Another of my episodes on mnemonic techniques you can use for just about any purpose. I recently discovered a pegword system in a great book called, "Line?". It's a book for actors that was written by a memory expert like myself, Jared Kelner. Check out his book on Amazon.

I show how the system could be sued to memorize the firs t three lines of the speech, but it certainly could be used to remember the entire speech.
