In this attempt Ron shuffled through a deck of cards in 1 min and 17 seconds (roughly) and then (not shown in the video) attempted to assemble a second deck of cards to match the deck he has just seen.

Sleep and Memory

Ron White memory guy here. I am sure you know that when training for memory championships I am obviously really working to enhance my memory training. However, what you may not know that I am also paying attention to my nutrition and foods that help memory. I have also really for the first time started thinking about how sleep impacts the memory. At the 2010 USA Memory Championship I only had 60-90 minutes sleep the night before. Although I won, I was not on my 'A' game and I don't recommend it!

Chris Widener’s Leadership Book

As the memory guy and USA Memory Champion it is no secret that I am normally writing articles about the brain, memory, speed reading, Einstein and the like. However, I do think every now and then it is wise to venture outside of the brain and explore other educational material that will not only make us smarter but impact every area of our life from business to personal.

Life Lessons From a Navy SEAL by Ron White

Probably 5% of the world's population has the physical ability to become a SEAL. I would guess that less than 2% have the mental toughness and maybe 1% have both.
