This is a #coldreading #monologue I did for an audition a couple of years ago. I decided to share it today because of all the things that are happening to #women regarding #sexuality & #Healthcare I felt like it was relative.

Mentalists who entertain their audience, and Mediums who defraud their victims would like everyone to believe #MicroExpressions and #ColdReading are invalid and unusable.

Give tarot cards and palm readers a miss.

Book recommendation:

"The Full Facts Book of Cold Reading"
Ian Rowland

This book doesn't teach you to be a cold reader. It's not necessarily a flaw; you can read it to learn how to understand and recognize when #ColdReading techniques are being directed at you.

I suspect that there's some sort of overlap between cold reading techniques and the strategies of #PoliticalDiscourse in the USA that plays to ignorance of concepts such as "verification" and "fact."
