World Records for Fastest to Memorize Deck of Cards

Memorise - Memory Power

Can you imagine memorizing a deck of cards in 21 seconds? This means that a shuffled deck of cards is placed in front of you and when the judge says, ‘go’ you pick up the cards and look through them in 21 seconds and then set them down. Then you grab another deck of cards and have 5 minutes to assemble that deck to match the 1st. Sound too insane to be true? Well it is true Simon Reinhard has done just that setting the world record for the fastest to memorize a single deck of playing cards in 2011. To see the history of this record here is a chart

Here is a video of Ben Pridmore setting this record in 2009 at 24.97 seconds
