Nakul Shenoy is a magician and a mentalist and has spent years observing the way people think. And since one of the most common questions Indian atheists have to deal with has to do with past lives and the alleged evidence for it, I asked him if there was any truth to the claim that hypnosis can be used to make people remember who they were in their past lives.

We also talked about how easy it is to make people think things and how magicians use this to break people's sense of what's real and what's not. A great 90-minute conversation for your Sunday.
