Bruno Furst created a number of memory improvement courses and You Can Remember! is one of the most famous.We use cookies and similar tools that are necessary to enable you to make purchases, to enhance your shopping experiences and to provide our services, as detailed in our Cookie Notice. He was a German lawyer and his full name was Johann Franz Bruno Fürst. 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.
It’s impossible to know, but I personally find it hard not to think about one of the most famous memory teachers, Giordano Bruno. 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. Given that this Bruno Furst fled Germany after Hitler came to power, this idea that he may have changed his name is plausible. The only Wikipedia page about him is in French and the New Yorker has their article about him locked in an archive. 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. There is no perfect place to start learning memory techniques.īut I feel that Dr. Furst uses the terminology of his era: The Memory Checkroom.įurst made the best possible choice by starting where I also introduce students to the art of memory, with the Memory Palace technique. Instead of calling each stop in the Memory Palace a “Magnetic Station,” he talks about coat hooks, each with a number. So that you can remember the numbers of each “hook,” you learn the Major System. The session concludes with a test of how you interact your different hooks with daily chores.
Session 2:įurst extends the Major System in this session and helps you extend it to three digits.
