The mystery behind fortune telling and psychic readings is revealedin this article about cold readings. It seems every mystical detailone would experience at a psychic reading is easily explained assomething far less exciting. For instance many psychic readers willwear a costume and have a foreign accent. This is all justto "mystify" the customer. The infamous crystal ball is mostly usedto create a distraction while the reader thinks of something tosay. Furthermore, the facts which are stated are usually prettyvague and only seem accurate beacause the customer is sort of takenin by the whole experience.
Most people who go to visit a psychic are having some sort ofproblem. The majority of issues which bother people enough to seekhelp fall under love, money, career or family. So all a readerreally has to do is mention one of these topics and be somewhatclose to accuracy. A reader can also tell by making stereotypicaljudgements what to say to people. A young female, for example,would most likely be there for romance problems. Or a middle agedmale dressed in a business suit may need help in a career choice.
These readings seem far less amazing after reading this article. Italmost makes me think I could probably give cold readings a try. Mycuriosity about having a reading done for myself has now vanished.It's amazing what we allow ourselves to believe. I feel a bitchildish now for ever thinking there could be some truth to psychicreadings.
