Cold reading - demonstrated

A must watch! This is a classic demonstration (by Derren Brown) of the effectiveness of the Cold reading technique. I talked about this technique in my earlier post.

Derren hands out individual personal analysis of various people from different cultural origins based on their hand print and birth dates. Everyone is amazed at the accuracy of this analysis and the last part of the video explains how it was done. This will fix your concepts about horoscopes et al.

Enjoy!



If you like this one, go to this page at youtube where you will find hundreds of video clips by Derren. Every single one of them is an eye opener. Read more about Derren at the Wikipedia article.

Psychics

Here you will find videos with Derren Brown performing and explaining the psychic phenomenon. You will notice if our mind can perceive things like he explains, many other things that we consider paranormal, are nothing more than an illusion.

Enjoy!
