I think a huge part of mnemonic devices is that it's "just" active memorization - something a lot of people do. Iirc, when researched, people using these tricks did not do any better than people using flashcards and repetition. Thought that might be different for memory competition with people memorizing a 1000 places of pi, a carddeck, etc.
