but what i wanted to ask.. you mention deductive reasoning? what is this? and is there a routine or structured conversation to go with it?
i ask because i love dropping the 1-10=7 along with various other cold reading/guessing games into my sets and would love some new material to follow up with! thanks
also if you know any cold reading (iv read the Wikipedia basics but always keen to learn ) please post you tech?
Have you seen or read Sherlock Holmes? Both the books and a few of the movies use a line that sums it up.
"I don't guess, I watch, I learn, I calculate every possibility and once I have all of the facts whichever theory remains no matter how fanciful must be the truth." I watch a person's movements and like math I add and subtract factors to deduce the truth behind each situation.
I almost never use real routines. I don't have a cheat sheet or a game plan, I walk up to girls or even guys and say whatever is on my mind. It is not always about the game for me; sometimes I just want to know the football score from a guy coming out of a pub. The routines I do use are unconscious; instead of seeing a girl and thinking 'Jealous girlfriend routine' when talking a girl may say something about meeting their girlfriends which leads to me using that routine. Most of my game I make up on the spot.
If you would like I can SPAM you to explain some more advanced cold reading. I may put up some posts about it but I will probably not go in depth. Other people have many posts about cold reading as well, they may be helpful.
I am not ready to teach the game however as cold reading and deductive reasoning are innate skills of mine as well as learnt and developed I may do a workshop on deduction in the future. That is if people can take advice from someone who, unfortunately, looks like an adolescent.
If you want a tip I have one for free.
When I wear contact lenses I keep my glasses in my pocket, this is a recent technique. I approach a group of 2-7 girls talk for a few minutes then 'diagnose' them as the funny/ sarky/ quiet one and when I get to the nerdy one, if she is not wearing glasses or sometimes if she has sunglasses I put my glasses on her. As they have large frames they look like unisex glasses on a girl.
The mixture of getting each 'diagnoses' correct and putting glasses on the nerdy one is a DHV. You also embarrass and Neg the girl who you are calling nerdy while making her friends laugh at her. If she is your target take her hands slip the glasses of and compliment her. Take her other hand and turn her away from her friends. They will start talking by themselves and you have separated her from the group. She will work to regain her self esteem. If you read any signs like pushing out her chest or raising her chin point it out and apologise in heightened language to make her blush and feel insecure.
Good luck,
Sherlock
