I laugh so much at that.
Grabs JOHN by the head - planting both his hands on his friend’s skull.
JOHN:Hey - Sherlock! What you doing?
SHERLOCK:Shush, John. I need you to concentrate. Shut your eyes!
JOHN: What? What for? What you doing?
He clamps JOHN’S arms to his sides - spins round with him, trying to induce a trance-like state.
SHERLOCK: I need you to maximise your visual memory. Try to picture it. Picture what you saw. Can you remember it?
JOHN : Sure. Yeah.
SHERLOCK: You can remember the pattern?
JOHN: Yes, definitely.
SHERLOCK:How much can you remember?
JOHN: Look, don’t worry...
SHERLOCK: Because the average visual memory is only sixty-two per cent accurate.
JOHN: Oh, well I remember all of it.
SHERLOCK: Really?
JOHN: At least I will if I can get to my pockets. I took a photograph.
The look on Sherlock's face - priceless.

Yeah, I love that bit too. I especially love Sherlock's "really?", something about the way he says that line just makes me laugh.

Well as usual he was being so clever, ready to do this amazing 'memory grabbing' thing and John out does him with a simple phone.

Oh, I love that scene! I have just watched 'The Blind Banker' and that scene always makes me laugh a lot. Sherlock seems so surprised at the fact that John is clever enough to take a photograph of the cipher.

yeah, poor Sherlock is one-upped by smart John!! (or a phone-- take your pick)

John's phone has an amazing flash to take such a good photo of the graffiti.

Yeah. I don't think it's that believable, but it is funny. Very similar to Sherlock trying to deduce where the two couriers were going, when John has it written right there in the notebook.

It goes some way towards making amends for poor Joh. Being called an idiot by Sherlock doesn't it.
