let's react to EVEN MORE IMPOSSIBLE memory feats! (ft. Jack White & Magnus Carlsen)

Hi Nelson. Big fan. In this video I recall the first and last names of every single person in a pretty big audience at a sales event where I was the Emcee. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHvRf6iofsaKacU

[@thesavantart8480]

Hey Nelson, could you check some of my videos out? Would love to talk to you about savant syndrome and autism as I have both.

[@mooseminddayan4650]

Carlsen used to memorize world populations and country statistics as a youngster. I think he might be familiar with memory techniques. That's probably why he's so consistent. He probably remembers all his opening analysis and preparation

[@mihailwarsavski8849]

They all do

[@zwebzz9685]

@@mihailwarsavski8849 Magnus much more than most even his immediate prep team admits as much

[@BumboLooks]

He's never demonstrated that memory of country statistics though. In fact he's never demonstrated any ability in anything other than chess. He isn't even particularly great at monetizing his chess outside of winning competitions.

[@docforest4851]

I think Carlson playing 10 simultaneous games blind folded also demonstrates his pattern recognition and memory. Supposedly he has roughly 10,000 games in memory.

@@docforest4851 "10,000 games in memory". Easier to say than actually test.

17:35 How to choose a book NOT at random. 1.Go through the pile yourself and make sure you put the one book you want slightly to one side (to the right on the screen) - do your best not to hesitate slightly and make it look deliberate! Perhaps even knock it further to one side with another book as you carry on through the pile, to reduce suspicion. 2. Have someone blindfold you, legitimately. It makes this more believable. 3. Remember to start checking from the side of the table you put the book, so you don't miss it! 4. Pick up your choice, then a few others. Pretend to mix them up, hide your choice among them without losing track, then drop the other books - it looks random if no one's really watching! 5. Profit!

React to Magnus Carlson blindfold simul… any of them the more people the better

[@gecko82]

To a musician, or to a sound engineer, there is a lot of information in 1 second of music: the pitch, the instrumentation, the type of reverb, the level of overdrive/distortion, the equalization/compression of the drums, the attack of the notes, the volume of the recording and many other hints. If you are a decent player you will be able to recognize the chords you are hearing, and knowing the original chords, it also helps you identify the song. Not to mention that if you have perfect pitch, then 1 second will tell you the exact note(s) you are hearing, narrowing the song choice, if you know the songs enough. Another big factor is how you get the exerpt. If you already trained on exactly the same 1 second exerpt, of if it changes slightly (in the first case it's way easier). So, Jack White is really good, but that is something that any decent musician, or good listener would be able to do.

[@richardmyers3823]

my dad was a huge Beatles fan, I can identify them off of 1 second because I've listened to them a thousand times too lol

[@wyattstevens8574]

The Gracie BJJ one was interesting- and "Roll Over Beethoven" is actually pretty easy to get: it is, of course, a cover of Chuck Berry!

[@KrineshShukla]

Nelson and bj, better love story than Twilight

[@jameskenneweg7609]

From what I could see of Nate Muhammad’s cards, they were in Juan Tamariz’s Mnemonica stack.

[@NelsonDellis]

I knew someone might chime in on that. Thanks for sharing!

[@hugoantunesartwithblender]

The Beetles one is impressive but doable. I really like live music. And for some time i had all the same 100 songs on the car mp3. And i got really good recognozing the music playing just by listening people screams before the band started playing

[@erikbudrow1255]

I agree. If someone has a radio playing, no matter the station, I can almost always recognize a song after a second or two. ...and before that 1-2 seconds is up I already had time to think to myself "Why do they play the same damn songs over and over again???" 😆

[@TheBuslaefff]

Interesting, thanks for your effort! Maybe you could expand little bit more about practical use of memory, or what to do with it. Apart from usual party tricks.

[@pjayshah]

Nelson, I have an interest in chess. I have an intention to memorize chess openings, chess traps, and chess games.. I was actually thinking if common memory techniques can be used to memorize chess moves?

[@aniskoirala3812]

Nelson said he wanted to forget bijay and all that s#!t with the world's best memory 😆😆

[@andrewfield5250]

How to memorise non-nouns successfully. So, abstract things like "and", "quickly", "ironic", "today" or "time" and so on and so forth. These are the types of words I find much harder. And finally, (foreign) words when you have no corresponding sound or word to replace it with (can't think of an example of the top of my head) Thanks, big fan of the channel

[@tristanfoss7469]

Bijay Shahi's initials are BS, which is quite fitting.

[@erikbudrow1255]

To so be fair to Bijay Shahi, illusionism is an art form all itself and is due a certain amount of respect... but there's a fine line between that and charlatanism/ bullshiting.

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

I'm glad these weren't all fakes. A nice mix of positivity and skepticism.

[@shivakanttiwari6517]

I often run out of memory palace and endup using the same one. Is there any way to create a number of memory palaces?

[@mooseminddayan4650]

for the last guy. What if he's using the Major system pegs instead of a journey. An he in fact only looked at first and last words and not the whole page (making it a magic trick basically). Yanjaa did the same thing with Steve harvey right? Steve would call out the page number and Yanjaa would say the first word on the page. No?

[@k.m.amirkhasru1899]

Boom, Bijay is back !

[@brandonadams916]

In Bijay's video, since I don't know what the text on screen is or what is being said, the only reasonable thing he can be claiming to do (not that he deserves "reasonable"), is perhaps he's claiming that he has already memorized all the books, will pick one at random (didn't look random lol), and recite some passage. Like, that would at least be a very reasonable demonstration vs absorbing the fucking book via osmosis 😅

[@pjayshah]

I have heard people say Bobby Fischer was known being able to recite moves from his own games and others by verbatim.

[@sarangtamirisa5090]

I think many top chess players could/can do that

[@pjayshah]

There has been quite a few others that have been cited as having photographic memories. It can be a little exaggerated to.

[@sarangtamirisa5090]

@@pjayshah don't think it's exaggerated. Most strong players can remember sequences of moves very easily, especially from their own games

[@pjayshah]

@@sarangtamirisa5090 , I will agree that their ability to remember games are phenomenal. But it has also been proven no one really has a photographic memory. Even people outside of chess have been stated by others to have photographic memories.

[@richardfredlund8846]

There was some anecdote somewhere...sorry long time ago I heard it and can't remember where...but someone said something to Bobby in foreign language..and later even though he didn't know the language he asked what it meant, and was able to recall what was said. (I don't think it was very long or anything, but still I remember being amazed at it).

Reaction time!!!!!

[@ibradul]

I do something very similar to the swedish guy, I don't think it's fake at all. It's a much more raw and time consuming technique for me, never got into mnemonics at all, maybe he's doing the same and that's why it looks weird to you but with a lot of practice it's really just that instant.

[@NelsonDellis]

I’m still not convinced. Do you have any demos of your dictionary memorization? I’d love to see it for comparison.

​@@NelsonDellis drop me a message on discord, I'd be happy to have a chat over it.

[@k.m.amirkhasru1899]

How to memorise a lot of historical dates?????

[@richardfredlund3802]

i think the last one he's only remembering one word per page so it's more than possible. Re the body language I read it that he's stalling when he's thinking of the answers. of course i could be wrong. That Bijay guy is pointless. Just wound that forward, pretty certain he's fake.

[@jackeyniraula]

Hahaha he is at it again

[@richardmyers3823]

Let's Go!

[@snipperchannel9233]

Nepal ( Bijay Shahi ) joker is back again 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@richardfredlund8846]

I think the dictionary guy is legit... it's not that hard really. Why I think that is he's obviously buying time with 'nice page' and that stuff. Really you can't judge on the basis of N.L.P b.s. because note everyone has the same cognitive eye patterns. (could be wrong though... there does seem to be a down to the left from his perspective direction which is same in more than one)

[@daubenmiermechanicalengine6201]

I’m curious for the Peter Pan guy if he’s looking in a mirror, the hand motions he makes (14:30) for which way the people are running match our perspective of the screen, but are backwards from how he would remember the scene if he’s seen it a bunch. Obviously he remembers a lot of the words but I think he may be using some visual clues?? What do you guys think

[@Krokrodyl]

You're reading too much into that one move. He's gesturing exactly like the characters do (Crocodile punches the water with the left fist, he does too) and most of the video he's either looking up and has his eyes closed. He's listening as the video is played so that helps a lot too. Here's the original (non mirrored) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGS7aZyco99omdk
