What random thing do you wish you could do?

[Fake Passport]

So, I'm hoping its not just me, but I have a bunch of things that I would love to be able to do. These things are totally within my grasp, but for whatever reason I haven't got around to doing.

- Lockpicking
This makes me sound much more dodgy than I really am, but I reckon it would be a fun little skill to be able to pick locks.

- Memorise a random deck of cards
And master the broader mind palace technique. This is a common test of memory. This stems from the fact that as a kid (pre mobiles) I used to be a walking telephone directory. I had a kanck. Grew up in a town of a couple hundred households and everyone would know my number because I knew everyone's number. Now I cant remember a phone number to save my life.

So, what is something random, some skill, you would like to be able to do?

WWE child. You'd think it is something that You learn overtime, but You are born with it, moulded by it. You can't settle for anything less than being a champion, the ultimate goal is to main-event WrestleMania.

Too bad never gonna happen.

I wish I could bat well enough to go in earlier.

I wish my ironing was done for me.

Memorise a pack of cards..

Ok so there is a little trick you can try out.

Just take 6 cards to start with to get yourself use to it. Now each card has to have something which you can relate too, something familiar.

So for an example will use actors.

Ok, the first random card out of the 6 is I don’t know king of hearts. So you say over to yourself the king of hearts is now Daniel Craig until you associate them both together. The next card is 4 of clubs so we will assign the 4 of clubs as Pierce Brosnan. The next card whatever it may be…. Is Timothy Dalton.

The connection all have been actors who have played James Bond, working back over. So then if you assigned all 6 cards and put them in order starting with the king of hearts first on top, turned over. You should be able to say….Daniel Craig was… and the card should and should come to back to memory.

Now ok, not very impressive with only 6 cards, you just apply it to all 52 and it works! If you didn’t understand I will apologise in advance.

Note
Just don’t shuffle the cards unless you can make it look like you did without actually shuffling the cards, yes. It’s a neat party trick.
