shaper system perfect.
Looks like people are trying to do the idea I had which is attach a person to the image.
For example, 13 for me is a trident (flip the 3 on top of the 1). When I think of a trident I think of Aquaman.
15 is wheel chair. Professor X.
17 is harp. Punisher.
06 golf ball and club. Tiger Woods.
01 is shield and spear. Spartan warrior.
07 is megaphone. Commissioner Gordon.
I donāt think it will work in the end though.

Great imagination!
With me itās Snowman Sweeping the floor/NextObject
But I like your 18 too 
has anyone made PAO list with this system? feel free to share
@Erol also some numbers was hard to figure out or visualize without the pictures i have seen posted here in these comments (e.g. : 47 \ 62 \ 92 ā¦etc ) so i suggest that the page at ( https://artofmemory.com/wiki/The_Shaper_System ) get updated with pictures of the numbers or at least give description of the numbers.
and well done on this system ,itās what i was looking for. easy, and learnable to anyone , and could be used in tuition and memorising each number indivudiy without bother to explain the system like other systems.

Yes. With these images it is more than possible to create a PAO, or PA, or simply OO, and OA.

Yes you are right, I totally understand. There is a logic behind it. Without showing how the shape of the digits are converted into images may be hard for a few of them. I plan to do a video tutorial on the shapes/images because the shapes are just associated with the digits, however, itās a little different method when used.
Iām not sure if we can update the Wiki page with the images, but as I said I will be doing a full tutorial on it, and will post it either here or as a new thread.
Thank you!
Yes, that was the idea. I had some issues with Persons and their objects, because most of them didnt have any that I could use. I tried to mix and match with the Major and Dominic together but with no success. So when I did the shaper images, it didnāt need any phonetics or any translations. Itās simple, fairly easy, has its own actions, and I believe it can be learned in a weekend, so itās kind of a system in a box.
I use the shapes to generate thye images, I also have real images that matches the shapes, so I donāt use the drawing version of it. Itās used with real images and with itās modified images, such as 34 is a Goat, but a Glass of goatās Milk is used instead but the image and its action, simply because it is associated with goat, and when I think of Goat, I think of goatās milk which has an nice action of pouring over the next object, and leaves a clue of milk running down.
I will work on the tutorial for images soon, so itāll be easier for people to see and use.
Welcome to the forum,and thank you for your interest.

Iām doing a category PAO where most of my people, or objects I associate with people, are based on number shapes.
For example, 00-09 are Lord of the Ring characters because the ā0ā looks like a ring. For example, 07 is Legolas because the 7 looks like a pointy elf ear or bow (which Legolas uses). 10-19 are Jedi. The first number (1) is a lightsaber. 14 is Darth Vader because the ā4ā reminded me of the front of Vaderās mask. Or 10 is Mace Windu because the ā0ā reminds me of his bald head.
Stuff like that.

Thank you mohamed.
I use the shaper methods. Object Action Paired Linking for numbers, cards with loci. For images I also use the shape method but with no locis. Names I also have a method using the shape images also as well the usual methods.
If you need more info, you can always ask me here, or send me a message.
Iām working on a tutorial, and getting the materials ready so itās taking a while, when ready I will post it here too.
Thank you for your interest.
You are a distinguished teacher and I wait for your training program with great passion. You inspired me in most of the numbers and I also added from my memory. Finally, thank you my distinguished teacher

Why donāt you use PAO, Erol?

I thought about it, I may actually use it in the future, but itās just a personal choice I choose to use OA. The shapes/images are much better suited to OA, amd I find it much easier than pao.
When I created all the images from the shapes, I thought of using it with my Persons, and It became a kind of Sha-Per-son. However It didnāt match the personās natural object, and I was getting confused with my previous PA. My persons was doing the action of the object, and it just didnāt much make a difference because there was just too many persons I had to memorise most of which didnāt involve the objects because of the actions. So I thought of another way of using the Persons which was to make the person use the object to do an action. This worked well, however it was taking me longer to memorise when competing in ML.
When I created the actions for each two digit number, it was by magic they all suited perfectly to OA, because most of them have their own natural actions, and for the ones that didnāt, I simply created it by using a few of the paired linking methods that I also discovered while doing so. In Total I have ā10 different methods of paired linkingā which works perfectly with objects rather than person objects. This also allowed me to be more creative with objects and its actions, and I find it more fun and joy, therefore more memorable.
Using the persons, It didnāt have any fun or joy in it, it was just person using an object. It was just by force, not by joyce. Because I usually remember much better and faster if the paired link is somehow funny and laughable, and it was with using Objects Actions linkages.
Let me give you an example;
One of the paired linking methods I use in the Shaper system is to āGive It A Lifeā
-
Imagine an Egg in its normal state.
-
Now imagine that the Egg pops out Two Arms, Two Hands, Two Legs & Feet. We gave it a life.
-
Now it can move and do an action as a person, because itās transformed into an Egg Character.
-
From then on I can choose and use from the other 9 methods to make the paired link. This then looks so funny because itās obviously not lifelike to see an Egg with arms and legs.
-
Here the Egg does not have to have any facial features, whereas a person has to be recognized.
So this is a part of the method of this system I use, works perfect every time.
It works with number digits, image memorising, cards, and I also have a method for names & faces using the shaper system, surprisingly it works very well.
With competing, itās just a matter of practicing the paired link methods which I have not yet disclosed.
