next video: how to menorise a long phrase
I have used this system since 1995 to memorise tens of thousands of numbers of varying lengths. (Not all at once!) I, too, learned the system from Harry Lorayne. I'm sad that he's no longer with us.
I will say this. This system as presented is incomplete. How so? The consonants h, y and w have been left aside left to languish. This is a real shame because they can be used. I have assigned h and y to the number 6 and w to the number 8. This opens up thousands of extra words that can help you to remember numbers. It gives much more flexibility. For instance, 658 could be hollow, shallow or yellow and not just shelf or shelve. 858 could be follow, fellow wallow, well off etc. Without 8 as w, what can you make? Valve and fluff. 767 could be kayak. 761 could be coyote or cahoot. 65 could be holy, hole, hello, hail, halo, Yale, yell, etc. 66 could be yoyo or haha or Hey, you! rather than just judge or shush. 87 could be week, wick, wack, woke, wok., we go etc. 857 could be walk, whelk, we like etc. 758 could be glow, claw rather than just cliff and glove. Th as 1 is also super useful as there are many words with th in them. I don't remember Harry talking much about th as 1in the Memory Power system but I see he refers to it in the book you show. 814 could be weather, feather, father etc. 1 as 'the', it, they, 10 as this or these or it's is likewise super useful.
Anyway, I have learned by application that including these extra consonant sounds gives you access to all the (real) pronouns in the English language - you (6), we (8), he (6), him (63), her (64), they (1) them (13). So, 6821in series could be 'you want/went...'. 1563 could be 'tell him ...'. 01163 would be 'I said to him ...' etc. Without these additions, you're far more limited in what you can do.
Try it and see for yourself.
I was planning to write to 64 542 (Harry Lorayne) himself and tell him about this but 60 2 5274 81 0, 28. (He's no longer with us, now).
940 9 1 71! (Praise be to God!) He gave us our brains and memory.
Thanks posting this video.
Crafsman I'm trying to memorize a the notes on a guitar but dang there is a lot
That's easy, as they keep repeating!
Wow, I really like this video and you did a great job explaining it. Thank you!
Hi Yo host fr Ontario Canada So glad we have another great vid from you. I soooo enjoy you Sending love Thankyou❤
Harry Lorayne made a lot of money for selling the same memory system by creating different titles for the books, targeting different audiences. Great marketing ploy.
I've several books on "memory" - they're around here - somewhere...
Crafsman got me singin Jim Croce for days
Oh Crafsman! Now my head hurts! Too much math. Ouch.
That's not maths, it's a nice simple cipher code.
If you like this kind of stuff, you should check out "Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything" by Joshua Foer. It's s real interesting read and it taught me some valuable techniques
While it may be less useful as numbers get longer, a method I use is to picture a standard keypad (1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 0, like on a calculator, a cash machine, or the numpad on your keyboard), and picture the motion I'd trace to press the keys...
I understand it but I dont get how this helps ppl. I just memorize important numbers by looking at it and reciting it a few times.🤷♀️
Memory is effort and time. Play also helps. This is a playful way of making you spend time making the effort to memorize a number.
I had a Casio Keyboard back in the day. I was like whaaaat! when I saw it. I hoped you would play that rhythm, I liked another rhythm called Bossanova . I'm going to try this trick. Thanks Crafsman.
You are so cool!! Excellent info. Great humor! You are a joy to us. Keep ‘em coming. Thank you, Sir!!
I keep coming back to this video, super helpful thanks Crafsman.
This is great for people that cant remember large sequences, I only need it for small ones. My strange brain... I can remember very large sequences after seeing them just once if I say it out loud once. But lordy lordy don't ask me to remember 1,2,3,4, or 5 numbers. I just cant retain those smaller numbers. Its a pain in the rump, because I forget pin numbers all of the time. I'll have to try this method for that. Thanks Crafsman. You rock, as always.
I learned my debit card number because I used it a lot online and I can't pay with paypal everywhere. I didn't plan on learning it, it just stuck with me after a while.
I tought of trouble...and something else wich I don't remember!
0 = s,z according to number major system
so for the long number "table sent moper tanner" works aswell
24 people that can’t remember the alphabet... guess it’s possible I use this in reverse to recall certain words like if your a mathematician and can’t spell 🤪
Cute but I aint got time for dat. I had that Casio growing up. You STILL have it. I can't imagine your collection of STUFF.
I watched this video much earlier today. It popped in my head as I was trying to sleep so I grabbed a pen and paper. Somehow! I remembered them all! Thank you for sharing this Crafsman!
What an interesting topic. I love the VL tone beat. :) What I like about you crafsman is that you make videos about things that you really enjoy - so as diverse as your videos are , they are always authentic. As often as i break and buy cheap phones, I need to start this. LOL!
But what if like me, tables ARE my fred narry ? Would it still work or would I just get confused?
And the Atomic Fireballs help!
For REAL! :D
Dear CrafsMan, i vow to learn this system here and be able to recall large numericalized sequentials with ease. Im gonna let you know how it works out for me. You are the greatest of the greatest to ever do it. Love Kokoberry
