I am really amazing how he can remember the Oxford dic in less than 20 min

It's easy to have a photographic memory.It's my party trick and people always gasp in amazement when I do it.It's such fun!
All you need is a purpose, ie: I want a photographic memory because...(your reason)

My purposes for a photographic memory could be:

~ I want to photographically remember this whole book so I can impress my friends with my ability to recall any line they test me to recall.

Or whatever your reason is! It really is all about purpose.When you are at one with your purpose then you'll really surprise yourself.

Personally for many books I don't set my purpose to photographically remember the whole of the book, because remembering everything word for word is just like conventional reading, which as we know as photoreaders, is not the best way to deal with most books.For books on poetry, it can be good to conventionally read the words so one can really appreciate how the words make one feel.
For books that contain many facts that you will need to recall, it is good to set a purpose of, for example: I want to photographically remember all the words on page 170 of my book on french, because I will be tested to recall that whole page word for word.

It's just about getting your purpose lined up with your end goal.Be aware of whether you're lined up or not, for that is the only single thing that determines whether you succeed or not.It really is remarkably simple and easy once you've got that sorted.

As always, have fun with it!

Thank you very much flex22 for your guidance, and i will try to do so .

@flex22: How do you experience recalling the book?

Do you have a kind of photograph of every page in your mind or is it more like if someone says: "What's the third word in the sixth line on page 151?"
and the word comes into your mind?

Hi Maxzoil.

Photoreading is not about developing a photographic memory.Photoreading is about having the book operating or working on both a conscious and other than conscious level. Photoreading engages both the right and left brain whereas traditional reading only engages the left brain. You have probably read or heard the term the photoreading whole mind system. That is because photoreading employs the use of both left and right brain.

Do a search on this website for photographic memory. It has been addressed many times before. I know that we get new people who have not seen the posts so the search will help you.

Another thing i have heard is that photographic memory can be more of a hindrance than a help.

You're right.
My comment was an impulsive reaction to your post.
I thought: "How does this work?" and so on and just wrote my thoughts down.

Meanwhile I've tried it out myself with a few books, one of them "Hamlet" and even though I wasn't able to recite from it yet, I know that I will be able to do it once I've built up my confidence with activation.

I wonder, if Paul Scheele knows what a great and powerful system he created.

Derren Brown has admitted that that video was a set up and he didn't actually demonstrate a photographic memory. If you watch the video you will notice that there are too many changes in camera angle showing that the action was cut. There is no cameraman behind either of them and yet the angles show that there should be.

PhotoReading goes beyond a photographic memory. Like already said, A photographic memory is still reading slowly word for word. It's pointless saving that for later. PhotoReading allows you to process the information and put it to use. Play with Direct Learning and you'll see photographic memory in action. It's won't let you say what the third word on the 169th page of a book is. It will allow you to develop skills at a much faster rate than slow reading does.
