The World Memory Championships by David Vintiner

Recall by David Vintiner

The Mind Sport of Memory

Three words…World Memory Championships. London-based photographer David Vintiner just launched his latest photographic series project entitled, Recall. I was totally unaware that this type of competition existed in the world and I’m grateful to Vintiner’s new work for shedding light on this. I used to pride myself a little on having a sharp memory bank, but seeing the lengths these contestants go through is mind boggling. Want to be a Grand Master of Memory? Memorize the order of 520 cards (10 complete packs) in one hour, 1000 random numbers in one hour and a single deck of 52 cards in 2 minutes.
