Maybe I didn't make myself clear. He memorized the location of all 52 cards in less than 6 seconds and was able to successfully name them all.

After memorizing the spread, he was then able to shuffle and control the cards to deal himself a royal flush. Does that impress you more?

I thought the world record was 26 seconds? Maybe Sal was using a pre-memorised deck?

And for coorothecrow, maybe THIS site will be of interest to you...

I would recommend looking up "How to Develop A Perfect Memory" by Dominic O Brien.

His method is wonderful and can help you keep track of cards as they are played. However; I believe with multiple decks in use it could be a little tricky. Give it a shot anyhow, it's a wonderful book as it is and can help you all around.

ok. i'll look it up. is it worth the buy? anyone know any skills to develop a good memory?

I would say it's worth the money. It can help you in everyday life as well as other interest. It's about a $40 book if I'm not mistaken, I bought it from http://www.Lybrary.com

Also try the wizard ace-five system, it's highly underrated.
