LONG NUMBER MEMORY SYSTEM
In order to remember this almost 'impossibly long' number, all
you now have to do is to use the Basic Link System, making the
words into a simple and imaginative little story. For example, you
could imagine a brilliant, rainbow-coloured ball bouncing with a
loud boing off the head of a gigantic and beautifully coloured, fish
that had just fought its way out of a very tangled and dripping-wet
net, which was slowly collapsing to the base level of a pier, where it
wrapped itself around a man, wearing a fawn-coloured and wind-
blown mac, just as he was bending over to pick up the key, which
had dropped onto the pier with a loud clang.
At the end of this paragraph close your eyes and re-envision the
little story. Now, recalling the Key Image Words, transform them
into the numbers, and you will get:
b—9
1—5
f—8
sh—6
n—2
t—1
b—9
s—0
m—3
c—7
k—7

It is not essential to remember long numbers using only groups of
two. It is just as easy, and sometimes even more easy, to consider
the numbers in subgroups of three. Try this with the number
851429730584. It is composed of:
851—Fault
429—Rainbow
730—Cameos
584—Lever
In order to remember this number, which is even longer than the
previous one, it is once again a matter of using your Basic Link
System to make up a single little image story using your Basic Key
Image Words. Using your right-brain imagination, you can
imagine some gigantic universal force that could cause a break or a
fault in beautiful and shimmering rainbow- coloured cameos, which
were so heavy they needed a gigantic lever to move them. Once
again, at the end of this paragraph, close your eyes and refilm the
