Think of a walk you know well, home to school, or the shops, that kind of thing.
Memorise each item as one of the features on the walk........Cross the Road (button) pick up the button. Down the path (rubberband) that bends to the right.....
Well, it's how I do it

Cheers for the replies guys. Im into Derren Brown and i also have quite a few memory books so know about linking, pegging etc.
Im after the specific technique used for Kims game, ie, say 10 household items on a tray, view tray, then cover tray, remove something or nothing for that matter... whats missing.
The only thing i can think is to count the itmes every time

Paul,
Do you play Kims game a lot?
How many items do you normally play with?
Not related but you may also ( if you haven;t already ) look at these games , which helps to build perceptional skills.

My problem; I would like to find a "solitaire" version. Anyone know of a way to play it that when alone?
Could you not use a deck of cards?
Shuffle pack , deal out say 12 cards , 2 mins to memorize them , turn them over , reshuffle the 12 cards remove one/two face down , turn the remaining pack back facing up then write down which two cards are missing?
Not exactly the same.
I guess could also be done with coloured pebbles or marbles in a bag.

But hey thats after reading the book once! It turns all the names into characters - all birds in the story are a HENry, all willians are BILLY goats ect. It would take weeks to learn that by repetition the way school taught us to learn.

Hmm, good ideas, and with the cards one could get not only identity but also order (which ones misses with the small items in bag version).
I've played a version with nature pictures; what info is there to be gained from it. Location, season, time of day, directions, notable plants, features, etc. Most likely camp spot, etc... But that misses the memory aspects.
One day I'll start seriously programming on a "computer solitaire" version: throws up a few pictures, numbers, etc in a grid (variable size), and you then have to indicate which ones are where in each grid, scored based on proportion correct.
