M2M Day 14: I memorize again on video, am surprisingly fast, and make no mistakes

This post is part of Month to Master, a 12-month accelerated learning project. For November, my goal is to memorize the order of a shuffled deck of cards in less than 2 minutes.

Yesterday, after reworking my recall strategy, I filmed a memorization attempt, and successfully memorized the entire deck in 2:34 — only 34 seconds off my target time. I made no mistakes during recall.

I have 16 days to shave those remaining 34 seconds off my time, which I’m feeling pretty confident about (although each second is becoming harder and harder to eliminate).

Here’s the video in it’s entirety. It’s pretty long, so here are some important times: I start memorizing at 0:24, finish memorizing (and start recalling) at 2:59, finish recalling (and start checking) at 11:38.
