Cold Reading, not the theatre type, but the psychic type, is something that supposed psychics do to get information from the people that they are with. Many great examples of Cold reading can be found on youtube.com. A few examples, and it's always easier with a group of people, will follow. Let me talk about John Edward for a minute, he will try to get a read on someone and if they say it's not correct he will argue with them. He may say, and I've seen this on youtube, "You have a police officer in the family that has passed away?" The people say "No". and he'll argue, "Yes, you do". What happens here is the people go home and talk to all their relatives about a police officer that was in the family that passed away. Eventually they'll come up with Uncle Joe who was a security guard at Kmart. BINGO. John Edward was right. Was he? Nope, he just took a stab and stuck to his guns!
The thing with cold reading is you have to be confident that you are right. Below is a video of Sylvia Browne goofing up on a cold reading but being confident with her answer. It's amazing how many people actually think this woman is for real. Nothing but a actor taking as much money as she can from a bunch of ignorant people.
I can't embed the video of Sylvia Brown at this time but I can put a couple links that you can click on and view some videos where she messes up on the cold reading.
Here are a few examples of John Edward doing some cold readings. Amazing!
Not only is cold reading nothing more than a trick but many of these psychics have got rich over pulling the wool over peoples eyes. I think it's due time that we, as Christians, no longer let the ungodly benefit by fooling the public. Sylvia Browne says that her lies are from God. Can you believe that? Isn't that terrible!?
Today, say a prayer for all of the psychics of the world. Not just the Sylvia Browne's and the John Edward's of the world but also the local palm readers and local psychics that they come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior and turn from their evil ways!
To God be the glory for ever and ever, AMEN!
Matthew 5:44
