The goal of any memory course isn't to be able to do a deck of cards in a minute but to be use the technique with information in daily life.
That a different problem.

Middleterm memory that you need to memorize something for a few minutes is also something different than longterm memory.

If you simply want the theory behind pmemory you get it by reading their ebook. They actually sell a course that intents to tech memorisation that you will be able to use in daily life.
I did and their lessons up to 59 as well as the extras. ^,^ anyway that was my previous post, if you read my later post I'm commenting on the system and I found it to be exactly alike with the ones that tony buzan or dominic o'brien or even paul sheele is selling on the market.

The difference is it has loads of memory exercises which commit to the memory of the person what they need to learn.

To say it's a new way to memorize? No it is not. To say it is ineffective, it is effective. To say it applies on real life? The system used by Dominic Obrien and Buzan are similar to their system which are applicable in real life too.

The buzan course happens to be a course where you go to Tony Buzan for a day and he tries to teach you how to work with your memory in a crash course.
The pmemory course happens to be an online course.
Online course != crash course
I guess that's the difference (packaging) but i was referring to the techniques used and methods taught. The basics were the same and so were the principles. Pmemory explained some points more than dominic or buzan, but on some points it made somethings more complicated.

Still, like I said, I tried it, tested it and compared it. It's similar it's not different or original, what makes it great is only that it has wonderful exercises which tony buzan or dominic o'brien failed to put on their book.
