Tap The Mind Of A 10-Year Old Memory Palace Master

What if your child could memorize all of Shakespeare’s plays… in historical order?

And have fun while doing it?

That’s exactly what Alicia Crosby did at age ten after reading just one memory improvement book.

In this episode of the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast, I speak with Alicia and her father John Crosby to talk about how she accomplished this feat after reading Lewis Smile’s The Memory Palace.

Alicia used Smile’s book to memorize all of Shakespeare’s plays in historical order. She’s now exploring ways to use Memory Palace techniques to memorize other information, such as the Periodic Table of The Elements.

In this inspiring episode, you’ll also discover:

• How walking, cycling and even motorcycle rides can make a world of difference when it comes to building Memory Palace journeys.
• Why the Memory Palace examples in Smile’s book worked so well for Alicia (and will probably work well for you too).
• Why using the journey method means you never have to “manually” memorize locations.
• Why Memory Palaces are essentially a “free resource” just waiting in your mind to be utilized to memorize just about anything.
• The number one thing Alicia loves about using her memory.
• The confidence that having an improved memory can bring – at any age.
• Why memory is a catalyst to developing an interest in boring topics that young people might not otherwise care about.
• Exactly how using a Memory Palace feels, the absolute joy and creativity of using memory techniques …
• … and much, much more.
