  • Ben Pridmore is the current World Memory Champion, a title he also won in 2004, from Derby, United Kingdom. He achieved this by winning a ten-discipline competition, the World Memory Championship, which has taken place every year since 1991. He also holds the official world record for memorizing the order of a randomly shuffled 52-card deck, and has memorised a pack in a time of 24.68 seconds on television. At the moment he is ranked as number one of the world ranking list for Memory Sports. Besides memory sports he is famous for his mental calculation skills and took part in the Mental Calculation World Cup in 2004 and 2006. Like most memory experts, he creates a mental story, comprises a sequence of images that he has permanently memorised as representing number groups, playing card pairs etc. Pridmore often envisages a story around his old school, Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Horncastle as the framework for these memory sequences.
