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.”
