    Worst “trick” I have tried to use is for people who have the same name as me, or my brother, or someone other person who is very close to me: “oh great, that’s my name too! Now I won’t have to remember a new one!”. We laugh and high five.

    Of course, then I don’t retain any association with their face and it fails spectacularly next time I see them.

    I find it’s best to just acknowledge it in a jokey way. “hey good to see you again but I have no long term memory, tell me your name again?”… “Jim”… “ok hi Jim, I look forward to having this conversation again next time. How’s life?”
