of effective thinking tools like Mind Mapping and Speed Reading in
a dynamic and ever changing operational and then business environment.
He entered and came second in the World Memory Championships

Michael
On Sky News
Not long ago
we had "Chip and Pin" day in the UK when retailers switched over
to the new "PIN number only" system for taking payments with credit
cards. Michael was invited onto SKY NEWS to give some tips and
ideas about how to remember PIN numbers. This was an excellent
opportunity to make more people aware of how to use their memory
much more effectively but in the time available (about 2 minutes)
the advice had to be kept practical and so that included "write
it down".

Michael
Memorises A Deck of Playing Cards on Live Television
In the run
up to the World Memory Championships a couple of years ago, Michael
and Tony Buzan were invited onto Channel 4's Big Breakfast to
talk about the competition and give a memory demonstration. At
the time the show was hosted by Sarah Cox and Ed Hall, both of
whom were delightful to meet and were genuinely interested (and
amazed) by memory improvement and Michael's demonstration.
Trying to memorise a deck of 52 playing cards in the middle of a
busy television studio, live as millions of people watch you on
national TV, whilst Tony is busy flirting with the oh so bubbly
female presenter was quite a challange for Michael. Still, watch
the footage and see what happens.
If ever you
meet Michael in person, ask him about the 4 of spades and why he
paused for so long and he will tell you. (Note because of a recording
problem the footage is in black and white).
