Derren Brown - Cold Reading

Comments on 'Derren Brown - Cold Reading'

1. Well. you could do a little reading about the Barnum effect,
   named after P. T. Barnum.
2. anyone else see those white mexicans?
3. He be trollin'
4. He "planted" the memory in his mind. Check out this other
   video from Derren. watch?v=befugtgikMg
5. how did he know that this gy almost at is drowned?? and what
   is written in the analasis?
6. This makes me want to become a 'psychic' now
7. its so creepy how he dressed as a clown!!
8. I would definitely like to read that text too, please PM me
   if you got it.
9. I would shit my self if that clown would sit in front of me
   and just stare at me...
10. If someone can find the text he is using, please send me a
    message!
11. You've watched Bullshit it seems. It was PT Barnum that did
    this first actually.
12. The title of the Lee Earle booklet is "The Classic Reading."
13. The author Herb Dewey has a book called "psychic readings".
    Im guessing taylor's first name is Samuel. And which book
    are you talking about when it comes to Lee earle?
14. Best not to claim psychic ability, unless you have it, or do
    anything that invites her four friends to ask for their own
    readings unless you've memorized all 52 truisms. By the
    way, Forers truisms came from horoscope information as well
    there was no attempt to match the astrological sign the
    information came form with the astrological sign of the
    subject.
15. Average accuracy rating for Forer's readings was 4.26 on a 1
    to 5 scale. All subjects were given identical readings.
    Those asked for birth month rated accuracy higher than those
    who werent, and those asked for birth date rated accuracy
    highest of all. The point: the subject should believe the
    reading is based on something unique to her birthday,
    palmistry, something she said, or even which finger she
    wears a ring on, rather than plucked from thin air.
16. The title is "Psychic Reading." I bought it (no cover) for
    $1. First few pages (including title and copyright pages)
    came off last time I moved. As I recall it was printed in
    1924 and the author's last name is Taylor. Some truisms
    used in Forer's 1948 research are very similar to some of
    Barnum's. There are a dozen of them in The Classic Reading,
    a 16-page booklet by Lee Earle (1989). One of my favorites
    is "Your sexual adjustment has presented some problems for
    you."
17. "HE-HE"
18. Hi! Thx for the information! Very interesting stuff! Do you
    have a name on the book you have?
19. all it takes is belief ;)
20. This was done by James Randi long time ago. He did this with
    people's astrological signs.
21. This video doesn´t prove anything. Sure there are cold
    readers out there but there are also genuine mediums who can
    talk to spirits on the other side such as Lisa Williams and
    James van Praagh for example.
22. pedo clown!
23. that clown was disturbing.
24. derren brown. the power of suggestion is at his side. This
    is awesome how he does it.
25. ...and Tarot reader. The vast majority of her clients are
    women.) Most of the statements are double-edged, i.e., "You
    tend to be like this -- but sometimes you are like that."
    I've read dozens or books and ebooks on cold reading. By far
    the best source I've found is the "Natural Vibing" CD set by
    Swinggcat, which has a couple of CDs on cold reading."
