Sir can you make video for night fall
If you slow the video down to .25x, you'll see that the video takes much longer to watch
🤯
man technology is going crazy these days
Haha :)
😂
😂
I love that Andrew's version of losing his mind is that of a restrained scientist's reaction: "goodness, gracious"
He used it twice, 😂 Andrew is a scientist trapped in a Viking's body
"Wild."
He sounds like uri geller so already I don't trust him
huberman is a pseudo scientist
He has 6 different scientific reactions to juggle at the same time.
Those tricks were ridiculous. Looking forward to Andrew's next video about the effect of card tricks on dopamine levels.
I'm more interested in the effect of morning sun on poker success.
Was this filmed 2 hours after rising or at least 8 hours before bedtime in July?
5 times baseline for sure
I love that Andrew's version of losing his mind is that of a restrained scientist's reaction: "goodness, gracious"
I imagine he wears a Continuous Dopamine Monitor
I think what is most impressive is HUBERMAN making his hand disappear at 10:40. He is the real magician here. 🤯
I totally missed that!
Strange. what could this mean? on the picture from the wallet the backround is there..
They removed overhead mics with a mask. Common thing to do.
That was impressive but wait until you hear how many women he could disappear from each other at once
Yes, I agree. What happened at 10:40, and does it create any skepticism as to the video itself?
3:54 Magician: "Let's do something fun, open your phone, open your phone" Huberman: 👀
loooooooool
💀
If you know you know 🤣👍🏽
uh oh
Why can’t he just be honest :/
As a magician this perhaps the best series of tricks I have seen!
What about as a non magician
its not i just saw a series of confusion throughout：i would say this is not the asi wind at the top of his game
@@reeddery4232I don’t think you know what you’re talking about or what he is doing
Asi is great!
As a magician ajajajjaaj
He just had Huberman give out his PIN code 😂
then hacked the phone to replace the photo in real time
Social engineering in perfection! 😂
"And for my next trick, I want you to take out your phone and log into your bank. PRESTO! It has a zero balance!"
@@wfsm1th😂 Aaaand it's gone
I should probably STFU but I'd say the code to unlock the family's trust, the family's safe or something like that! Which made me feel like "Oh shit", and then felt like I was hearing him think "I should not have used this code, that wasn't a good idea, is it compromised now etc... Well, that's alright, we're all friends here Dr Huberman, we zip it and forget it 🤐
ASI is amazing. His NYC show was one of the best things I have seen in a long time. This segment is brilliant.
“Nice magic trick, but wait till you hear about my juggling act!”
I can hear Huberman himself LAUGHING at that one dude
@@poutinez1688 until tears
Also a dab hand at the spinning plates … More Plates More Dates 🤣
Amazing
Hahahaha, that's a good one
This was actually spectacular to watch. This level of proficiency and just sheer foolery of the mind is amazing
Asi Wind is incredible! I saw his show in NYC and it was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! He's amazing!
Asi wind is one of the greatest minds and performers in magic. Just love his thinking and performance skill. He makes sleight of hand look like real magic, even to Magicians.
Asi and Dani, my two favs in magic.
People who understand "real magic" don't waste time with sleight of hand and card tricks so...
@@thisisgettingold- Said like a fool
@@thisisgettingold these people think real magic does not exist and their arrogance in this ignorant assumption is truly hilarious
That is seriously some of the best magic I've ever seen as long as this wasn't edited
Of course it was
It's not edited, Asi Wind is a legend
@@brandonteng99 10:40 the video is edited. Huberman's hand disappears
That's literally just a mask to cover boom mics...
Dan White did two of those tricks years ago on Fallon. Search Dan White Roots magic and he makes cards appear in Tariq's jacket pocket. But not just one card. It's still cool. I'm not a hater.
As a beginner magician, I just gave up & threw my playing cards in the trash. Thanks, Asi Wind, that was fantastic.
Don't be silly. Go get your cards and keep studying.
Yes, you should probably give up... It is not worth it... If someone can do better, why should you try after all? Wait, can't anybody at any given moment do better than you in any discipline (Especially considering subjectivity)? Yeah... We should probably stop trying to do stuff 😅 (Or you rewire your neural pathways, you embrace the challenge and you get better than the YOU of yesterday 🙌🏻) Ps: I'm aware it was likely very ironic and that my answer sounds like I didn't get it.
This video was edited though. Would have been more believable if it was all one shot.
@@supercal333 Why would Huberman pretend to be amazed? Asi Wind is a very established and skilled magician. What's not to believe? That he has supernatural powers? Of course not.
@@Dr.Tinkerpawfor money of course. The reason most people do anything
Calculator trick is one that seems easiest to guess how it is done. When he is handed the phone, he subtly presses "=" once again. That will add the "code" again to the previous result. He has probably trained shit ton of mental math, so he subtracts whatever he saw on the phone as first sum from the second number that he only glances for a second. Once he knows the code , he prearranges the four cards and then forces those cards pretty obviously on Huberman. He didn't really choose random cards, he was handed four specific cards. Forcing stuff is always so wild, it seems like a huge gamble but seems to work everytime.
Almost: He doesn't even need to do any math. Pressing C and then = reveals the secret code immediatly. The rest is correct. Increadible forcing skills. And for some reason it always works.
Neither works on my phone. Maybe its an iOS thing?
@@ImOnAGoat91 Possible, that it works differently on calculator apps on other phones.
@@ImOnAGoat91 Yes it is... Tried to do in mine, it didn't work. In my wife's iPhone worked 😅 Would be fun if he didn't an iPhone
How does that work if he didn’t know what the first or second number was though?
Its all about card magicians! Asi is one of the greatest minds in magic! This is a great episode!
Asi is such an incredible thinker and performer. We are lucky to have him in the industry.
Asi Wind is phenomenal. One of the best. I did a basic magic course of his once and it was great to impress my friends with, but this was unfathomable! Mind blown 🤯
7:50 The way he slipped the card into the wallet while huberman was focused on removing a card from asi’s tight grip is impressive af
I rewatched it but couldn't see him slipping anything there.
@@GeenSama You’re not supposed to see it. Use your brain you can see the right hand pushing into the side of the wallet.
@@robertpatterson8437oh I was focusing on his left hand, now that I focused on his right hand I saw him slipping it
I knew that he put it in the wallet but couldn’t quite see how but yeah after your comment I rewatched it and you’re right. You can see it. It’s still amazing that he found the 3 of diamonds and was able to insert it without him noticing. Pretty crazy.
Not seeing anything 😢
"It's a good place to be" that was a very sweet moment. 😊
That last one is insane
I have seen that one before. Also the shooting part. But this one was over the top, because He didnt touch it at all, and multiple times in a row.
Asi is a magician’s magician. He is simply the best magician alive today.
A magicians magician, complemeting a magician, on a video about a magician. Beause magician. Do you also have dreams within a dream? Could Apollo Robbins take his wallet and hide it in Huberman's left shoe while you were all talking at the bar?
@@backfruI've had dreams within dreams before. And my dream-self has even had memories of dreams I've had before. My dreams can be quite wild lol
He's great but not even close to the best. These tricks were average for a top tier magician.
To make such a comment, I am guessing you know how the tricks's were done? Hypothetically, let's assume that Asi used real magic to perform these tricks. Wouldn't you agree that real magic is far more impressive than just a "trick." Because you assume it is a trick, you are trying to judge the merits of trick from a position of ignorance rather than a position of knowledge. With that being said, do you have the proper knowledge to be able to distinguish real magic from just a trick? Or are you just assuming it is a trick and judging it on creativity and presentation? IMO, before someone critiques a trick, they must prove it is a trick first, then that person can judge from a position of knowledge. @robbiereekie3694
Asi's a fantastic magician. Is he the best alive? He's a contender, but it really depends on what you value in your magic. It doesn't really make any sense to say 'he's the best'. He's not the best performer. He's not the best card handler. He's not the best mentalist. David Blaine thinks he's the best though, and Blaine's in a better position to make that judgement than I am.
That was seriously impressive. Using technology in magic tricks is a sign of a true genius.
I loved this episode. It fascinated me how much he intuitively knows about the human psyche that then huberman could back up with scientific explanations and evidence.
Magic never doesn’t amaze me… I just don’t know how some magic tricks are actually possible. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!
Y’all gonna be mindblown when you find out magick is real
It’s simple time travel.
@@MisterCee420🤡
@@MisterCee420 lot of people don't understand this yeah they do 'sleight of hand' and mind tricks; thats what makes people miss it when they slip in something REAL have you watch this dude named imad? google "imad magician" ...just like thay not "imad THE magician" and check him out
That was really awesome. Thanks for the fun. ❤
Haven't been this blown away by card magic in a while
So big mind blown that even the hand disappeared :D 10:40
lol now I'm even more confused
This, perhaps is the answer.
its the green screen i suppose
So Huberman was in on the tricks, just goes to show how good he's gotten at lying to us 😂
Oh wow
Love Asi Wind! Helped him change his tire… at the Magic Castle many years ago…
The Gothic Arse'ole?
Oh really you helped him change his tire, how? He used you as an assistant, asked you if you see the rear flat tire and then told you to close your eyes and count to 3, then he snapped his fingers and the flat tire was swapped with the spare one from the boot…😂
@@nikr1d3r32 magicians help each other
This is spectacular & unbelievable. Great job Asi Wind
This moment, when you know what Asi is doing and it still fools you. Asi, I love you! Thanks for making us all feel like kids again.
What is he doing?
@@supercal333doing sleight of hand and using sophisticated props, as well as some other finely tuned mental gymnastics and psychological trickery... Magic is pretty manipulative if you asked me. It would be way cooler if they would actually show how their tricks are done instead of guarding their essentially common knowledge like it's some occult secret.
@@thisisgettingoldWhy? That's his and countless other's bread and butter.
That is seriously amazing. True magic.
usually I click on the video to see how much of the video is left , but man-o-man this is wild. Goodness gracious me!!
I really love Asi saying "I dont know" as well lol. It gives me such a sense of wonder 😂.
so much more going on here than just tricks. this goes way deeper
I love magic AND Huberman Lab!! The last trick is incredible!!! ❤🤩
I use to study Asi Winds work, one of the greatest ever! A professional and a master in the truest sense.
check out "imad magician"; google it that way i.e. NOT "imad THE magician" the things he is doing like d blaine and asi wind maybe even more unbelievable
I've been watching card magic for years and this was like seeing it for the first time - just an amazing performance
Asi, you absolute mad man!!! That was a beautiful selection of tricks. The opening trick is sooo effective…
"Trick" at 10:39 revealed: They have boom mics above their heads to record sound and in the wide angle shots the upper 20% of the screen are comped in. Huberman happened to move his hands into the comped in area when doing the "mind blown" motion. In editing they had the choice between removing the comp (and showing the Mics in the process) or letting his hand "disappear" for half a second. They choose to go with the latter. Easy! 😅
That doesn't explain the trick
No it explains that there was no trick @@Rivers7777
r/whoosh
@@Rivers7777 I appreciate you
why did you bother telling us tht? it has got nothing to do with the trick
Mr Huberman thank you very much for your tips i recently followed your tips for sleeping better by dropping the temprature down which you said in one of your videos what i did was i opened the window for fresh air and it helped and made me sleep better at night which made me wake up early thank you so much for your tips Mr Huberman 😊
I saw Asi in NY last year - I got to sit immediately next to him at the table and participate in some of the tricks- my mind is still reeling from the experience
Wow! That was insane! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For those who don't know: Asi Wind is an absolute genius. He is the mind behind a lot of David Blaine's performances. He's got this version of "Triumph", which is so hot damn creative... I came up with an easier way of doing it, which does not require a pressure fan, but the rest is his. I do 2 "Triumphs" now: his, and the Irish Shuffle. His creative mind and contributions to the art of magic are significant.
My wife & I saw Asi in NYC & I got us tickets at his table (you're legit as close as Huberman is). This dude is a warlock or something bc he is UNBELIEVABLY smooth IRL, were he to get outed one day as an ACTUAL wizard I'd be like "That makes sense".😂😂😂
We love you Dr. Huberman!
Unbelievable, loved it
Something akin to what Dani De Ortiz does in his own chaotic giggly style ❤ also this powerful force among seeming randomness. Very well done!!
Just a pressure force. But Dani has a new project out regarding forces
Both influenced by Juan Tamariz
@@albo_arDani was literally a student of Juan Tamariz so it would be kind of strange if he wasn't influenced by him.
Seeing Dr. Huberman speechless is a real magic.
I loved that. And I loved that you allowed us to take a little bit of a look at the trick. The 7:13 shows clearly that Andrew holds the wallet with the card in the picture when Asi puts the phone away.
An incredible, incredible performance. I do wonder about the editing of the video with that first effect.
now way! - why I feel the need to watch it again?!
This is incredible, you would enjoy the work of Derren Brown. He has been on Joe Rogan but there was much they didn’t touch on. You two would have a fascinating discussion!
"imad magician" google it and check him out
That is mind blowing magic -- for sure!
something about those deck of cards.. feels dark and mysterious. And he knows you shouldnt hold it for a long time.. Amazing Performance
I also chose the three of diamonds before you said your card. Fascinating!!
haha me too
I did the same. So odd. I wonder if he sets up his words in a way that highly suggested for us to think of that card?
Same here.
@@randygonzalez5758That's not odd. It's only 52 cards. So, some people are bound to have thought of the same card. It would be odd if no one but Huberman did.
@@MrSidney9 Just curious. When Asi Wind asked Andrew to think of a card did you think of a different card than him or did you not also guess?
Anyone else notice Huberman's😢 right forearm vanish into thin air after they handshake and while he raises his arm above his head around 10:43-10:44 into the video? 😢
One of my favorite magical men right there.
I loved dr huberman reaction ❤😂
Watch the 3 of diamonds "MAGICALLY" appear on hubermans phone at 0.25x speed 7:12. Absolutely crazy!
Well spotted. What's going on there?
Its maybe some substance that appears when only when light flashes. You can see after he takes the picture, the camera angle changes to his face so the editors know it was there all along appearing in the photo albums bottom left corner of the camera
nice spot. My best guess is that it has something to do with the flash. It's broad daylight, the regular camera app woudln't trigger the flash. That can't be a coincidence. He must've turned it on on purpose. That also explains why the camera angle switches as he takes the picture. The wallet is a "magic wallet" that somehow reacts to the flash and makes the card visible on the picture - Remember, it's Asi's wallet, not Hubermans. The card that will appear is predetermined and the real trick is then to make Huberman guess that exact card. No idea how he does that though.
@@JB_inks Took me a minute to think that through but my best guess is that the wallet has a screen where the card should appear and a light sensor, and when the flash from the camera hits the sensor the screen quickly flashes the image of the card so that it shows up on the photo.Then it's just a matter of "forcing" the person to pick that card which is something that I know good card magicians can do.
@@ImOnAGoat91 He doesn't have him think of the 3 of hearts, he forces him to draw the 3 of hearts. He had him think of the 3 of diamonds, and tell him, then he stalls, finds it with the deck face down somehow and then sneaks it in the wallet when he asks him to draw card halfway out the first time. It's the only time he's touching the wallet with the deck and his hands as obstruction so it has to be then. The execution and slight of hand is still baffling though. The rest is just showmanship.
It's hard to be a magician these days because everyone knows how the tricks work, but the execution of the illusions is a beautiful art.
Absolutely Amazing!!!!!
I love watching magic tricks. I know there is a trick - maths, sleight of hand, engineering etc. but I have no idea what it is. That is magic!
That shuffling! 😂
If the participant was anyone other than Dr. Huberman, I would have been rolling my eyes at the end of each act, but for those of us who have listened to over 100 episodes of Huberman Lab podcast, his loss for words is inescapably chilling.
Huh?
@TinyTardigrade460blind devotion is a bit of a baseless leap.
INCREDIBLE!!!
That was awesome!!!
“And for my next trick, I will make your clean-cut public image disappear” ✨
"Open your phone..... "
How has his clean-cut public image disappeared
the piece you’re referring to was 8000 words of unverified bullsht
@@seenochasm7101 Yep, hard to believe it got published.
I kind of blew my own mind @ 7:30 when I said to myself “I’d say 3 of diamonds” only for Huberman to say the exact same thing. Trippy…
me too ♦️♦️♦️
samee
Mentalism at it's finest
Me too!!
But now look in your wallet.......you said three of diamonds, right? Go ahead......look.
Most amazing magic trick I’ve ever seen with a deck of cards
I understand double lifts and controlling cards to the top of the deck. Understand it but can't do it. But this is on a whole other level.
10:41 Huberman makes his hand disappear. Amazing!
They removed overhead mics with a mask. Common thing to do.
Absolutely MAGIC indeed.
I don’t even want to know how. This is so cool - my brain feels happy.
For a fleeting moment, we get to feel like kids again 🤠
If the latest gossip is to be believed, Dr. Huberman is not nearly as bad at shuffling as he would have us believe.
I member learning some of these tricks from a magic book when I was a teenager they are always amazing
AMAZING routines! Quiver was great also.
At 7:52 he puts the card in the wallet as we are thinking he's making a mistake in the way he suggests the card. Your attention his took in a clever way.
briliant observation
@@SmarterTebyafor the phone, it seems when he takes the phone he hits the screen once around the middle of the screen which is where the clock icon (history) is, so he gets the number from there and push back the phone and reverse it so its not visible from huberman position. Then when he looks at the cards he finds where he could create this combinaison in forward or reverse order, he somehow highly suggest the wanted cards to huberman, then notice he reverse them.
Do you mean he uses his pinky/ring finger to put the card in the wallet when his hand is over the Wallet in that 3 second window? And he puts it inside that compartment?
@TinyTardigrade460Its not Hubermans wallet, its Asis, as he said. So its a prepared one, that has an opening on the side, so he can push the card in. When he asked Huberman to open the wallet again, Hubermans fingers touched the side that has the secret opening und Asis intervened immediately and corrected Huberman to open it how its supposed to, so he can't notice the trick.
This is a good catch. I think the card is always in there. The actual magic is the card suggestion. the stumble over the wallet, he is triggering something to remove the covering that made it wallet look empty. As for the photo, whatever was blocking it is reactive to the camera flash. meaning when photographed with the flash, it reveals the card. Maybe far fetched, but that's my 2cents.
The best trick in the video is Huberman's hand dissappearing at 10:39
Why
😅
for real. how come is that?
Editor left the mask hiding the microphones in the frame but didn't edit it for the few frames the hand goes over it.
@@theAristocrap thx for explaining
Awesome vid love magic love Andrew and now love you Asi
That first trick is insane. Bloody hell.
So many are asking: At 10:40 what you're seeing is a common microphone masking trick. There are mics positioned above, but before you shoot you take a clip without the mics and then mask over the actual recording. Nothing related to the magic trick.
Gonna go steal Huberman's ATM card now
He said it was given to him when he was 6 years old so it's probably his piggy bank
That last one was🤯
That's amazing how he used the reflection of the flash on the plastic part of the wallet to make a sort of a mirror which captured the card somewhere on the table or his body
Asi Wind blows Andrew Huberman
Well played sir well played!
You know what I loved seeing you stumped! hahahahaha I love you! ..."Oh my goodness". I love that too. Great video. How did he do that?
With the 7679 trick i think he looked at the history of the calculator when looking at the phone when Andrew wasn't paying attention and then he positioned the combination of cards for him to take.
I thought the same thing
Most likely yeah
I don't think iPhone calculator has a history
He also cut the deck and placed it under the table then grabbed new cards before the phone trick.
he simply pressed the = sign again, which on iPhones adds the last number again and subtracted the previous number to get the original
Even more impressive was how Andrew made his hand disappear at the 10:40 mark
that was strange for sure 🤔
They removed overhead mics with a mask. Common thing to do.
The editing man is on it too, he skill-fully changes camera during the trick to hide the magic from us. ))
That magician went on Fool Us with Penn and Teller and went 4d chess on them, it was one of the greatest display of mastery and genius I have ever seen.
Dr. Huberman, as a huge fan of your insightful and science-based videos and content, I couldn't help but notice a curious moment at the 10:40 mark. During this moment, your right hand appears to vanish momentarily. Could you kindly shed some light on this intriguing occurrence?
Has to be removing the boom microphone??
It's a common microphone masking trick. There are mics positioned above, but before you shoot you take a clip without the mics and then mask over the actual recording. Nothing related to the magic trick.
@@AleksiJoensuu Thanks for the clarification! Much appreciated.
Amazing!!!
Crazy tricks ! Incredible.
I did see one super quick editing glitch...mind not blown. ;-)
There real magic is that his hand disappears when his mind is blown.
Perplexing and wonderful! 😮😊
