In today’s video, we’re diving deep into the world of psychics, revealing the psychological tricks they use—specifically cold reading—to make their predictions seem real. While some may have genuine abilities, the vast majority of “psychics” rely on psychological manipulation to deceive you. As a hypnotherapist, I’ve seen this firsthand, and in this video, I’ll break down how cold reading works and how to protect yourself from being manipulated.
I’ll explain concepts like the Barnum Effect, universal truths, and how cold readers use body language cues to make accurate-sounding statements that apply to almost anyone. With these insights, you’ll be able to recognize when you’re being manipulated, avoid falling for these techniques, and think critically about the “insights” you’re being given.

What is the Barnum Effect and how it’s used in cold reading
How psychics and manipulators use vague statements to appear insightful
How to spot cold reading and protect yourself from deceptive tactics
Practical tips to avoid being manipulated, including how to trust your instincts and question assumptions.
