Riassunto

A comprehensive guide to the world's most persuasive communication psychology technique, as applied to psychic readings and some related fields. This book has already sold tens of thousands of copies around the world, without a single penny spent on advertising or promotion. (Has only been available via Amazon for a short time). Although it chiefly describes cold reading mainly in the context of fake psychic readings, the book has a final chapter showing how some of the same techniques can apply to other contexts, such as selling, negotiation, business and even criminal interrogation!

Su questo libro

Recensione:

The definitive work, and long overdue. Has many applications to mind magic, close-up, and any inter-active performance. --Derren Brown

A superb book, relentlessly intelligent and fiercely methodical! Its pages systematically unravel every deceptive strategy of thinking and rhetoric in 'psychic' character reading. --Teller (of 'Penn & Teller')

We've received many inquiries about how more detailed information on the art of 'cold reading' can be obtained. Here is the definitive answer to that question. Our friend Ian Rowland, in the UK, is probably the world's leading authority on the subject, and his book, 'The Full Facts Book of Cold Reading' is now available. No other book I know of will provide this information. Every aspect of this art that I can think of, is represented here in detail, and it provided me with additional information I simply did not have. Highly recommended! --James Randi, James Randi Educational Foundation
