I convinced myself I had this ability my FR year of college.  Read like 100 pages of a chemistry text book to cram for a test. 

I did not have this ability.  Looking at the page and reading the page are two entirely different things.  :flush:

same.  tried.  didn't work.  i guess it could work though if you don't have to take a test afterwards since you could just pretend to know/remember what you read.

It only works if you move your hand back and forth across the page like the dude on tv.
