![]() ![]() ![]() He practiced sleight of hand at the Hamilton Fish Park in the 1930s. He worked at it and figured out eight ways to perform the trick. He stole empty milk bottles from in front of apartments in the tenement in which he lived so that he could collect the $.02 deposit on them and be able to afford a deck of cards. Lorayne saw his first card trick when he was six or seven years old, and immediately knew he had to figure out how to do it himself. Using elementary versions of the techniques he would later employ professionally, he began earning perfect marks. Most were beyond him, but he fought his way through. At the library, he found a shelf of dusty books on memory training, some dating to the 18th century. If only he could learn to memorize, he realized, his problems would end. The New York Times wrote in its obituary that Lorayne's father: Īs a violent man, and whenever young Harry brought home failing grades on an exam – and because of his dyslexia, he often did – his father beat him. His father, who was a garment cutter, died by suicide when Lorayne was 12. Lorayne was born as Harry Ratzer and grew up poor on New York's Lower East Side. His card magic, especially his innovations in card sleights, is widely emulated by amateur and professional magicians. His book The Memory Book was a New York Times bestseller. He was well known for his incredible memory demonstrations and appeared on numerous television shows including 24 times on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

Psychologists and educators have said that we use only a small percentage of our brain power-I think the system here will enable you to use just a little more than average. So you will find that all the ways and methods in the book are those that I use myself and therefore feel qualified to teach to you. I am an entertainer and a memory expert, not a psychiatrist or a doctor, and I didn’t think it necessary to go into an explanation of the workings of the human brain, and just how the memory actually works in terms of cells, curves, impressions, etc. I have tried to write and explain the system as if I were sitting in your living room and explaining it to you there.Īlthough naturally, quite a bit of research was necessary, I’ve discarded most of the technical ideas and thoughts because I found them difficult to understand and to apply myself. ![]() Once you’ve started on my system, you may be surprised as to how simple and obvious it really is. If you download this book expecting a theoretical harangue of technical terms, you are doomed to disappointment. This isn’t true in its strictest sense you’ll also have to spend just a little bit of your time, and just a little effort to get the brain working. Well, don’t misunderstand me, I wouldn’t turn down your offer of a million dollars but, actually the price of this book is all you need to spend. Many people have told me that they would “give a million dollars” if they could acquire a memory like mine. Mark Twain is reported to have said that “ Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.” Similarly, everyone talks or brags about their bad memory, but few people ever do anything about it.
