David M. Roth (1873-1971) was a professional memory expert known for his memory course.

The first magician he remembers seeing is Alexander Herrmann, in the early 1880's, at the Cincinnati Grand Opera House. His personal physician and neighbor was W. Golden Mortimer and he joined S.A.M. in April 1904, sponsored by George Heller.
