Harry Lorayne (born 1926) is a memory-training specialist and magician who has been called "The Yoda of Memory Training" by Time magazine. He is well known for his mnemonic demonstrations and has appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. [1] His book The Memory Book was a New York Times bestseller.
Lorayne is a notable figure in the card magic world and has published several books and videos on the topic. He is a writer of technical literature for magicians and has a clear and informal writing style.Magic magazine May 1999 included him in a list of the 100 most influential magicians of the 20th century.
For twenty years, Lorayne wrote and published the magazine Apocalypse. His latest book for magicians is Lorayne: The Classic Collection, an updated collection of his first four magic books of the 1960s.
Mr. Lorayne is generally considered in magic circles to be a living legend. His card magic, especially his innovations in card sleights, are still widely used by professional magicians to this day.
Lorayne has also coauthored The Memory Book with basketball star Jerry Lucas.
To demonstrate his memory, Harry Lorayne would stand beside the president of the club he was visiting and be introduced to each member. The number of members of a club could reach up to 1,500. After an hour and a half, Lorayne would speak about memory for about 20 minutes and then ask if anyone had a question. He promised that he would pay any questioner whose name he could not remember a thousand dollars. He always remembered the names of every member of the audience.[citation needed] Lorayne also made news by memorizing and recalling information from several phone books with no errors.
In 1961, Lorayne published a book called Secrets of Mind Power. The book tells readers how to improve their thinking skills for success. The book gained many avid readers, including a few celebrities.[citation needed] In Chronicles, Volume 1, Bob Dylan writes that he read Lorayne's book shortly before breaking through as a music star after finding it in the book collection of a friend.
In 2007, Lorayne published Ageless Memory, which he called his legacy book.

Here is my MI profile (:
Interpersonal
This area has to do with interaction with others. In theory, people who have a high interpersonal intelligence tend to be extroverts, characterized by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations, and their ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group. They communicate effectively and empathize easily with others, and may be either leaders or followers. They typically learn best by working with others and often enjoy discussion and debate.
Careers that suit those with this intelligence include sales, politicians, managers, teachers, and social workers.
Logical-mathematical
This area has to do with logic, abstractions, reasoning, and numbers. While it is often assumed that those with this intelligence naturally excel in mathematics, chess, computer programming and other logical or numerical activities, a more accurate definition places emphasis on traditional mathematical ability and more reasoning capabilities, abstract patterns of recognition, scientific thinking and investigation, and the ability to perform complex calculations. It correlates strongly with traditional concepts of "intelligence" or IQ.
Careers which suit those with this intelligence include scientists, mathematicians, engineers, doctors and economists.
I feel that these results are rather accurate ( math scores not really that bad and being a councillor(: )
I would work on these areas and try to improve on my weakest areas (naturalist - try to save the earth)
