At the core of the festival, is the thrilling annual World Memory Championships, which represents one of the toughest mental tests of all time for anyone who takes part.

Here you will see competitors who are able to memorize 4,000 digit numbers and recall with absolute accuracy at least ten pack of cards in one hour.

The competitors to the World Memory Championship have some of the world's most developed minds and utilize techniques which it is believed can be learned by anyone.
