This is a much more sophisticated technique that the mnemonic. It works by having a numbered list of objects and uses rhyme to jog your memory.

For example 1, gun; 2, shoe. You then associated the object with the name of the state and or capital you want to learn in an interesting way. Humor and shock works well. You go through each number and its rhyme brings back the object and you see in your imagination the little scene you have link them to.
