Book: Wisdom Sits In Places

Book: Wisdom Sits In Places The best book about palace of memory techniques isn't about palace of memory. It's this one.

Over the last twelve years, I’ve tried to read most of the books about Palace of Memory techniques that I’ve learned about; it’s one of my abiding interests as a teacher, a magician, a scholar and a storyteller. This has included Frances Yates, Mary Carruthers, Scott Gosnell’s translations of works by Giordano Bruno, and discussions with other practitioners of memory arts within the occult…

Magic: Mala of Memory

Magic: Mala of Memory

It’s hard not to look through my stats and comments, and not come to particular conclusions.  For the most part, you don’t come here to read about sewing. Mostly you don’t come here to read about Making, Maker programs or Maker spaces in schools.

For one thing, they work. I found myself…

A Talk on Memory Palaces

Yesterday, at the District 53 Toastmasters Spring Conference (part of Toastmasters International), I delivered a talk on the Palace of Memory technique. These were my working notes and my slideshows. First, I delivered a 10-15 minute talk on what the Palace of Memory technique is, and how it works.  I’m sorry that there’s no audio — with the setup  I had, I couldn’t simultaneously run the…

I knew about the Palace of Memory technique long before it appeared on Sherlock. Of course, no one is ever going to believe me when I say that.

"Oh, you heard about that on Sherlock." They'll say.

"No, I heard about it on my drive into work, on NPR, yeeeears ago." I'll say.

They still won't believe me, but I have proof, mwahah!
