Scott Hagwood (Four-time USA Memory Champion and USA’s first Grand Master of memory) shared this overview of the upcoming show with me:

“I spent about an hour being taped with Bill Ritter, the Correspondent for the segment, and we discussed why the development of memory skills is crucial to your thinking skills because it helps you not only remember, of course, but elevates your understanding, application, analytical, evaluation and creative skills. We talked about why “cramming” doesn’t work and it is best to take a little bit a time – study, then break, study then break. We did three demonstrations. One with a deck of cards (in about two minutes), we showed the Roman Room method in his home (how he can remember 8 things on his to do list – pick up milk, fix his bike, take his shirts to the cleaners, buy baseball tickets online, buy flowers, print out airline tickets, string his racket, and tape ABC 20/20.) The third demonstration was how to remember names and faces in a bar in Times Square (The Blue Fin Bar) where they picked out eight random people.”
