This particular evening, Harry was more or less out of tricks that Jory hadn’t seen, so he did a memory trick for him. A well known actor at the time, Victor Jory, had seen him perform over a period of several weeks, and was very impressed. To go back to the start, Harry had been performing table magic in a club, going from one table to the next, performing close up card tricks, while still a young man. Over the years he hasn’t just performed magic, he’s written dozens of books on the subject, many of them detailing the very tricks he’s invented.īest of Friends, Harry Lorayne’s Special Effects, The Magic Book, Close-up Card Magic, My Favourite Card Tricks, and Deck-Sterity. Yes, he’s a magician too, in case you weren’t aware of it! And phenomenally good at close-up card magic, as a matter of fact, and revered by his peers as a great innovator. In fact, he had his own television show in the early 1950s! He’s in his eighties now and most (if not all) of the memory performers and magic acts would admit that they owe most of what they’ve learned over the years to Harry Lorayne.
Harry Lorayne, the man who was called “The Yoda of Memory Training” by Time magazine, had been studying memory and performing in front of audiences for way over sixty years.

He can be introduced to an audience of up to 500 people and be ready, at a moment’s notice, to reel off the full name of any one of them. Put him in a situation where he needs to use his memory and you will be amazed at the transformation. When he’s not using his memory systems his memory is no better than yours or mine (that’s in his own words!), but he has a trained memory, and that makes all the difference. Harry Lorayne is a memory phenomenon, a living legend, simple as that. Harry Lorayne, the ‘Yoda’ of memory training
