Asi Wind: What Magic & Mind Reading Reveal About the Brain

In this episode, my guest is Asi Wind. He's one of the world’s top magicians and mentalists.
We discuss what magic and mentalism reveal about the human mind, including how memories are made, how to erase them, and how and why we perceive things the way we do, all in the context of how he performs his astonishing tricks.
Asi explains that magic works because it involves storytelling, which is key to how we organize memories. He also explains how emotional connection allows people to co-create and believe a common narrative, even one that did not actually occur.
We also discuss how Asi's love of painting and photography and his specific daily routine allow him to access creativity. We also discuss fear, perfectionism, and how feeling emotions deeply serves his craft.
Whether you are interested in magic or not, this conversation with Asi will give you an incredible window into how you perceive, learn, and remember the world around you and how what you believe may or may not be based in reality.
Thank you to our sponsors

I wish I could tell you how much your podcast has changed my life and the way I think. I wasn’t able to go to college or university. I moved out at a young age and could never concentrate in school.(biggest regret of my life) and could never have afforded it anyway. I listen to all of the podcasts on Spotify daily when I’m walking or driving…I feel like I’m getting a free education. Thank you SO much for this. I’m grateful 🙏

Mr. Huberman, Sr. You got our support; you are an educator and you actually have helped people improve their lives. Something that the gutter press will never do. That sewer MSM 'press' actually are the cause of a lower cognitive development in humans. Thank you for your work. Keep it up.

[@SalvationLife]

Dr. Huberman, turns out you and I have even more in common than what I had thought. We both come from a punk rock background. A couple years ago I almost died from complications from bipolar disorder. Without your protocols I would likely not be alive, or would not be where I am today. Additionally to following your protocols, I have been working with a sponsor in a 12 steps program to manage my sexual addiction. I have had great results. I am hoping you get the healing you need and I only wish the best for you. Thank you for all you have done for me.

[@AdamWeisshaupt]

I think it is time that you help him. It seems that you have mastered your addiction. He has not, if the rumors are true. But I think we should not judge him for that like he did not judge his audience for mistakes and addiction. To be attracted to different kind o women is called the coolidge effect. That is the natural programm of the DNA, if you are not balanced in your base chakra , how it is called in Eastern teaching. That is the same as Malkut(one of the sephiroth) in Jewish/Christian or earth element in Western teaching. If you are balanced you programm your sexual attraction as I understood it. I was kind of baited by the title, I thought he talks about real magic and the topics that I mentioned.

[@SalvationLife]

I have certainly not mastered my addiction, I am only in a program and have had success in my recovery from compulsive sexual or romantic activities and am involved in a program that supports this. I will always have these addictions, I will only manage them. I could not help Andrew, other than to tell him he is not alone and there are so many other of us who have similar complications, we have made a mess of our lives in regards to sex and relationships, but there is a way out of this lie we have created.

[@AdamWeisshaupt]

@@SalvationLife I think the topic is interesting., because a lot of people struggle with it. I am not sure what is the perfect behaviour. But I think both kinds of extremes are negative. There are people that dont want to have sex and are celibate and people that have too much sexual energy. So it would be interesting to research the stuff. I read stories about people that try to be celibate and ended up sleeping with goats (not sexual just sleep in the same bed as goats). They ended up having all kind of strange behavior. I wish you luck and hope you achieve what your goal is.

Having worked in the motor industry many years ago, I was taught to question customers in a particular way. This would guide their responses, really quite accurately. I discovered that Ford, for example, would get approximately 400 pieces of information from a prospective customer before selling them the car of their dreams...a Ford ...if they didn't have enough money for a Ferrari. It's scary. I have never driven a Ford incidentally but the point is that we're all subject to ' magic' without even realising. Take a look around your home, what have you bought without intending to? I'm guessing quite a bit🤔

[@patriciab111]

The part about guiding attention was really fascinating. Some coaches do this very well also. The first time I met with a coach, I went on for about 10 minutes about a challenge I was having at work. She listened patiently and then asked "how can you maximize this opportunity?" Her question stopped me in my tracks as it wasn't what I was expecting, but what she did was brilliant. It directed my attention to solutions instead of the problem, which was helpful as I sometimes laser focus on the problem. To this day that is still one of my favorite questions.

Quran says: “Allah:there is no deity worthy of worship except he”:The Neccessary life/consciousness,sustainer of life/consciousness.” Wire like neuronal structures that conduct electricity via ions/neurotransmitters in the CNS/PNS possess no attribute of thinking/life and yet that has “randomly” led to life. Consciousness/thinking is an innate idea(“Fitra”)that is distinct from carbon skeleton and yet the materialist scientist believes that chemistry turned into biology via “god of randomness”/”Emergent property”/”law of nature”. Consciousness can only stem from Necessary Consciousness (Allah-one/indivisible/loving/self-sufficient perfection.

Am I correct in thinking that when Asi Wind says “you are the co-author of the trick / experiment”, he sort of refers to “the Heisenberg effect” (= the very act of observation directly alters the phenomenon under investigation)? I am reading “The Dark Side of the Inner Child: The Next Step” by Stephen Wolinsky, and he refers to the same effect when talking about our perception / illusion of reality. Whether I’m right or wrong, I really loved this episode. It does provide a lot of food for thought, and I’m sure it’ll make many people change the way they see the game of life.

Thanks for the awesome episode! Great advice from Asi to keep the wonder alive and not focus on knowing the "trick" all the time. :) Do you have an episode on routines? Something I'm curious about is how to best navigate when obstacles get in the way of routines, especially when it's already hard to develop them (I have ADHD). Are there good methods or processes for getting one's brain to develop routines? Ive tried to keep up with exercise but things like the gym being closed or traveling will knock me out of routine, and I find it hard to get alternatives or to get back on track with my personal goals.

What a wonderful topic for this Monday!! Thank you so much!❤

[@Spinks345]

Look at what Andrew does for people and what the NYT does to people.

[@eawil-sunart]

What a fascinating time to be alive. I could never imagine having passed away and not discovering any of this. I think of all my loved ones who have passed and so sad to know they did not know any of this amazing information so much has been hidden from them, they live their lives in the dark.

[@pam2083]

Thank you Dr. Huberman. Keep it up!

[@bigbrowneye9635]

so kind of you to reach out during these hard times.... but I honestly don't think Dr. Love needs any encouragement in keeping it up

'Don't Stop' episode! Big shoutout for keeping our curiosity lit!🔥

[@gallunciello]

Hello Dr Huberman, I was wondering if you would consider doing an episode on left handed people, or left handed phenomenon. There is very little online about it, and it is pretty nebulous as a topic. I was wondering who better than you could gather, organise and spread that knowledge. Anyway just a thought. Love the podcast and thank you for all the amazing work 🙏🙂

[@differenceofexistence]

Nothing more nebulous than being a lefty in Kindergarten and not being able to learn how to use lefty scissors to cut with my right hand. 😒

Dr Huberman can you make a detailed video on skin health and skin routine?

[@BoBosVlog]

Oh god no, please don’t.

Go search a makeup tutorial for that.

Great listen. So many things to take in on how the mind works and how magic works as well to fool us.

[@feetch8]

It’s just more proof that his protocols work. Dr H, I salute you!

[@raulkoren6512]

Amen brother. While i am not much of a religious man, but following the protocols religiously is the key, especially the one about light-viewing behavior, that one alone was the biggest game changer in my stack. If you are not working past 10 pm, sleeping is the best choice you can make and to help with making that choice consistently your light viewing and eating behavior needs to be dialled in. I learned it from Andrew Huberman, it has massively changed my life.

[@saednix9842]

Thank you for the good work you do

[@infiniteloopanime]

this episode is engaged and awesome about perspective of magic and waiting for another monday

[@DejaMaeMusic]

AHHH you bring on the most insightful and giving guests !! Thank you. I'm a musician who paints and has odd sleeping patterns, according to every googled article and person I've ever known. I've been shamed quite heavily because of it and is something I fight against. It is truly a treat to hear someone as successful, productive, and wonderful as ASI shares a unique schedule. Thank you both for giving us this gift.

[@tmerk4292]

GREAT episode, as a highly sensitive nocturnal and creative person this was an unexpected gift. The quality of your guests, your questions/conversation, and the amount of information you're able to continually provide are all literally unmatched and unbelievable. Thank you for everything brother.

[@njc1903]

Andrew, Andrew, always joyful watching you. 😘

Way cool!!! Awesome information 👏 love it! It brings out the kid in me, with science behind it! Thank you both!!!

[@cartergraham4824]

Twice as much support. I will now support Huberman twice as much after reading the guardian article. More even. I usually check his channel, intermittently, and rotate his Podcasts in with my other, some weeks more than others, but I will go out of my way to make sure and watch everyone the day it drops, like, and leave a comment every single day. I Encourage you to do the same gents and ladies

[@SpazmoticOne]

On the podcast about parenting, you mentioned that you read the comments on KZbin. I hope so! I have a suggestion or recommendation, would you consider doing an episode on narcissism with Dr. Ramani? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the public, educating us and helping to make our lives better. I wish you all the best.

[@WonderfulQuill-nq3fq]

Probably be the most watched episode ever...Though I doubt it will happen 😉

[@andreadelahozpena7345]

I do think the most beautiful and different and unique of this episode, is not only how two people are sharing knowledge and exploring forms of expresión and how mind works but algo the emotions as part of it. When he speaks he just liberate this huge passion he has for art even more than for magic and how this immersed him in who he is. People call it to romantics life but really our experiences make us who we are and this episode is just such an amazing way to spend my time and confirm what I believe about how huge we are and our mind is but how important is pasión, emotions and expression to feel alive. Thank you both. Such a great episode !

[@user-rx3uu7yz6g]

Andrew Huberman you're amazing keep doing what you do and never ever give up! Thank you for all your amazing insights and knowledge!

[@nickmacleod2622]

Can you do an episode about Health anxiety - alot of your pods are very informative and talk about very helpful tools to look after and track your health, but sometimes those things can affect people in a negative and irrational way. Great pod!

[@coryblevinscomedy]

Great episode! Thank you for all your work. It has been remarkably insightful.

[@alfonsobordi3805]

One of my favorite shows(and I’m not into magic at all), Asi Wind was a great guest. Thanks Andrew for exposing me/ us to things we would normally actively seek out.

[@olgazavilohhina6854]

¡Hola Profe! Magic is not about human deception, but about human connection and art of storytelling,and this conversation was truly about that. Thank You for Your hard work and care for all of us.

[@MoroniSorroche]

The video was just released but somehow you already have a full verdict on all 3 hours of it. Im sure the guest is a genius in his own right - but having watched almost 40 minutes of it, I can say he hardly knows how to explain/elaborate what he does as a magician. Compared to other interviews on this channel, this is looking like a waste of time...

[@Tate525]

This podcast has bought alot of positive changes in my life and while NYT gave me a depression. The choice is obvious as to who i am standing with, people calling and accusing others of being toxic all the time should also have real deep look within their souls. Also not to mention even simple disagreements with certain group of individuals can land you in this category. It's my way or highway for the left.

[@Ophelia_numero_1]

Hi Andrew! Thank you for all your talks! They are so helpful…

[@whittaker007]

Asi's understandable reluctance to reveal specifics really made this discussion fairly impenetrable, which is a shame since the discussion was very long and almost informative.

That is the magic of it ;)

Magic is the cold water plunge of entertainment. Putting yourself in a situation where you're deliberately agreeing to be deceived or manipulated and expanding your imagination of what is possible for fun. Keeps the inner child alive in us!

When considering his professional work, it is important to remember that his integrity is questionable. This is especially important for a scientist. I read plenty of reports from actual subject matter experts in various topics that he has covered saying that Huberman speaks with a lot of confidence but isn't always correct.
