Junior Skeptic 33: The Art of Cold Reading
This special issue of Junior Skeptic was written by Pat Linse, the creator of Junior Skeptic. In this issue, you’ll discover the work of Ian Rowland, an expert on “cold reading” — sneaky techniques for convincing complete strangers that you know all about them.

Rowland always admits that he uses trickery on stage. Unfortunately, some people use cold reading techniques to take advantage of others. How do they do it — and how can we keep from being fooled? Let’s find out!
