Gifted memory retention can often look paranormal to some and beyond what they think the human mind is capable of.

[@jsmit9484]

You can practice it and become quite good at it actually. I can memorize 18 series of 8 numbers in a short amount of time using the Major system and memory palace. Look it up, it's really interesting and actually quite useful in some situations

[@matthewjohnson8810]

@@JF-ch8ch he may be also gifted buy the technique he is using can be found, if I recall correctly (pun not intended but appreciated), in The Memory Book, I was supposed to read that book during a psychology class but ultimately dropped that class. The techniques for memorizing things were very similar to what was detailed in the book, I.E. using locations/people in clever ways since our brains are wired to place more importance on remembering people and places

Loci Method is basically making a map in your mind, such as your house etc, and then associating each item to a point in that map - once you get good at it this is actually easy to do. In college we had to memorize 50 objects with our Loci maps.

[@edwardbrowne258]

I'm not saying this is how it is being done here, but it is totally possible for anyone who knows how to palm a mirror (watch again focussing on the positioning of the left hand in shot), has a good stooge and a contientious editor to do this trick. I suspect it was a beautifully performed magic trick; after all he barely looked at the cards. If that is what was taking place, the real magic was in the delightful performance. To my mind that's a greater skill than just remembering stuff in order :)

[@voiceabove]

Most people couldn't remember even 10 cards in a row.

[@DrZaius3141]

The vast majority of people can remember 7 things at once. The first major trick is to group these things, because if the group is "saved" as one thing, 7 groups can mean 21 (or 35) things. When I memorized pi back in my day of being bored with maths being too easy, it was key to see 5 numbers as one packet which you can remember by the rhythm. Said rhythm is why I couldn't fluently recite pi in English, though.
