Creighton Carvello was a British mnemonist. Carvello was born in Patna, Bihar, India but lived in the UK from 1949 until his death. His first World Record for memory was in 1979 when he recited the first 20,013 places of pi. In 1987 he appeared on the BBC television programme Record Breakers, memorising one shuffled deck of cards in 2 minutes 59 seconds. It was this feat of memory which first inspired Dominic O'Brien, who later went on to gain the title of World Memory Champion eight times.
