Not bad. Kind of the type of voice they would caricature on the simpsons. The actual systems do work, but for value for money you are better off with one of the books.

This review is from: How to Improve Your Memory (Audio Cassette)

Harry Lorrayne is perhaps the world's most foremost memory expert . . . I had previously THE MEMORY BOOK, his bestseller co-authored with Jerry Lucas . . . so when I was at my local
library and saw one of his cassette tapes, HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY, I jumped at the chance to listen to it.

It promises a lot, and that was perhaps my biggest problem with the program; i.e., it attempted to do too much . . . several techniques were glossed over in the 40 minutes, and I had trouble grasping them.

Yet that said, I did learn one way for remembering numbers (something that I've always had difficulty doing) . . . all you need to do is first remember Lorrayne's Phonetic Alphabet:

The sound for #1 will always be--T or D. The letter T has one downstroke.

The sound for #2 will always be--N. Typewritten n has two downstrokes.

The sound for #3 will always be--M. Typewritten m has three downstrokes.

The sound for #4 will always be--R. Final sound of the word "four" is R.

The sound for #5 will always be--L. Roman numeral for 50 is L.

The sound for #6 will always be--J, ch, sh, soft g, etc. The letter J turned around is almost like the number 6. (J6)

The sound for #7 will always be--K, hard c, and hard t. The number 7 can be used to form a K. One seven right-side up, and the other side down. (K)

The sound for #8 will always be--F or V. Written f and figure 8 both have two loops, one above the other. (f8)

The sound for #9 will always be--P or B. The number 9 turned around is P.

The sound for 0 will always be--S or Z. First sound of the word "zero."

Thus, say if my Mac card identification number was 3120 . . . that would translate into MTNS, which I could then use to visualize a range of mountains . . . and that image would be easier to
remember then the number . . . or at least it would be for me.
