Learn The Techniques That Psychics Use To Amaze Your Friends
by Makayla Bristow

In nearly every Sherlock Holmes movie ever made, there is a
scene where a slack-jawed consulter stares in dumbfounded
awe at the indubitable detective who has just reeled off a
litany of their activities for the last three days.

Is it amazing insight, psychic phenomenon or something else
entirely? If you've had experience with a 'psychic' who
seemed to be almost eerily on target with nearly everything
they said, you may be halfway to believing that some people
possess a magical ability to read your mind, or at least
information about you that isn't easily available to just
anyone.

You're halfway right. Most 'psychics' who engage in fortune
telling for fun or profit do have a talent or ability, but
it's neither magic nor uncommon. What they have is a learned
ability to read the tiny nuances in people's facial
expressions, voices and body language, and to put that
information together with other verbal and non-verbal cues
that you give off while they are reading for you.

Let's fast forward to Mr. Holmes' explanation of how he knew
where the person before him had been.

"It's elementary, my dear Watson," he'd say. "The callous on
the inner aspect of the gentleman's second finger is
characteristic of a pen being in constant contact with the
skin there. That tells me that he is a clerk of some sort,
for that callous is seldom seen on others. Though he has
taken great pains with his appearance, the cuffs of his
shirt are slightly frayed, suggesting a rather recent
downturn in his fortunes. Though his shoes are new, they're
ill-fitting enough to have caused a blister which makes him
limp, which suggests that he borrowed them in order to
present the best appearance possible. Finally, his pallor
suggests a recent confinement away from the sun."

3. Keep your statements vague enough to backpedal if the
reaction you get is puzzlement. A blank look to the
statement about an opportunity might lead you to add, 'you
may not even recognize it at first, or it may not have been
offered to you yet. You should keep your eye out for a
chance to prove yourself.' That's a statement that's
impossible to disprove. Everyone is offered opportunties all
the time. The next time your friend is offered one, they'll
remember your prediction.

There are other obvious cues in your tone of voice, your
expression, your posture - nearly everything that you do or
say can help the 'psychic' make predictions and statements
based on things you tell him or her yourself - without even
realizing it.

Make broad statements that people want to believe. These
include such statements as 'I have a strong feeling that
you're a little psychic yourself - do people tell you often
that you're very sensitive to moods?' or 'I sense that you
have had some issues with someone in authority'. It's a rare
person who'd disagree with either of those statements.

6. Give them all the rope they need to tell you what they
want to hear. Listen more than talk. Encourage confidences
with nonverbal cues like nods and attention, then repeat
what you were told in slightly different words. Most people
won't even realize how much they've told you.

That's really about all there is to most of the psychics
that you'll run into on the phone and internet pay-per-
minute services. A heightened sense of obersvation and
perception, a few little tricks to draw out information, and
the chutzpah to pass it off as some sort of arcane secret
technique.
