I think you would enjoy the book Moonwalking With Einstein. The author is a journalist who's interested in memory competitions and while interviewing he ends up training with these people. Of course, learning that these are skills that surprisingly most people can lean. I think it's really eye opening into what we can do. The guy trains a year and wins the US competition, moving on to represent the US in a world competition. I think anyone would be impressed if you saw someone memorize a deck of cards in under 2 minutes. But maybe the most astonishing thing is that we are all capable of this but very few can. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonwalking_with_Einstein https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonwalking_with_Einstein
