advanced culturally over the years,and yet the popularity of those claiming to have psychic abilities has not decreased so much as it has broken off into it’s own profitable market. The psychic craze has gone from spoon bending to the simple businesses of fortune telling, palm reading, and communicating with a client’s recently deceased friends and family. Although the first two are rather harmless, they are all achieved through vague descriptions, or cold readings, that fit in the lives of the average person. In James Randi’s documentary, James makes a wager with his friend, Ray Hyman, a psychologist and professional palm reader. He bet him that he would do just as well if he said the opposite of what he read in the palm of his next client. After doing just that, Ray was shocked by his client 's lack of response, he then goes on to say: “It turns out that it was because she was so stunned that I was so accurate.” Ray learned palm reading techniques by reading guide books without believing in them at all. The same can be done for psychic readings and fortune telling. Cold reading is very common among those with supposed psychic abilities. In reality, they are simply techniques that you can learn online to apply at www.PsychicSource.com; Where people pay $1/minute for you to give them a reading through an online chat room.
