Conditional:<br />

Make sure that nothing you say is definite. Peo-<br />

ple can easily say “no, that’s not right.” to a<br />

definite statement.<br />

Do not say, “You are confident.”<br />

Say, “You can be confident at times.”<br />

False speCiFiCation:<br />

Imply specificity by <strong>com</strong>paring this person’s<br />

traits to everyone else’s.<br />

Say, “though most people don’t think before<br />

they act, you almost spend too much time<br />

thinking before acting.<br />

aFFirmation:<br />

get them to accept your authority by respond-<br />

ing to them with words like,<br />

“Yes.”<br />

“right.”<br />

there’s no way I‘d<br />

date a scorpio.<br />

ConFidenCe:<br />

Act like everything you say is true.<br />

Don’t doubt what you say.<br />

sound bytes:<br />

Do say everything like you’re the authority.<br />

Always think about the words you use. they should sound mystical<br />

and deep. they should also make the person you’re reading feel like<br />

everything is specifically about them. Here are a few <strong>com</strong>mon sound<br />

bytes to think about when cold reading:<br />

Personal Journey…<br />

the way you experience…<br />

the feeling you get…<br />

Breaking the <strong>com</strong>mon pattern…<br />

two paths to choose…<br />

You have this positive (or negative) energy…<br />

opposites:<br />

Most emotions and actions have a dual nature.<br />

<strong>com</strong>bine opposite qualities into the same sen-<br />

tence for a powerful cold read.<br />

Say, “I’m certain at times you can be lazy or<br />

lethargic, while at other times, when you are<br />

doing something you’re interested in, you<br />

work like a maniac.”<br />

approVal:<br />

People agree with positive statements about<br />

themselves and disagree with negative state-<br />

ments about themselves. Merge the two prin-<br />

ciples.<br />

Say, “some people think you lack confidence,<br />

when you’re really a confident person. gen-<br />

erally, they confuse the fact that you like to<br />

watch and learn before you speak.”
