I bet he has it in a book. He probably has a file on all of us.

Oooh! Console, Private Eye!

Nope, no books, no files; just an incredible ability to remember almost completely useless and pointless information.

[Yudster]

Console, would you say that you have, or have you ever encountered anyone who has got, a photographic memory?

[Console]

No - as far as I'm aware, anyway.

[Yudster]

Has anybody? Does a "photographic memory" as most of us understand it actually exist? I have heard of people with incredibly detailed recall of certain types of information, going back decades (there was an interesting article in New Scientist a few weeks ago about it), but thats not what I mean - the ability to look at something, to read a page and absolutely remember it completely - does that exist?

[TIAL]

Derren Brown claims to have a photographic memory - if it's true then he has a very impressive skill.

He does also claim to use illusion though, so who knows.

Derren Brown has a lot of impressive skills, regardless of whether or not he has a photographic memory though.

Wikipedia's page on 'Photographic memory' redirects to 'Eidetic memory':

Eidetic memory can have a very different meaning for memory experts who use the picture elicitation method to detect it. Eidetic memory as observed in children is typified by the ability of an individual to study an image for approximately 30 seconds, and maintain a nearly perfect photographic memory of that image for a short time once it has been removed--indeed such eidetikers claim to "see" the image on the blank canvas as vividly and in as perfect detail as if it were still there.

Although many adults demonstrate extraordinary memory abilities, it is unknown whether true eidetic memory can persist into adulthood. While many famous artists and composers (Claude Monet and Mozart) are commonly thought to have had eidetic memory, it is possible that their memories simply became highly trained in their respective fields of art, as they each devoted large portions of their waking hours towards the improvement of their abilities. Such a focus on their individual arts most likely improved the relevant parts of their memory, which may account for their surprising abilities.

I particularly found the snippet about this fella interesting:

Stephen Wiltshire, MBE, is a prodigious savant, capable of drawing the entire skyline of a city after a helicopter ride.

Console as new world ruler!!

[Andy B]

Oi! That's MY job! and don't any of you forget it!

[Vivienne]

Your job, my arse!! And where's ma pressie, ya bass?

[Andy B]

It's coming..I've got the pressie...and the packaging and stamps...I just need to actually apply the three together.....now where did I put your address?

I can't be bothered to take it to the post office to work out how much it'll cost so I'll probably just stick a whole book of stamps on it, that should be enough.

[Vivienne]

OK.. I was just kidding you on (as usual), btw. I'm very grateful indeed.

[DevilsDuck]

I dont know if anyone else saw it, but when i was at school we where shown a film about autistic children

one of the kids could be taken to see a hospital from the outside, then he drew it in detail, but it was back to front

it also showed the kid who you could give any date and he would tell you what day it was instantly! e.g. its a monday etc etc

Well tom, if you're going to do that anywhere, in the middle of one of Viv's ridiculous threads is as good a place as any.

Chris, you have spelt a couple of things wrong on that last comment, Please try and keep your spelling and grammar up to a certain level. I'm really not bothered what you think about my show, If at the age of 13 i can my own show with listening figures of 20 000 i think the least you can do is give me a little bit of respect ! Please consider how you actions affect other people ! Screw You

[Chris]

Well I can my own forum, so there.
