Why do fortunetellers know so much?

If you have ever turned to fortune tellers, then you probably wondered how they knew about you so much. And sometimes these people know this, which, apparently, no one should know. Perhaps they are clairvoyants? Studies show that most fortune tellers use a technique called “cold reading,” which reaches 80% confidence when divination for a complete stranger. To naive clients, this may seem like a real miracle, but in reality, the predictor simply correctly interprets the signals of the body language, has a deep knowledge of human nature, and relies on the theory of probability. Tarot cards, astrologers and palmists use the same trick. They begin to collect information about the client literally from the first minute, as soon as he crosses the threshold of their office. Many predictors do not even realize their ability to read non-verbal signals and sincerely believe in their “supernatural” abilities. It is not surprising that such conviction gives the presentation additional credibility. And besides, those who often visits predictors are pre-configured for a positive result. Tarot cards, a crystal ball, a mysterious atmosphere create ideal conditions for reading signals of the body language. In such an environment, even the most inveterate skeptic can be convinced that magic really exists. An experienced predictor perfectly deciphers the client's reactions to the questions asked and statements made, and in addition, he receives a lot of information simply from the visitor's appearance. Most of the soothsayers are women, because, as we said before, women have the innate ability to read the signals of the body and determine the emotional state of the interlocutor.
In order to clarify all of the above, let's imagine that you decided to turn to the predictor of fate. You enter a darkened room where some incense is smoked. In front of you sits a woman in a turban, with an abundance of jewelry. A crystal ball is placed on a low table in front of her.

“I'm glad you came to me. I see something bothering you. I receive powerful signals from you. I feel that what you want from life sometimes seems completely unrealistic, and you doubt whether you can succeed. I feel that you are friendly, sociable and attentive to other people. But sometimes you are closed, cautious and restrained. You are proud of your independent thinking and never take anything for granted without hard evidence. You love change and diversity. Restrictions and routine suppress and annoy you. You want to share your innermost feelings with loved ones, but consider excessive openness to be unreasonable. Now you have a strong influence on a person whose name begins with the letter "C". Next month, a woman born in November will contact you. She will make you an interesting offer. Although outwardly you may seem like a collected and energetic person, in the depths of your soul you are tormented by uncertainty. You often wonder if you made the right decision in a given situation. ”
