hey guys i need some cold reading rountines besides strawberry field and the cube routine. i am in search of a cold reading routine that can be used in a2 stage so if any of you PUA out there has a cold reading routine feel free to post it .

Some other CR Routines include, palm reading, understanding hand-writing, The Animal Routine, which I think I have posted in the Routines somewhere. If you can't find it just ask to have it reposted.

Basically with Palm reading, most people will actaully study it well... with me I just browsed over it and learned which lines were which. When I do any sort of cold reading I generalize like a horoscope would. I tell them what they wanna hear... something that will make them sound amazing. For me that is the trick to cold reading, and thats generalization.

An Example would be you read a girls palm. (If she is single..) This is your love line... also with palm reading you can do alot of kino... tracing your finger up her palm very gently. But you basically would say something like your love line and how it's shaped says that you are still looking for Mr.Right, you are not sure who he is though, you are a passonate person blah blah blah. Something like that

As a professional mentalist/hypnotist and NLP expert (am I too self-assured?) I have lots of cold reading routines and I'll write some of the lines that always always work! After doing some "mind-reading" guessing numbers, words and playing cards I say I can also read their palm. At this time I have all the female audience in the group begging me to read theirs. Basically I follow this steps:

1. I look at their style of clothing and talking. Also their representational system (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) just to match my language when I speak to them.

2. ask for their hand. No matter what hand they give you to read, you say "No not that one. The other one. I don't wanna talk about your future yet..." This automatically suggests that you're a pro - you know which hand represents which period in their life.

3. Just look at the lines, examine them and start saying common characteristics that match their style. For instance if you're talking to a girl dressed as an hippie with pierced ears and so on you will obviously say "I see you're a pretty independent and alternative girl and you're proud of being different and thinking in a different way....You're also an open-minded person with a very emotional side in it which is very good but.....(and the next line will work for EVERYBODY) that also makes you suffer a bit on your relationships...sometimes you get a bit too emotional and too involved on people. And sometimes your expectations don't match theirs....(This will work for everybody!).

4. Just go on talking about their way of being in relationships...they love that...and always look for they body language...it's so easy to see when you're absolutely right or wrong...when you're more or less right their expression will be more serious and in a "kind of...yeah...maybe..." way.
And they'll always tell you more details and things about their personal life that you can absorb and use on the next lines. Trust me...it's easier than you think.

5. Ultimately when you find someone like you (same interests, same style) you'll see that you can talk about you, about your own way of being and you'll be completely spot on with everything you say about them. I always love to chose that kind of girls and they always get to see I'm like them which builds a lot of rapport. I don't even have to say a thing...remember...suggestion is the key to everything.

I'm writing too much...if you want more just say...I have dozens of books on the subject and I've been doing this for years...I always end up receiving such comments as "Oh my god...you know me better than my best friends and we just met! How's that possible?" "I feel strongly connected to you..it seems I know you for a loong time..." "How do you know all that stuff from me? You even said things I never told to anybody!"

I'm sure that all of you guys who work with cold reading, NLP and hypnosis/suggestion techniques are more than used to hear this type of comments....for me it's like the most natural thing in the world...

Anyway..there are a lot of subtleties I'll be glad to share with all the interested ones! And the "how-to's" to deal with skeptics, self assured and hard to deal with girls.

See ya around! Great thread by the way!

That my friend, is an extremely good idea, props on that one buddy.

very good method....its very easy to follow your steps. well written
nice
thanks

Are there any specific books I can read on how to be a good cold reader?

Hey guys!
Since my post on CR routines I have received a lot of PMs asking for more details and books to read.
Well first of all I am sorry for the delay but I've been a bit away of the PUA community since I started a more serious relationship . Nowadays I still do CR of course cause it's part of my job as a mentalist/hypnotist but no longer in a FMAC/seduction setting.

Anyway...let's put it into topics:

1 - This is my ultimate favourite book on Cold Reading (I was really considering not to tell you about this...this is THE mentalist's Bible to Cold Reading) - Ian Rowland - Full Facts Book of Cold Reading.


2 - Someone was asking me in a PM if the routines I mention work on anyone and what to use for instance in a girl standing in a bar wearing jeans and t-shirt:

Once again I do care a lot about the way they dress and present themselves. A pair of jeans and a t-shirt can be either too ordinary or extremely sophisticated depending upon her style. For instance if can see Scarllet Johansson in some 1000$ jeans and a nice designer's t-shirt or you can see that everyday girl wearing a normal pair of jeans and a rather normal t-shirt. You see the difference?
But there are some interesting contraditory examples. Instantly comes to my mind Britney Spears - She wears very expensive clothes but she looks like sh** (at least for me). Most of the time she'll look like an attention wh***. Although she's wearing some very expensive brands she surely doesn't know what the word sober means (lol, in both senses of the word but I was referring to clothing!). This obviously shows her lack of self-esteem and her need of approval, applause, attention, stage lights. It's what I call the artist's syndrome.

There are several indicators of wealth, health, self-esteem, care, etc, you can easily spot and evaluate even before you walk up to her. With practice you'll be able to tell exactly what they do for a living and what their hobbies are just by making a good evaluation beforehand. Here's some things to look at:
- The way she dresses
- Jewelry (don't forget to tell if it's fake or real)
- Make-up, cosmetics, perfume, facial care
- Handbag (brand, size, color)
- Accessories
- Shoes! (women also look a LOT to men's shoes! They can definately tell what you are and what is your status just by loking at your shoes! I am amazed how accurate they can be!)
- Posture (for instance - a little hunchback (neck/head leaning down) indicates lack of self-confidence)
- The way she talks (volume, tone, speech - indicates which representational system she prefers and also gives you clues on her self-image)
- Smokes or not /drinks or not (oce again, excessive bad habits indicate lack of self-confidence and need of approval)


There is a LOT of things to look for! This is just an example! After you start talking you just start pulling off some of the things you've just noticed and she'll start giving you more and more information, filling in the blanks:). After a while she's in total rapport and you're on your way!

Some people might say "oh..the guy relates psychological confidence and self-esteem with almost everything -seems a bit too freudian." Well it is!
I've been studying human behaviour and advanced psychology since I was like 15! I read a lot of personality theories and behaviour and Cold Reading for me is something that comes really easy. I think that once you start studying psychology you'll soon be doing extremely advanced cold reading routines with almost no effort. Cause everything comes down to one thing - the way our brain processes reality and the way reality influences and gets influenced by our behaviour. Once you learn the patterns of human behaviour (through psychology, NLP, hypnosis, etc..) you know how to do Cold Reading. That easy. Trust me.


I'll be around. Any questions, just ask!

Before you could read her talk for a while this will give you time to collect some information then later you can mention to her that you have this natural ability to read palms.

But don't repeat exactly what she told you to her.

Well the thing is as soon as you spot her you will always make judgements on her. That's what every human being naturally does. We are constantly evaluating and making judgements of people we see and meet. And the great thing is that usually our first impressions are always right. At least that's what happens to me. Ultimately we can say that we only go for a girl we don't know just because of our first impression thus meaning you always make social choices based upon your first impressions.
When I meet a girl I won't of course tell her right away "hey, I can read your mind/palm/personality/whatever." That will be that little extra I'll add after she shows interest in me. That'll be like the big climax. And of course this enabled me to collect some precious data on her while we were chating.

So yes, having a previous conversation does help you a lot!

good one

Beauty destroying cold reads work the best when you're in the attraction phase.

Here's one I use, which I think is originally an RJ line. I heard it first from Mystery.

I have an intuition about you. I bet you that most people think you've had life a lot easier than you actually have, because of the way you look. I don't think that's the case though. I think you've actually had to work harder than most people and at the same time you've had to play the role and make it seem like it's all coming easy. That must be difficult.

Panpan is really good at cold reads...so you should message him about this. He did one for me and he was highly accurate and that was through the PUA chat!

thanks JohnnyB for that. very clear.

More than welcome;). It's always a pleasure to talk about cold reading. I could spend days talking about it;)
