“Great book with fantastic and easy to use memory techniques. Suitable for teens and adults alike.” S.B.

“I tested the book briefly with my Scouts…We used a couple of the techniques Powell mentioned to see if we could improve recall of a list of camping essentials. And, with a little ensuing hilarity, a story involving some quite bizarre ways to make an elephant carry the kit and what I can only call improvised callisthenics, it was clear that the previously tedious exercise was now replaced with a bit of a laugh, and much better recall. If a short session can have that much effect, think of what will happen if these Scouts apply the same principles to their GCSEs in a few years time!” K.P.

Ever wonder how you’re going to remember all that stuff you need to know for that exam coming up? No need to worry. With this book in your hand you’ll have all the tools you need to memorise any fact, information, theory, name or number – pretty much anything, in fact – and do so under pressure of time or nerves. What’s more, you’ll memorise faster than ever and will have a system which allows you to recall anything you want reliably, every time. The only thing to worry about is that this technique is so silly you might actually laugh out loud in the test. Revision has never been so much fun.
