The Handbook Of Psychic Cold Reading: Psychic Reading For The Non-Psychic

Perfect for thos just learning Cold Reading.

Basically this book is more for Entertaining people at parties and being a mind reader. This is almost trying to discredit being a true psychic which myself and many others out there are.So I guess if you are a boss and you need to learn how to read your employees or entertain your friends and family this book will tell you all those secrets. It would also be helpful for placement or detectives trying to read their criminal suspects So I guess if you are a boss and you need to learn how to read your employees were entertain your friends and family this book will tell you all those secrets. It would also be helpful for placement or detectives trying to read their criminal suspects.Again. If you like me, are a true Psychic then this book basically only tries to descredit you by stating that it can be learned and is merely only a matter of mind manipulation.Sad. Because being Psychic has NOTHING to do with that.True psychics are able to tap into people’s energy and read them without the necessity for ANY of those gimmicks said in this book.But it’s good to know that there are people out there like this person thinking that they know it all.

A solid and easy to read resource on one of the most valuable tools of "mind reading" in the world.

I like this book. It is probably one of the best I've seen that explains how "cold readings" are done. The author writes of fun readings and serious ones. Much of this book, I think, is about readings for entertainment. Some people take readings very seriously and it seems easy to cross the line between fun and serious. Can you help someone or offer any wisdom if you are, in effect, playing? It raises the question of why people seek readings as well as the ethics of it. Perhaps this book helps put readings in a proper perspective.

I've just finished reading "The Handbook Of Psychic Cold Reading". A better title would be "Reformatted stuff you can find on the Internet". It's a loose collection of poorly written material and mostly shameless republished (copied) text from the masters: Ray Hymen, Forer and Ian Rowland.People, this is about as bad as it gets.This book is just a marketing ploy, there is no original material in it that I've found (other than the author's name).Here's the content: * a couple chapters of vague and often conflicting opinion * a copy of Ray Hyman's "Guide to Cold Reading" (get for free from: [...]) * a chapter (well 3 page) mnemonic on what areas to cover in a reading. * a few chapters on examples of methods, the same boring unnecessary methods. * a chapter on warm reading hints * a chapter of the Forer text (sigh) * a chapter (15 pages) copied from Ian Rowland * a few chapters of vaguely related areas of interest, poorly represented.And this is volume 1? Please save me Flying Spaghetti Monster.Excuse me, after reading this thing, I need to go clean my aura.

Its okay, but there are better authors on the same subject. This author does give insight into the subject, but on a very limited basis. For someone who has not read any other author, or who just wants some general information, this book will do.

I am still reading this book but I am fascinated by the subject matter. It was a little pricey but in general worth it.

I think this book talks about some basic cold reading techniques. As a beginner of cold reading, I found this book quite interesting. It includes a lot of useful and simple skills that can be handled easily by anyone. Also, there is a chapter talking about Hellstromism{muscle reading}, it provides another way to create this effect rather than using other mentalism methods. However, this book doesn't talk much about each skill, so if you're an experienced cold reader, I think you won't find this book helpful.

great insight

All okay

Really disappointing book, I was hoping for some sort of insight, it feels so vague it's hard to get into.

La qualité de l'impression est pitoyable.
