alphabet. I don't think that any of the others need any ex-
plaining.
You must learn all these words thoroughly before you
can present this feat for your friends. After you've learned
them, practice the transposing of the associated words or
phrases into numbers. Once you can do that quickly, you're
ready to present the feat.
You can have the list printed on a card, if you like, so
that you can hand them out to your friends. Then after
you've demonstrated your fabulous powers of retention and
recall, you can let them keep the card as a souvenir. Let
them try to memorize it, if they can!
Aside from simply allowing your spectators to call the
letter and number, you can go further. They can ask you
to call out all the numbers diagonally from, say, A1 to J10.
All you have to do, is give the numbers for A1, B2, C3, D4,
etc. They might ask for row F backwards—you just give
them F10, F0, F8, etc. If they want the four digit numbers
backwards also, you can do that too. For example, you know
the associated word for F10 (fuse) is blend—instead of
giving the number 9521, give it as 1259! F9 is fibbing—
backwards the number is 7298, and so on.
If you're asked to give row #6 backwards, simply call off,
J6, I6, H6, G6 down, or up, to A6. I know that it is difficult
for some people to work backwards with the alphabet. I
can solve that problem for you, easily. You can learn the
representative number of any letter in the alphabet by uti-
lizing the first twenty-six peg words in conjunction with a
representative adjective. This is what I mean:—
