Today's guest can remember your name, your number, and, oh, about 10,000 digits of pi while he's at it! Nelson Dellis is a 5-time USA Memory Champion, and when he says he's an athlete, he means it. In addition to his incredible feats of memory, Dellis is a former elite Crossfit games athlete and a mountaineer, having climbed Everest three times.
Nelson Dellis describes his unique method for memorizing large amounts of information very quickly, associating words and numbers with notable characteristics and emotions, then placing them in one of his "memory palaces" where they can be organized and quickly recalled. While you may not need to memorize the number and suit of 7 decks of randomly shuffled cards, Dellis' techniques have many real-world applications, like learning the names of employees at a job interview, memorizing lines in a script, or understanding how to make characters in a story more memorable to readers.
Nelson Dellis has published two books about his memory techniques, and coaches others privately and through his YouTube channel.
