Session 2:įurst extends the Major System in this session and helps you extend it to three digits. The session concludes with a test of how you interact your different hooks with daily chores. So that you can remember the numbers of each “hook,” you learn the Major System.
Instead of calling each stop in the Memory Palace a “Magnetic Station,” he talks about coat hooks, each with a number. Furst uses the terminology of his era: The Memory Checkroom. Furst made the best possible choice by starting where I also introduce students to the art of memory, with the Memory Palace technique. There is no perfect place to start learning memory techniques.īut I feel that Dr. Inside, you’ll find simple questions on typewritten sheets.įinally, the box comes with the “Number Dictionary.” This small booklet is packed with words that fit the Major System from 00-1000.īruno Furst faces the same challenge all memory experts run up against: The answer depends on you, your goals and your willingness to go on what Furst calls, “Adventures in Memory and Concentration.” The question is… does his memory training work?
But the fact that he has a profile in that magazine gives us a clue to his prominence during his era. The only Wikipedia page about him is in French and the New Yorker has their article about him locked in an archive.
Given that this Bruno Furst fled Germany after Hitler came to power, this idea that he may have changed his name is plausible. Since “der Fürst” can mean “prince” or “ruler” in German, I have often wondered if the entire name is invented to say something about Giordano Bruno’s constant influence. It’s impossible to know, but I personally find it hard not to think about one of the most famous memory teachers, Giordano Bruno. People familiar with the long tradition of memory techniques will probably think he chose to go by “Bruno” to attract the attention of people already familiar with memory techniques. He was a German lawyer and his full name was Johann Franz Bruno Fürst. Bruno Furst created a number of memory improvement courses and You Can Remember! is one of the most famous.
