Memorise playing cards

It is the same procedure we already used for the discipline numbers: We have to transform each single card into a picture.
In this case it is helpful to divide the four "colours" in categories.

Colour Category Explanation
Karo Circus a rhomb on the clown's costume
Herz human being every human being has a heart
Pik Nature spades is similar to a leafe.
Kreuz church and court the cross is the symbol of the church

Now the numbers of the cards have to be transformed into images. Here is one example: in a circus, 8 is similar to beanbag (8 of Diamonds), for human beings,, 8 is similar to a pair of glasses (8 of Hearts), in nature it is similar to a snowman (8 of Spades) and at the court, 8 is similar to handcuffs (8 of Clubs). The Court cards (knave, queen, king) are considered as persons. The knave is always very young and kittenish, the queen is a woman and the king is a man.

This is my proposal for the card system. During training, you will see these pictures if you place a hook at "assistance". This is very helpful at the beginning! Step by step you can create your own system under "My memocamp".

When it comes to the memorisation procedure, you need a "journey" and the card images. Note: The journey is always in the same order and the images of the cards always have the same meaning! The first card is located on the first journey point.

Here is an example:
We need our "Samplehousejourney" for the memorisation process. The first journey point is stove. If the first card is 6 of Spades, we link the snake to the stove.Now we have to make a little story out of it. The snake lives on the stove. It is always very cold and therefore the stove must be on medium temperature. If the temperature is too high, our snake starts sizzling. So you have to be careful with the temperature.

Memorise playing cards: Playing cards sprint

The aim is to memorise a 52 card deck (Poker, Rommé, Canasta) as quickly as possible. For the discipline speed cards, the time limit is 5 minutes. If you finish earlier, the time will be taken into consideration. To recall the order of the cards, you will get a second deck of cards you have to put in the same order as the first deck of cards. You will have 5 minutes. To facilitate the procedure at the beginning, there are different levels according to your personal training level. You will have 3 cards at the beginning and up to 52 cards in the end. Then the time limit will be reduced. You will find a list with the different levels below.

The evaluation is based on competition rules, meaning that everything is taken into consideration until the first error. If you memorised 30 cards but you made a mistake at card 12, only 11 cards are taken into consideration. If a mistake is made, the time of memorisation will be increased to 5 minutes, even if you only needed 2 minutes.

For the advanced levels and championship participants, there are also the following disciplines: Memorising cards for 10, 30 and 60 minutes. This disciplines are part of the German Memory Championship and the World Memory Championship.
