Essentially it is a magical idea. This is being done by a genie, which is a
magical being on par with angels and the like.
If the brain were a hard wired systems it might make sense that a mind
could be downloaded as a set of files and programs and transferred to
another brain. However, brains physically adapt and change according to
learning. So the conscious being, while subjective, also appears tied to
the physical configuration of the brain. So the mind is not likely to ever
be reduced to some information in a channel. It is only likely this may
happen if the brains of people are physically swapped.
Of course a brain transplant, or maybe better put a body transplant, is
science fiction at this time. There are around 10^{11} neural connections
that have to be made correctly and this means there are around 10^{10^{11}}
combinations. That is certainly not computable or tractable in a standard
way.
