You must remember that these people are out to make money off people willing to believe their tripe about teaching yourself a photographic memory.
I've always wished I could have a brilliant memory, be able to read entire novels and textbooks in a matter of hours and understanding it would be on a degree of brilliance for me like having a superpower akin to invisibility or walking through walls - but unfortunately it can't happen.
Improving your study technique is a good thing to think about, as many people have very bad study habits that don't lead to a great deal of learning that will stick in the long-term mind.
I would recommend, personally, trying as many different techniques as you can find and seeing what suits you best, as I don't think there's a universal system of study which suits everyone.
