Hey guys

I know there has been a thread on this before, but I can't find it (missing the search engine...) and I don't think it answered my question anyway.

There was a discussion on the best method for memorizing a deck of cards and Dominic O'Brien's "journey method" was mentioned. I bought his book "Learn To Remember", but the method wasn't explained when it came to remembering cards. I understand the principles, but I am still wondering about one thing:

When memorizing cards on the journey do you memorize the cards as they are or symbols (pegs) for the cards? I'd guess the latter is correct, but it takes more practice... Right?

Thanx

Stig

Maybe this will get you started...

I happen to use this method, two cards at a time, rather than triplets.
