Jimmy Magee's Memory

The Irish sports commentator Jimmy Magee was famous for his encyclopedic memory of sports facts. And not just stories he would use during commentating but he could be quizzed and was great at knowing the answers. How did he do it?


In this book he describes how he does not use mnemonic techniques like loci or memory palaces. He just had an interest in the area. And he tested himself.
