Some say that the host of Crossing Over uses a souped up version.
Any ideas on how it works?

He's coming to a convention center very close to where I live in October...I'm considering going. I think I'd have a better idea of whether or not he's for real if I were able to experience something for myself. I'm very curious.

I guess you just have to take your chances. Even if you go, I don't think there's a guarantee that the spirits he sees are related to you. I don't think everybody in the audience gets chosen, is that correct?

Yes, you're right...it's not promised that he would even pick me out of the crowd. I figure if I have extra money and go, I'd just be taking the chance of it maybe happening. Who knows.

Funny, I was just thinking of starting a topic like this... I'm nearly finished reading John Edward's book, and I'm really unsure whether or not to believe he's the real thing. I'm a believer in the paranormal, but I try to have a healthy amount of skepticism, too. I'd like to believe that he really can do the things he says he can because he seems to help a lot of people come to terms with losing a loved one, but like you said, cold reading...it can seem very "real" sometimes.

i have just finished reading john edwards book, i thought it was quite good, i have heard that people say he is cold reading but i dont think he is.
i dont know if any one has heard of gordon smith, he is quite famous. i seen him last year and i didnt think much of him. i think he is definitely cold reading.

Well, I'm a psychic, and I have a good feeling about him, plus, my mentor, who is a much better psychic than I, feels good about him too and that's what clinches it for me.
I agree!
It's a feeling you get when you watch him.

Many say that the art of Cold Reading is how fake tarot card readers and palmists manipulate their suckers.

I can read for people I've just met, and since I'm not Sherlock Holmes, I don't infer that much about their external appearance. None of us can escape the impressions that experience give us, and we all make judgements based on another's appearance. Sometimes this is good and sometimes bad.
If you're walking home alone at night and you see a poorly dressed, unshaven, slouchy man approach you, what will you do? Your reaction may be based on self-preservation as opposed to a wish to be open-minded.
I base my readings on the ideas I get from my cards and my intuition as to what they represent. Perhaps those 'fake cold readers' are just using the basic intuition that we're all born with, and the good ones may be in better tune than the average person.
I'm not saying that all cold readings are good, but I have had them before, and in 30% of the cases, I come away with some insight.
