It actually has nothing to do with Einstein. It is written by a reporter who was tasked with covering a memorization tournament. He got interested after interviewing the contestants and started trying it out on his own. He then came back the next year and won the tournament. It is written very much from a layman's perspective. The phrase "moonwalking with Einstein" is an example of one of the memorization techniques.
