I'm Troy Dillinger. My guest today is Kevin Trudeau, founder of the American Memory Institute, and author of the number one best-selling memory improvement system, Mega Memory. He claims that everyone can develop a superpower memory. Well, let's see. Kevin, thanks for being my guest. Troy, glad to be here. Glad to have you. What is the American Memory Institute? Well, I'm the founder of the American Memory Institute, which became the largest memory training school in the world. And what we did through a series of books, audio, home study courses, and live training is we taught people all around the world how to develop a, I call it a photographic or instant recall memory, so that people can do some pretty amazing things. Like imagine being able to walk into a room full of people and meet 30 or 40 people and remember everybody's name.

Or a student being able to study for an exam in just 20 or 30 minutes and then remember everything for the exam and get straight A's with very little study time. or being able to remember things to do, appointments, directions, making speeches without notes, or even stop absent my idea. Do you ever have this happen to you? Do you ever walk into a room in your house and say, why did I come in here? Or where are my keys? Or you walk into a parking lot at the mall and go, where did I park the car? So what we developed or I developed is a revolutionary breakthrough in memory improvement technology,

which virtually releases a person's memory power. So they can have that instant ability to recall information. Is this something you developed over time or were you born with a good memory or? Yeah, I was not born with a good memory. The reason I actually founded the Institute and got involved with the mega memory system, and right now it's been estimated that over 10 million people around the world have gone through this type of memory improvement technology, making it the most utilized self-approved series of all time.

But I was told in school that I had a learning disability. I really struggled with remembering information and trying to do well in school. It wasn't until I met a fellow Michael Van Masters who did research at Muskogee, Oklahoma School for the Blind, back I believe in the 70s. VR Carter was a superintendent back then, and he worked with 35 blind children helping them improve their ability to recall. They were tested at the beginning of the study and at the end. At the beginning, they had a 15% ability to recall information.

At the end of the study, it went up to 90%. And Michael said, hey, if I can teach blind kids how to develop and dramatically improve their ability to recall information, I can teach anybody. And he developed some teaching methods of memory improvement technology that worked. I met him. I learned that. And then I founded the American Memory Institute, took it to the next level. And that's what mega memory is today. It's the most utilized self-improvement technology for personal development.

in history. How does a good memory help you in business? Well, a powerful memory today with technology, obviously, you know, we say, oh, we really don't need it because of technology, but a powerful memory helps somebody in business because in business, the number one thing you're selling is yourself. And the way you sell yourself is to get people to like you. Now Dale Carnegie wrote the book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. And in that book, he discovered that a person's favorite subject is themselves.

a person's name is the sweetest sound in the language to each person. It commands attention every time it's used. Well, Zig Zigler also said that people don't care how much you know until they first know how much you care. So you can't show someone that you care for them or are interested in them if you can't even remember the sweetest sound to the ears, which is their own name. Because has this ever happened to you? You shake somebody's hand, you get their name.

And as soon as the handshake breaks, the name just drops right to the floor. And it's like, I'm sorry, what's your name again? So imagine as a business professional being able to remember people's names or facts and information about product or details. Today, because of technology, people's memory power is lower than at any time in history. We're not exercising our brain power. Therefore, we are losing it. Just like if you don't exercise your body, it atrophies, the muscles atrophy. the brain power today of people is lower than it's ever been. And I'll tell you why it's important

in business. I was doing a radio show in New York City years ago. Fella called up on the air, and he says, Kevin, I'm so glad to talk to you. I saw you on television, and I bought your mega memory course, and it was the best investment ever made for my business career. I said, really, why? He says, well, when I got your course, I was applying for a job on Wall Street, a job I really wanted. The problem was 500 other people were applying for the same position. So in order to set myself apart, over the five-day interview process, when I went in, I must have met about 50 people. I simply remembered all their names.

So when I would walk back in the next day, I could call people by name. Hey, Franklin Militello, good to see you. Joe Sulo, good to see you. Paul Bertoli, nice to see you. Artisland, how are you? They were blown away. He says, then I used the mega memory techniques, and I committed to memory all 1,500, of the New York Stock Exchange companies and stock symbols.

And I showed the executive team that I had this good memory and I remembered this. He goes, Kevin, I was like a freak show. They go, hey, Charlie, come in here. You're going to check this guy out. Do that again. And I'm recalling everything. He goes, I obviously got the job. I've gotten three promotions since then.

I make presentations without notes. I go into meetings and I'm the only person when asked a question, I don't have to look in my phone for the answer or look on my laptop. I have it right at my mental fingertips. everyone's blown away and impressed. And the best part is everyone thinks I'm smart. Because I'm not sure if it's true. He says, but it's awesome having this memory improvement power.

So a powerful memory equals more money in business. If you don't have a powerful memory, it's costing you money. So flip side of the spectrum, does this help children in school? Yeah, you know, memory training and education. or memory and learning go hand in hand. If you say you've learned something, but you can't remember it, you haven't learned it. And at the end of the day, school,

or getting good grades in school, is memory. So if a child can dramatically improve their ability to recall, it's going to change everything. We took an entire seventh grade class just to show the power of this. And in nine hours, I taught them, the seventh grade class, how to improve their memory. memory. As a test, at the end of the school year, they had a big problem on their hands,

eight months ahead of their school curriculum, lowest grade point average A-minus. The vocabulary levels of the seventh graders were that of sophomores in college, because I can remember all the words and definitions. And the best part, I think, was absentee rate, virtually zero. The kids couldn't wait to go to school because they were excelling so much, which affects their self-image and self-esteem. I was doing a live presentation in Cleveland years ago, and a woman showed up at the live presentation, and she said, I bought your course,

and I gave it to my daughter, and it changed her life. I have to meet you in person. I heard you were in town, and I got to tell you the story. It was about 500 people in the room. I said, well, why don't you, Bob, come on up to the front and tell everybody the story? So she said, my daughter struggled in school. She couldn't remember.

But she loved school. She was a happy, bubbly girl. Loved to go to school, but couldn't remember. A small girl. And on one particular day, they had a history exam. And my daughter got every answer wrong because she couldn't remember anything. And when the teacher passed out the exams, oh, Johnny, you got an A minus, congratulations. Oh, you got a B-plus, well done. Got to my daughter and said, you got every question wrong.

You just must be stupid. She said, my daughter cried, ran out of the room. They had the, in the principal's office, they called me, I had to pick her up, told me what happened. I was devastated. Kevin, that day, the mega memory that I ordered when I saw you on TV arrived. I told my daughter, I said, hey, this guy says there's no such thing as a good or a bad memory, just a trained or an untrained memory. Let's learn this together and see what happens.

Kevin, I wasn't sure because I didn't know if it really worked. So we went through over the next three days the program. My daughter picked it up like perfect. She was remembering everything, forwards, backwards, in and out of order. She committed to memory because of your techniques, all 50 states and their capitals. And she said, I want to go back to school now. Went back to school, went up to the teacher and said, let me show you what I can do in front of the entire class.

And she rattled off in alphabetical order all 50. states and their capitals. And she says, Kevin, I'm so proud. My daughter looked at teacher right in the eye and said, and if you can't do that, I guess you're just stupid. And she said, obviously this girl's grades are going to go up dramatically. But the self-confidence and self-esteem that a powerful memory gave my daughter, she says, I had to come and give you a hug, Kevin. it changed, it will change her life forever. That's the power of an improved memory. It's powerful.

Now, I want to show you a demonstration, by the way, because we were talking about this before the show. And I've been doing these demonstrations for 30 years. And the reason why I'm even back talking about Mega Memory, because I came out with this back in the 80s. I remember. And I went on television in 1989 to sell the Mega Memory Home Study Course. And it hasn't been talked about for decades.

What happened was, because I'm the Master of Modern. modern day marketing and I'm a legend in the TV world and the marketing world. I was on these mastermind groups and a bunch of guys said, Kevin, we've been studying you on television since 1989. And how come you're not bringing mega memory back? Can you still do those demonstrations? So I said, yeah. So I was in this particular mastermind.

I must have met about 75 people real quick and I remembered all their names, first and last names and addresses. And they were like, they were just blown away. And then I said, let's do the card demo. So they took a pack of cards and they flipped the cards over. And I said, okay, now take the deck. Three of clubs, they flip it over. The second card was Ace of Hearts.

And I would go through it and they were like, how come you're not selling this? And so that's the reason why we're back here because today people need to improve their memory more than ever before. Because of technology, people's memories are weaker. But I get something that you haven't seen. Back in 1989, the very first time I went on television. television to talk about this, I was doing a show with a live audience and I did a demonstration. So I want to show this to you just so you can see what I did back in 1989. And I'm a lot younger back then, a long time ago.

But let's take a look at this on the monitor. Let's watch this. What I want to do now is I want to do a little demonstration to show you what can be done when you have a trained memory. And before I do this, it's important that you all realize none of you forget anything. Every time I say that, now someone has to be thinking, well, he doesn't know my memory, I forget things all the time. Some of you probably forgot how to get here today.

No, you don't forget things. The problem is recalling information when you need it. See, every bit of information you see in here is in the memory. The only problem is it's mis-filed. Let me give an example. You're maybe a student. You're going to take an exam, and you look at question seven, and you think, we just covered that in class yesterday.

Oh, I just read that last night. and you blank out on question seven and you stare and you think and you think doesn't come back to you put the paper down put past the paper and you walk out of the room and as soon as you hit the doors gets what pops into your mind from the answer so it's obviously here isn't it it just gets misfiled example you've seen filing cabinets in those filing cabinets you can actually put hundreds of files bits of information all filed away in an order if I asked any one of you uh Keith find me the Jones file Ellen, find me the Harris file. You could go within seconds, have that information you needed your fingertips.

But what would happen if we took the same files and I emptied them on the floor in this room and we mixed them all up? We called this the file pile. And I said, Suzanne Potts, can you find me the Jones file? You say, yeah, can you call me next Friday? I have to go through this big mess. Your mind is exactly the same way. You meet people every day. You shake their hands and get their names.

You have telephone conversations. If you're a student, you sit in lecture classes, you read books, you read materials, you attend seminars and training sessions, all you're doing is taking information and throwing it in the Grand Canyon of your mind. It's like taking a file folder and throwing it into a removeratural. Then when you try to go back to recall it and you see this person that you met three weeks ago, you think, oh, what's the name? The mind says, sorry I forgot. You did not forget, it's here.

The only problem is it's misfiled. Now, when we work with those blind and mentally handicapped children, we actually develop the way to teach anyone how to develop mental file folders in your mind. So virtually anything you see or here automatically goes into a mental file. Then when you try to go back to recall it, whether it be a person's name or something for a test or something you heard or something you read, it instantly pops back. Instead of saying, I remember your face, you come back and say, Lisa Phillips, nice to meet you. Now I'm going to do a little demonstration for you to show you what can be done when you have a trained memory. Now I had a chance to meet most of you as you came in today, so I do remember your names. What I'm going to do is go around the room, call you out randomly by name.

When I call on you, I want you to call out to the group of word. Any word at all, and we'll jot it down. Peter, why don't we start with number one? Sunday. Sunday, where it says number one in your papers, everyone write down Sunday. All right, Ron for number two? Car for number two. How about Rick for number three?

Lunch. Lunch for number three. How about, let's see, how about Lisa Phillips for number four? Football. Football for number four. How about Jack for number five? Sunlight. Sunlight, good for number five.

How about, let's see, for number six. Let's go to Carol for number six. House. House for number six. How about Henry? Seven. Egg. Egg for number seven. And how about Bruce for number eight?

Cadillac. Cadillac for number eight. How about Michael, Dr. Michael Harrison in the back? Wrist watch. Wrist watch for number nine. And how about Roy? Number 10. Apple.

Apple for number 10. Let's see, 11. How about Maxine? Ring. Ring for number 11. Let's see 12. Let's go to Suzanne. Consciousness.

Consciousness for number 12. Let's see 13. Let's go to Mirialis. Handbone. Hambone for number 13. And 14. Let's go to Sandy Miller. Girl.

Girls for 14. And how about Heather for number 15? Kangaroo for 15. Great. Now, this is called processing and organizing information. As I mentioned, none of you forget anything. You just miss file things. Now, let me see if I can recall these by memory.

I think they go of something like this. Number one is Sunday, two was car, three was lunch, four was football, five was sunlight, excuse me, sunlight, six was house, seven was egg, eight was, let's see, Cadillac, nine, was wristwatch, 10 was Apple, 11 was ring, 12 was consciousness, 13 was handbone, 14 was girls, and 15 of course was kangaroo. Now backwards ago, kangaroo girls, then we have handbone, consciousness, ring, then Apple, wristwatch, Cadillac, then we have egg, house, sunlight, football, lunch, car, and of course the first one was Sunday. That's forwards and backwards by memory. Now, thank you.

Pretty impressive. Very impressive. Yeah, imagine if a student had that ability to go into a lecture class and hear things for the first time and be able to remember them all and be able to recall them later. Obviously, then they get straight A's, and we've seen that over and over again with students. If a business professional has that, you're going into a meeting. People are always feverishly taking notes and can't remember anything. They can't recall.

They're always looking in their computer. They can't remember anything. It is unbelievable today that people can't remember anything. And it's because their brain and their mind is so weak because they haven't used it because of technology. They need to improve their memory. And what the mega memory system is, which is unique and different, it's not basic word association. That's antiquated. It doesn't work.

It's not hypnosis or subliminal. What it is, it's a series of mental exercises which stimulate neurotransmitter activity in the brain and virtually release the instant recall ability or superpower memory that everybody has right now. As I mentioned, you don't forget things. You just misfile things. I'll give you an interesting story about this. When I was on a major television talk show, they had a studio audience here about 100 people, and they were in line waiting to get into the studio. So I went to the line, and I actually met every single person. And one of the demos I said was, if I met you before the show started, stand up. And I'm going to go around and call you by name. And if I get your name

right, have a seat. And if I get your name wrong, well, you're going to have to remain standing for the rest of the show. Everybody got a laugh. I said, I hope I don't miss. I am human. So I went around the room and I remembered everybody's first and last name, and they all sat down, standing ovation. And the host said, well, sure, you know, you could do that.

You're the founder of the American Memory Institute. You're the world's greatest memory expert. But nobody else could do that. And I said, no, anybody could do it. I says, I'll prove it to you. Out of tonight's audience, you give me three people. Give me a student, age 10, 11, or 12. Give me a business professional in their 30s or 40s or 20s.

And give me somebody in their 60s or 70s or 80s. And this week, I'll have them go through the Mega Memory Home Study course on their own. Next week, invite the four of us back on your show, and I'll have those people do that demonstration. Well, it was a great way to get back on the program, which worked. But the next week, we had a, I think it was an 82 or 78-year-old woman, somebody close to 80. years old she went and remembered over 30 people's names in the audience that she had met just before the show they gave her a standing ovation and the host said how did you do that how did you remember everybody's name and she said I don't know I I just

remembered it was just like I didn't do anything I just it was like I just remembered well she's gonna be a terror now playing her bridge club you know because she said I can't wait to I can't wait to use this and But the point is, we release your memory power versus teaching you a particular technique. Now, in the beginning, we do teach technique on do this and you'll remember. But as you go later, your memory overall gets better.

Your eye becomes like a wide angle camera, virtually picking up and recording everything it sees, whether you're focused on it or not. Your ear becomes like a powerful tape recorder, virtually picking up and recalling and recording what you hear whether you're focused on or not. So later, when you want to remember it, you just have access to that information.

because you didn't forget it. You just misfiled it. Kind of like this. Do you ever walk into a bank or a grocery store and you see someone that you know for like 10 years? And you go, hey, hi. And as soon as you say hi, the name just goes blank. In your mind, you're like, oh, no, what's their name? And you think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think.

And you can't remember their name. And it drives you crazy all day long. 2 o'clock in the morning, two days later, you wake up and go, So Charlie Smith, well, that means you never forgot in the first place. It was in your memory. It was just misfiled. How is this technique different from other techniques? There's others out there.

Word association. How is this one different? Yeah. And as I mentioned, you know, word association has been around for a long time. But this technology is very unique because it was developed. by Michael Van Masters when he used memory training, basic memory training, which has been around for a long time, trying to help blind kids improve their memory, and in doing so had to make some breakthroughs, which are very unique to the mega memory system.

When people get the audio downloads, which are available now, back in our day it was cassette tapes. And then we got really good improvement. We had CDs, right? But now it's all audio download. And people can click on the QR code, and if they click on the QR code, it'll take them to a page where they can get the audio downloads and they can start going through the course. It's a series of mental exercises. It's a series of lessons. Each lesson is only 20 to 30 minutes in length.

You can go through as many lessons as you want each day. And after you go through a few short hours, you'll be able to do everything that I just did with these demonstrations. For example, not just with 15 things forwards and backwards and then out of order, but when a person goes through the course, in the first hour, you're doing over 50 things forwards backwards in and out of order. At the end of the course, you're doing hundreds, several hundred forwards, backwards, and in and out of order. You'll be able to walk into a room and meet 30 or 40 brand new people and remember all their names. And we actually test you at the beginning of the mega memory course to see and assess your memory. It's a quick little test. And then we test you at the end.

And most people see a 3,000 to 5,000 percent improvement in their memory power in just a few short hours. Thousands of percent. Thousands of percent. Because, for example, the list that I did in that back in 1989, if I were to ask you, can you remember the list? No. Okay. So in the course, if you try to remember things, you just can't. And then after you go through the course, if you remember 100 things that you hear only once,

the improvement is off the charts. I mean, it's just radical. I'll give you an example of this. I was doing a program in New Jersey and Newark, and that fella came into the class. He was actually in the class taking the class live. And he said, let me tell you why I'm here. Can you help me? I'm flunking calculus.

And he was in college. He says, I'm flunking calculus because I can't remember the equations. I said, well, okay, tomorrow you're going to learn how to commit an equation to memory. So in the second day of the mega memory program, he learned that. I said, is that going to help you with your... He goes, are you kidding me? He goes, this is unbelievable. Yes.

So he said, I got to test tomorrow. I'll let you know how he did. I said, well, here's my phone number. Call me. So he went home, studied, took his test, called me. He says, Kevin, I took my calculus equation. an exam. I says, how you do? What's the result? He goes, I got good news and bad news. He goes, the good news is I scored a 100% on my calculus equation exam. It's the only kid in the class

that got a perfect score. I remembered them all, and I finished in one-tenth the time. He goes, it was just like, it was like I was cheating. It's like I had all the information at my mental fingertips because of mega memory. I go, well, that's great. What's the bad news? Because I was flunking and getting a straight F, my teacher figured I must have. to have cheated in order to get this A. I said, what happened? I had to go and take it in the principal's office. I go, what happened there?

A-stit, and I told the principal about your course. She's going to call you. She wants you to teach all the administrative staff. It's awesome. So those are the type of things that happen all the time. Let me play devil's advocate. Because there are so many tech assistants now. I have Google.

I have AI. I have notes app on my phone. I have every sort of thing at my fingertips. Why do, why would I need to do this when I have all these other things right here? Right here. At the end of the day, you don't need to have a good memory today

because of technology. You don't have to remember an address. You don't have to remember a phone number. You don't have to remember anything. It's all in your phone or it's all on your laptop. But you do have to remember people's names. remember people's names. The computer is yet to figure that one out.

And remember, Dale Carnegie, how to win friends and influence people. Everyone's favorite subject is themselves. A person's name is the sweetest sound in the language to them. It commands attention every time it's used. And remember, people don't care how much you know until they first know how much you care. You cannot show that you care for someone. if you can't remember and give them the sweetest sound to their ears, which is their own name. Number one, if you can remember people's names, you walk into a room and meet 30 people at a business event or a social event,

and you meet them all for the first time and get their name, and then you leave the room and you say goodbye to everyone you met with their first and last name, I guarantee they'll all going to remember you and the business you're in. You're going to have an affinity and connection with them that is better than anyone else because no one can do that. Secondly, the computer doesn't help you when someone asks you a question. And if you have to look it up, you're like everyone else. But if you have information at your mental fingertips because of your powerful memory, you are going to stand out from the crowd. And I think three, which is one of the most important reasons, is because of technology, we have to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be. are getting dumber and dumber and dumber. People are just stupid today. Their memory power is weaker

than ever. It's like the person who doesn't exercise. They get fat, they get weak because their muscles atrophy. Because we are relying on technology, our brain power, our cognitive function is atrophying. This is why there's all these types of supplements now for neuro this, neuro that, brain health, because we're getting dumber and dumber because we're not using our memory. Going through the mega memory system is going to supercharge your brain power, increasing all types of cognitive function, not just memory power. I think this speaks to the neuroplasticity effort. efforts that are out there.

It seems like everybody's trying to improve their neuroplasticity, and this seems to explain why. Yeah, and the reason why they need to improve it is because they're not using their memory, they're using technology and relying on that. So if a person goes through the mega memory system, neuroplasticity, which is basically the ability to mold and change and improve the brain.

It's not constant. It does mold and change. That means it changes worse or it changes better, just like a muscle. If you don't use your muscle, It gets weaker and smaller. And if you exercise it, it gets bigger. The brain is effectively a muscle in that respect.

So that's why mega memory is so critically important. I'll tell you an interesting story about this. One question that comes up, I was doing a live presentation in Las Vegas, Nevada, of course. And as I did the presentation, I remembered everybody's name in the room. I did that demonstration. And a guy in the back says, can this help

with remembering playing cards? So I said, sure, let me give you a demonstration, have a pack of cards and he flipped them all over. And I said, okay, now hold it up. I'll tell you what the first card was and flip it over for everybody. And I went through all 52. I said, that's pretty easy. I says, but before I actually did the 52, they got to 48.

That left's four cards left. I go, let me tell you the four cards that are left. And he was just like, you know, just blown away. But I said, yes, you can remember playing cards. But don't use this as an unfair advantage to make money off your friends and family. And a guy in the back of the room yells out, why not? Well, let me tell you an interesting story about cards. I was in Reno, Nevada.

I was on TV every day. I mean, every single day, I had more television impressions and Oprah back then with Mega Memory. It was so popular. And I was in Nevada, and I met a guy named Bobby Singer, who's a world-famous blackjack player who uses a count carding system. And with my memory, I thought,

this is going to be very easy. I want to test this out. So I went to at the casino. know, they had single-deck blackjack. I played one-on-one with the dealer. And as they played, I just remembered all the cards. So I know that there are no tens or nines or eights in the deck anymore. I have a six, I had a 17. I had a 17 and the dealer was showing a six. Now, basic strategy says you stay on 17. But I know there's no tens, there's no nines, there's no eights. And I happened to know that virtually there were four threes in the deck and four fours in the deck.

So I did the calculation based on the number of cards and I said, I have to hit. So I said hit. And the dealer says, excuse me, sir? I goes, I want to hit. No, sir, you have 17. I go, look, I know what's in the deck. And I go, there's only one card in the deck that can beat me. I goes, so I want, I want to hit. I get a four, 21, and of course, I win the hint. So I go, this is great. So I took my chips, went back, cleaned up, got all settled, made a plan, went back to the casino, sat down, one moment the dealer, I proceeded to play for about an hour. And I made $250,000.

So all document. It's all on the videotape. So after I make $250,000, all of a sudden, there are two guerrillas on both sides of me. And they tap me on the shoulder. They go, Mr. Trudeau. you need to come with us. And I'm thinking, okay, I've seen this in the movies.

And I'm thinking, they have to think I'm a cheat. So they're going to take me in the back, strip me down to see if I have any machines. They're probably going to start investigating the dealer, because maybe we're in cahoots. They're going to see if I have any, you know, something. I must be cheating. So they take me, but they don't take me into a room.

They're very nice. They're going, the owner and the president wants to meet you. where does he want to meet me? Oh, he's in the restaurant. Okay, at least at the public place. So we're going to the restaurant, and it was just like out of a movie. There's this big Italian guy in the back with his back to the eating a plate of spaghetti. It's all true.

He says, oh, Mr. Trudeau, sit down. I'm like, this is the godfather. This is a problem. He says, I've seen you on TV for years with your mega memory. I bought your mega memory course. He goes, and I wanted to personally think. thank you because it helped my child who was struggling in school and now he's getting straight A's and I'm so happy. And I can see it's obviously working for you at the tables. And I said,

he goes, no, it's okay. He says, you didn't do anything illegal. You're just too good for us. So keep the money, but you can't play blackjack anymore because you're just too good for us. And I said, and I can go now? He said, yes. And I can keep the money? He said, yes. He goes, but you just can't play blackjack anymore. Okay.

So fast forward. I'm in Australia a couple years later with General Norman Schwartzcoff and with President Gorbachev. We were part of a program called the World Masters of Business. And I was talking with the prime minister of Australia and doing presentations about memory and how a powerful memory is helpful in business. etc. and how we all need to do this. So General Schwartzcoff, who is the four-star general who invaded Iraq during the Iraq war, him and I went to the Crown Casino. Now we're in Australia

now, and this is several years after my Reno Nevada incident. So I walk into the Crown Casino, we sit down at a blackjack table. The general's sitting here, he puts down 100. I put down 100. They deal to the general, but they don't give me cards. And I go, excuse me, you forgot to deal with me. They go, no, Mr. Trudeau? you can't play blackjack here, you're too good for us. And I said, how do you know that? They go, you're in what's called the Griffin Book. I go, what's the Griffin Book?

The Griffin Book is a book with the names and photos of people like yourself who are not cheaters, you don't do anything illegal, but you're just too good for us. And we have the right to say, you can't play blackjack. So the point is having a powerful memory does dramatically improve every aspect, whether it's playing cards or remembering names or so forth. Now, I got to show you the second part of that demonstration. I showed you that demonstration that I did back in 1989. And I do that everywhere.

We do it here. We do it everywhere. I talked after I remembered the 15 items, forwards and backwards. I went on to talk for about another 20 or 30 minutes. Okay? So we weren't paying attention. So then, after about 20 or 30 minutes, then I went back to the list. So let's show that second clip of me back in 1989.

A little grainy, and I'm a little younger then. But take a look at this. This is 20 minutes later after I did the first demonstration. What I want to do now, go back to the list. I'd like anyone here in the room to call out any number on that list, I'll immediately tell you the word you call. Or call it any of the words, I'll immediately tell you the number. Okay, can we begin, number one item? Apple is number 10.

Cross it off on your sheet, folks, so you know what's been called. Number eight, of course, was Cadillac. Cross it off. Six was house, and 15 was kangaroo. Four was football. Seven was egg, cross them off. Twelve was consciousness, cross it off. 11 was ring, cross it off.

Five was sunlight, cross it off. 14. 14 was, girl, hold on just for a second. Let me now tell you the ones you didn't call. You didn't call number one, which was Sunday. You didn't call number one, which was Sunday. three which is lunch. He also didn't call number nine which was wristwatch. He didn't call number 13 which was hand bone and that's all of them by memory. I mean that's

pretty impressive. It's incredible. I mean it really is and I want to emphasize again even though it is impressive. It's an impressive demonstration of what can be done with a trained memory. Remember I was told I had a learning disability. This is something that everyone can do. Everyone and I know it's hard for people to believe, but once you go through the course, everyone can do that demonstration, but not just with 15 items. Everyone can do it with 100, forwards, backwards, and in and out of order. Kevin, why aren't they teaching this at schools? Well, I'll tell you an interesting story about that. I was in Chicago, and I was a little naive at the time. This is back in the 80s

when I was running and teaching the seminars live all around the world. And I went into the Chicago school system, and I offered to give this member. memory training to all of the faculty in the Chicago school system and all of the students. I said, I'll just do a series of live events. It'll take a year. It'll be millions of dollars worth of training that I will give free to the Chicago school system because I'll get massive amounts of publicity. I'll become super famous and then big corporations will pay big money to have me teach

to people. It's a win-win. The kids will do better. I'll do better. It was voted no. I was told, no, we're going to decline your offer of giving us millions of dollars worth of free memory training. And I said, why?

Well, the word was the Chicago Teacher Union said, we don't want this because if kids learned that effectively, it could potentially reduce job security for teachers. And that's a controversial subject. I know. I wasn't privy to it. That's what I heard. Nobody will ever know the truth. But the fact is, it should be taught in schools.

Wow. So you can teach this to a child. Is this something they forget when they get a little older? Or they have to keep practicing the techniques, or they remember it from now on? Yeah, and that's a good question too, because when someone says, all right, Kevin, it takes a few hours to go through the mega memory course. And we have a QR code, people can download the course, they can buy it. We offer a substantial discount if they want to go to and get the QR code today.

And it's unconditionally guaranteed. Look, I know it sounds too good to be true, but I've been teaching this for decades to tens of millions of people around the world have gone through memory improvement technology. It's past the test of time. I mean, it absolutely works. It's not even a question. But when you see the demonstrations, people still think, will it work? So it's unconditionally guaranteed.

After you go through it, if you're not thrilled, just send it back and we give you a full refund. But learning memory techniques is similar to learning how to ride a bicycle or learning how to swim. Once you learn how to ride a bike, if you haven't gone on a bike for 20 years and you get on a bike, you can still ride it. I mean, maybe you can't pop a wheelie, you know, and go no hands because it's been 30 years out of practice, but you can ride the bike. If you learned how to swim as a kid and you and I go fishing and I push you off the boat, you're not going to drown.

You're going to swim like a fish because it's a kid. It's an ability that's been released. So that's what the memory is. It's an ability that's been released. And I'll give you another interesting story. When I was in Australia, I mentioned I was traveling with General Norman Schwartzcoff and Mikhail Gorbachev and several other very successful people. There was a guy down there by the name of Renee Rifkin, who was one of the wealthiest guys

on Australia at the time, second to Kerry Packer. And I met all those guys when I was at the Prime Minister's house in Australia because I was part of the world masters of business talking about memory. I was the world's known as the world's foremost authority on memory improvement as founder of the American Memory Institute. So when I walked in, I met Renee, and Renee has an entourage of people, right? Because he's the second Richard's guy in the world, has the largest yacht in Sydney Harbor. So I went in and I met the prime minister and I was with General Schwartzcoff and I was with Kerry Packer. And I meet Renee Rifkin and I meet Nigel Littlewood and I meet Bob Burns.

And I meet a couple of his other guys. Very quickly, I mean, we're in this big cocktail party, so I didn't spend like any time with them. Two days later, I'm staying at the Ritzkarton Hotel in Double Bay. I come on the elevator and there's Renee. He happened to be in a hotel. He's in the elevator and next to him was Nigel and Bob Burns. But Bob Burns is behind Renee. I don't see him.

So I said, and I hadn't seen Renee in a week. You know, we just met briefly at that cocktail party. So I said, hey, Renee Riff from, good to see it. And I look at it. Nigel Littlewood, hey, how are you? And then Renee gets out of the way, goes, what's his name? I go, Bob Burns. You go, that's unbelievable.

That's amazing. How did you do that? But here's the point. He was impressed. Nigel was impressed. That meeting made Renee invite me to his home for dinner. We wound up doing a business deal together because he was so impressed with my memory. And that business deal resulted in over $200 million in business over the next couple years.

That's not just parlor tricks. That's real-world stuff. And it helps in relationships. It can help anybody in their relationships. It really does. So I would encourage anybody if they're watching and they want more information. They can click on the QR code. They can click on the link that's in the description or on the screen.

They can click on anything that we have available. They can get more information. and I would highly encourage a person to take advantage and get the Mega Memory Home Study course. It's a digital download. It just takes a few hours to go through and you'll be able to release your instant recall memory. And if you're not thrilled, send it back.

You can do it with your children, age 10 or above, and it doesn't matter if you're 80 and you think you're having some issues, it's going to help improve your memory guaranteed, as it has for many, many, many decades for tens of millions of people already around the world. And we're bringing it back to a new generation that are missing out. And quite frankly, because of technology, have weaker memory powers and brain power than ever before.

Yeah. Last question. Just short-term memory or long-term memory? Ah, excellent question. Long-term memory is the ability to remember something, let's say, a week or two or three down the road. That's, we call that knowledge. That goes in the knowledge bank. For example, if I say, what's your address?

You know it, okay? You learned it when you moved in, but you still know it now, so it's long term. If I would ask, what was the address at the house you grew up in? You probably still may know it or close. Some people do, some people don't. So the longer you go back, the memory can fade. Short-term memory is, I shake your hand and get your name. and as soon as the handshake breaks, the name is forgotten.

Or you walk into the room in the house and say, why did I come in here? That's short-term memory. So this helps on both. This helps on short-term as well as long-term. As a matter of fact, we have an audio that's called How to Remember Everything from Your Past. So if you go back and I can't remember my first-grade teacher. There is a technology that can help you possibly go back and recall things in your past. using the theory that you don't forget anything.

It's in the memory. It's just misfiled. It's incredible. Thanks for being my guest. Thanks for having me. And again, I would encourage people to go click on the QR code or click on any of the links, take advantage, and get mega memory. You owe to yourself, you owe it to your family.

It's something we're bringing back by the first time in many, many decades. And it's needed more today than ever before. Excellent. Kevin Trudeau, my guest, thanks for being here. Still memorable after all these years and more valuable than ever. That's it for this week. We'll see you on the next show. Have a good one until then.
