Cold reading (cold reading) refers to a series of techniques used by professional manipulators to get a specific type of thinking and allows you to think that the manipulator (the reader) can have a strange way to know the exact facts about any subject. It goes beyond the usual manipulation tools such as suggestion and flattery. The manipulator starts with the basics, which are applicable to large categories of the population.

Ghost Pepper
This illusion was used in theatrical productions of the XVIII-XIX centuries, but greater fame was acquired through the use of séances of the middle XIX - early XX century. The secret lies in the special position of the glass, which should be placed under an angle of 45 degrees to the viewer so that he did not see the hidden room, whose walls are specially painted in black. When a secret room is lit, the glass reflected in the room objects, and achieved the desired effect of the Ghost image.
A special case of the version with the reflection in the glass.
As an illustration, has been used a frame from the TV series "the Mentalist".

There is a trick that allows you to pretend that guessing the suit of the card happens in 100% of cases. This deck is divided into red and black exactly in half before the start of focus.
Of all the cards get 4: 2 red and 2 black. The first two (red and black) laid on the table, the second - removed face down in the middle of the deck (where red and black are separated). If someone learns the color of the top suits of the cards are laid out in the designated stack in arbitrary order. After passing the middle, color in the stack is reversed and placed again in an arbitrary order.
Thus, in the single stack division is correct, and the second upper and lower part quietly change places.

Communication with the brownie with the help of spoons and pieces of paper
- we take 4 spoons and 4 strips of paper.
- we fold each piece of paper in half and put a spoon in it.
- wrap around the thin part of the spoon (between the handle of the spoon and its main part).
- all 4 spoons are folded in the form of a cross with the thick side to each other
- we say: "Brownie, if you are, free at least one spoon."
- counting to 10.
- unwinding and watching. If the answer is "yes", then at least one of the spoons will not be wrapped in paper, but wrapped with double paper around.
Exposing the focus (self-deception): All the pieces of paper unfold a little when they are released from their hands. If the piece of paper unfolds quite strongly, then, when unwinding, a person corrects it so that both ends are held in his fingers, while he can "correct" the upper unfolded end against the direction of wrapping (it may turn out that it is closer to connect the ends). Thus, the spoon will be outside the fold. It is best to check this with multi-colored paper from different sides to make sure of the principle of operation.
We found a video with a detailed exposure.
