The Sherlock Holmes cold reading approach is becoming more and more popular
thanks to hundreds of TV shows and movies that are appearing for many years.
“The Mentalist”, “Psych”, more recently “Forever”,... and of course all the series
and movies about the Sherlock Holmes character himself. The appealing of this
theme is the believability, but also spectators like to know the “why” more than
the “what”. If you present yourself as an expert of the human behavior, or as a
psychological illusionist, you need a way to show the ability to analyze people solely
watching their hands, as seen on the screens.
Here I will provide you a script to do an analytic hand reading, based on scientific
studies, stock lines, classic palmistry meanings, and common sense. In the script
there would be parts that you could apply and others that you could not, for
example the part about rings. So, it’s important you choose, if you can, someone
with interesting hands.
Sometimes I’ll provide you with a line for you to say, other times I only give some
keywords for you to expand on a reading. Anyway, the most important thing is
that you use your own words. Don’t memorize the text of this book, instead try to
write your own lines. To do that it’s important you practice alone in your house
doing readings out loud. If you find some particular phrases you like write them
down, but don’t try to memorize even these, only read them from time to time.
What is important for you to memorize is the structure and the different meanings
or keywords. This is really easy, because most of the meanings already make sense.
After the script I’ll suggest you some ways to use this reading.
