Description: Article by James Randi about cold reading.
Library, The Art of Cold Reading The Art of "Cold Reading" The currently-popular "psychics" like Sylvia Browne, James Van Praagh, and John Edward, who are getting so much TV space on Montel Williams, Larry King, and other shows, employ a technique known as "cold reading."

This is a very deceptive art, and the unwary observer may come away believing that unknown data was developed by some wondrous means. Not so.
