You will learn some very powerful communication techniques in this guide. Taken to their extreme, you will be able to convince others, people you already know or people that youve just met, that you know deep truths about them. And you will. You will learn techniques and skills that will allow you to peer through the surface level that people present, and understand the hidden truths about their personality, their hopes and dreams, as well as their fears and insecurities. You will find out that this is much easier than you may now realize. This guide is called Cold Reading , which means you will understand much about people from a very small amount of information. Cold reading is different from psychic reading. This guide is not about how to read peoples minds. This guide will not teach you how to predict the future, nor guess what card they are holding or what number between one and a hundred they are thinking of. What you will learn will be much more profound and applicable. You can use these techniques any time you are having a conversation with another human. And if you use these techniques effectively, that other human will not only be impressed with your insight, but based on how you present these skills, they may even believe that you are indeed clairvoyant. How you use this guide is ultimately up to you. But we must warn you that if you misuse these techniques, it wont be without repercussions. We wont spend a lot of time warning you about laws of karma or unexpected consequences. You either already know this, in which case it would be a waste of time. Or you will do this anyway, and any words of warning wont have an effect, and would therefore be a waste of time. The techniques you learn will take time to study, and understand, and then practice. While there will be several fully written out patterns that will work very well, understand these are examples. Patterns you write out on your own will be much better. Cold reading patterns you generate on the fly will be even more impressive. Consider this the goal, to be able to create cold reading patterns on the fly, with anybody, during any situation. This will give you an enormous amount of conversational power and insight into human nature. This will allow you to leave a lasting impressing on anybody within minutes. This will make you unforgettable, if you wish to be.

Human Nature

Much of this will be based on an understanding of human nature. Most of us have very similar thoughts. But because we never discuss these thoughts with others, (we are too embarrassed or shy or worried how people will react) we believe these thoughts are unique to ourselves. When you understand the basic structure of human nature, this will give you much more insight into how people are thinking in situations.

Beyond Barnum Statements

Barnum statements are statements that are true about everybody. For example, even though we have never met, I know many things about you. For example, there was a time in the past when you knew you needed a full nights sleep, for a specific purpose, but you tossed and turned. The more you worried about not getting enough sleep, the more this worry kept you awake. I also know that there are some people in your life that you are attracted to, but you worry how or if you might express your attraction to that person. I also know that there are a few things youve been meaning to do, and as you think about those things now, they might start to cause you anxiety. You would like to have them done, in your past, having been complete, but you havent yet found the motivation to do those. The things I know about you are true about every human. Cold reading is based, in part, on universal human experiences. But until you read those sentences above, you werent thinking about those things. Barnum statements are true for everybody, but they are delivered in a way that makes it obvious they are true for everybody. Cold reading is much more personal, much more contextual, and therefore much more effective. Barnum statements are true for everybody, but they are always true for everybody. You will learn to find the right Barnum statements, the ones that are not only true but are present in mind. The things they are actually thinking of in the moment. This will be much easier than you realize. But it will take a bit of understanding of human nature. It will take some understanding of reading and interpreting body language. It will take some time to choose the right Barnum statements that are most appropriative for the time and place.

Quick Example

This is an oversimplified example, but it illustrates what we are getting at. Most humans struggle with eating. Some struggle a little, some struggle a lot. Some struggle often, some struggle only from time to time. But a universal human experience is wanting to eat more but realizing that it might not be a good idea. Another common human experience is the day after weve overeaten. When we wake up, get in and out of the shower, get dressed, and put on our clothes. Then as we put fasten our pants or buckle our belt, we remember the day before when weve eaten too much. We get angry or upset with ourselves for having too little willpower. Our mind drifts to worst case thinking when we imagine ballooning up and others commenting about not only our lack of willpower, but our obese state. Some of us dwell on these thoughts long and often. Some of us dwell on these thoughts briefly and infrequently. But weve all had them. When would be a good time to bring these up? When you are with somebody, and they are in the situation when they are considering eating more. This could be at a buffet, this could be at a party, or at your home. How would you deliver such a statement? First, wait until the recipient is right at the precipice. When they are fifty percent decided on having another plate, and fifty percent decided on not. Right before their body shifts, you can take a look at them and start off with an innocuous statement like this:

I can tell you are of two minds .

So far so good, you have effectively paced where they are, mentally. But as such, they are only thinking, should I, or shouldnt I? This is when you can explain, in great detail, what is going on in each of their two minds. You can describe all the times theyve put off eating more and have felt good about themselves. You can describe all the times theyve not done so and have felt guilty the next day. Both will be true, and as you further describe each of their two minds, theyll naturally find many of either experiences. This will give them a real feeling that you know exactly what is inside their head. This is a Barnum statement, make no mistake. But it is a very carefully delivered, very contextual Barnum statement. There is also a lot more going on, which we will discuss in much detail.

Cold reading is not psychic. It is not seeing things inside their mind through any kind of telepathy or other paranormal skills. You wont learn how to predict lottery numbers or divine peoples future. But you will learn a lot of techniques that will give that impression, if thats what you intend. Simple Barnum statements are easy to spot. These are the stuff of horoscopes. Horoscopes are written so they are true for pretty much anybody. Yet at the same time, plenty of people read and depend on horoscopes. So, when you learn the techniques in this guide, to take that same technique but make it much more personal and contextual, you will have a much more profound effect than even the most accurate horoscope.

Science and Magic

It is a common idea that science that is beyond understanding will be interpreted as magic. This is generally applied on a society wide basis. For example, a group of explorers who visit a primitive culture will be perceived as gods or magicians, so long as they bring advanced technology. But this is also applicable on a one-on-one level. Plenty of people spend plenty of time learning sleight of hand magic tricks. We enjoy watching these tricks, even paying money to see them. Yet we know full well that they are tricks, that they arent really magic. Yet we try very hard to pretend they are magic. We watch movies that have famous actors pretending to be superheroes that have seemingly magical abilities. Yet those blatant special effects and CGI somehow creates real emotions in us. We go to movies and magic shows with eyes wide open, yet we still allow ourselves to be momentarily tricked. These techniques will be kind of like that, except you wont announce that you are using any magic tricks. Youll just start communicating in a certain way to people that speak to them on a much deeper level. Even if they are pure skeptics who dont believe in any kind of paranormal abilities, they will still be deeply impressed. But because you wont announce that you are using any kind of language technology, they wont even have time to consider what the trick is. If you were to start doing card tricks, everybody around you would immediately know that you are using sleight-of-hand. Yet the thought process of, hey, that guys using sleight-of-hand, but its pretty cool, so Ill allow myself to be impressed , would be quick and mostly subconscious. When magic tricks are blatant, we still automatically and subconsciously switch into a mode of thinking that allows us to believe, if only temporarily, in magic. We very much like to believe in real magic. These language techniques will have a much more profound impact. They will have a deep sense that you know things about them that others dont. Even pure skeptics will enjoy that feeling.
