Feel free to try it. You can memorize a deck of cards in a similar fashion.

It's the slow gain and constant repetition. If I told you to remember a few hundred items... You can't do it.

If if I told you to remember one, you can. You are only ever adding one additional item after reciting or hearing all of the previous ones.

It's no different than learning a prayer or song.
