I have used the Major System to memories packs of cards, books and anything else I felt I wanted to. And just to blow my trumpet a little I have used it succesfully in memorising lists of up to 300 items. I haven't gone much beyond that though.
Once I memorised the basics of the system I found it was virtually impossible to forget it and from there I was able to memorise whatever I needed to. I used a book by Tony Buzan to get to grips with the basics. If the link below does not work check it out on Amazon by all means
