Have you ever set your mind on accomplishing something big?
Johannes Mallow did.
After seeing memory techniques demonstrated on German television, he decided he would do more than merely learn how to use mnemonics.
He committed to conquering them so well that he could win the most challenging memory competitions on the planet.
Despite all the odds, including battling against a physical condition…
Mallow made it happen.
And today he uses his status as a world renowned memory athlete and memory expert to help others.
He’s an incredible promotor of memory sports and has helped many people experience the power of their minds.
In this exclusive interview, Mallow shares some of the lesser-known secrets of how to develop the memory systems needed to succeed.

Johannes Mallow On Practical Memory Techniques
One thing I appreciate highly in Johannes’ approach to teaching memory skills is clarity.
See, a lot of memory athletes make it seem like how they use mnemonics for competition translates to long term learning gains.
Make no mistake:
The techniques are definitely related.
But you need a bit more in order to form long-term memories, such as active recall.
This is so refreshing to hear! Especially since the points Johannes brings from his years of studying memory science in addition to practicing as a mental athlete are so key when it comes to learning new things thoroughly.
And all the more so in the context of keeping a Memory Journal.
Journaling is itself a skill that you don’t just pick up automatically.
It’s also not something that you drop, as we’ve discussed in my post about how some of the best innovators approach learning in the age of artificial intelligence.
No, journaling is a specific skill that you can learn to do well. Which is all the more reason I’m grateful for Johannes and the tips and experiences he shared in this episode of the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast.
Enjoy!
