cold reading is indeed a clever art, although i think the name makes it sound quite sinister! really it's listen and watching people perhaps more closely than you usually would!

I remember learning about this on South Park; Stan and Kyle found a book called "Cold Reading" in the home of John Edward. I remember that show, Crossing Over with John Edward. It really was the epitomy of cold reading. Justin@Airsoft Rifles´s last blog post..Ambidextrous Airsoft Shoulder Holster

"Cold Reading" is a known acting tecnique here in Los Angeles. It is quite a common term - it means rehearshing a script for only a few minutes and then immediatley performing the scene. Ha! Michael-John Wolfe Michael-John Wolfe´s last blog post..Residuals and Royalties Introduction Video

If there are any "genuine" psychics out there, there is a really easy way for them to prove their powers to the world and make $1,000,000 - take the JREF Million Dollar Challenge. Ray´s last blog post..Proper Snow At Last

If there truly is something like psychic powers, or 'healings', these people will have a never-ending battle to prove they're genuine. So many imposters out there trying to make money using techniques similar to the above. Theo@website design´s last blog post..Browser Statistieken van 2008

John Edwards (of Crossing Over with John Edwards) is a notorious cold reader. The second part you describe is Hot Reading, about which I have also posted.

I’ve watched that show on TV before (I think its John Edwards, but not certain) and I sit there in disbelief because I think I could do it. I’ve also heard that they have people that talk to the audience while they’re waiting in line or something and just ask what seem like general friendly standing in line waiting for someone together questions – but really they’re finding out who you’re hoping to hear from and what their story is. Obviously I have no proof of that, but its an interesting rumor.

Anyways, I agree, let the psychic tell you instead of you tell them

Replying to my own post The book arrived today. 2 days after I ordered it (bearing in mind I ordered it at a stupid time of the night on a Sunday!! That is excellent service – especially since the website appears abandoned with some parts being 2 years old.

If you ever read this, thank you Ian Rowland. Once I’ve cleared my book backlog and returned them to the library, I’ll be sitting down with this one and will write a review. And Ian Brodie will be credited for turning me onto this book.
