you can be brilliant in playing cards,,,,,,,,

My hostel life made me good card player.I get much ideas in it through these years.Memorizing the cards is very important in card playing.If we can memorise the cards that are played and not played be good card player. It is also a good party trick!There are 3 basic steps involved;
1.Creating Card Images
2.Memorizing the images in a memory technique
3.Recalling the cards
Firstly we need to create images for each card so that they mean something. This means you will have 52 images for 52 playing cards. For example the 7 of Diamonds can be a "Dog", or the Ace of Spades a "Hat". From this we attach images and meanings to a memory technique and then voila! - playing cards memorized. You can create any image for each card, however it will be harder to memorize and recall.The simplest method is to use the Major System to create your card images. The Major System helps you to remember which image a card was by working phonetically to encode the card. We will go through the Major System later in the course.
Below is a matrix of all 52 images associated to the cards created by the use of the Major System. Note that the King cards are images of the suit. You can feel free to make up your own images.
memorizing the above shouldn't be too hard as it is worked out phonetically from the Major System. For example, 9 of Clubs = CAP. Clubs = "C" or "K" sound and 9 = P in the Major System. Hence we have "CP". We can use Cap, Cape, Captain, Caption, you get the drift.So all you need to do is look at the card and encode the image using the matrix. Once you have done this for all 52 cards you are ready to memorize them!
Okay so we have our 52 images. The next step is to create a story or a bunch of links from those images. Let's take the 5 cards as an example:
8D, 4H, 7C, KS, 9S
These cards associated images from the Card Matrix are:
8D = DAFFY 4H = HAIR 7C = CAR KS = SPADE 9S = SOAP
Just imagine DAFFY duck pulling on your HAIR. He lets go and you go flying backwards toward a CAR. This is no ordinary car as it is a Ferrari, so the owner comes out with a SPADE and starts to chase you with a huge SOAP!My 5 cards above are highlighted in capital letters and used in a story. Look away and see if you can remember the story and the cards that is it associated with. Once you have done that the next challenge is to try making a story for all the 52 cards!

The journey system is a powerful technique for remembering. It is based upon remembering locations or objects in a journey and associating the items to be memorized, to the locations in your journey.
An example of a journey could be one around your house. The Living room being one stop, the Kitchen being the next, Bedroom, Bathroom, Backyard, and so on. You can have many journeys and as many locations in each journey as you like.
As you are making up your stories try to relax, do not rush anything, take as much time as you can. The more detail you imagine while developing your story, the easier it will be to remember. Use your senses to touch, smell, hear, see, and taste the item to be remembered. Try picturing the item as being extremely big, maybe even as big as the universe. Imagination is endless.
