Cold reading is a fantastic skill that is part of your overall communication strategy that can take you a long ways, no matter what you're intentions are.
Most people are clueless to what's going on around them. They walk the earth in a stupor, unable to see the cement truck that's about to mow them down. In truth, there is a HUGE amount of information our there for you to use.
That's the heart of cold reading, or any kind of
communication skills that will make it appear that you are psychic. Now, I'm not saying you should con people out of their money, or convince them you can talk to the dead. But you can use these techniques to develop an amazing amount of rapport, and develop an incredible amount of authority and credibility in a very short amount of time.
To start off with, think of the context of the conversation. Imagine what brought them there, and what they hope to get out of it. Next, think of some common fears and desires that we all have, especially how they relate to that situation.
After that, take few minutes to understand their unique demographic character. Think of a few things that have a high degree of probability of being true about them.
Believe it or not, a lot of people have the same experiences, but don't really know it. Speak about these experiences as if they are special and unique to the person you are speaking with. Don't go overboard, but lead with your assumptions.
Once you've got a few ideas about them you are pretty sure are correct, be sure to use words like "might" and "perhaps" and "maybe" so don't sound like you are trying to come across as an expert in their lives.
If you really want to take your cold reading to the next level, imagine this information is coming to you through some metaphysical cloud of knowledge, and speak as if you are actually reading it through such.
It will help you get a clearer picture, as this metaphor is very useful to get out of your head, and get into theirs. And it will also give you an incredible amount of rapport, attention and respect.
If you're just doing this for fun at parties, or if you are trying to develop real relationships, you'll be amazed how quickly this technique will work for you.
