This video clip shows George Tait performing the Knight's Tour, with a mind-reading twist. He starts by having Patrick Miller, the chess expert in the clip, think of a number from 1 to 64. George then proceeds to perform the Knight's Tour, finishing on the thought-of square!

This= clip is actually just one segment of episode 1 of Mind Tapped, his half-hour special series. You can see episodes 2 and 3 on George Tait's media page.

From the response to the first videos, it looks as though he is planning to make more Memorization Course videos, so I'll keep this playlist updated the new lessons are posted.
