If y'all go to
Mr. Rowland'south website
, you'll become a meliorate description of the book than tin can be given here, as well equally countless testimonials and independent reviews. Of course, since it
is
Mr. Rowland's site, all the reviews are favorable... 
BUT
the book is that good. The negative reactions against it haven't been for the content, but rather Mr. Rowland's tone, which can be abrasively superior. Some experience the passage well-nigh baiting shut-eye psychics rude, or at all-time unwise. Mr. Rowland doesn't endure fools politely.
But the stuff on cold reading is first rate. It is written so that a beginner can use it, only a seasoned professional person tin can pick up valuable insights. It is far more complete than say, Lee Earle'due south
The Classic Reading
or Kenton Knepper'due south
Completely Cold.
(The material in those is covered in ane section each in Mr. Rowland's volume.)

Without a long review I tin say its a very interesting book, and certainly is useful even if you lot don't plan on doing cold reading, it has some nice techniques and linguistic communication y'all tin utilise in everday performances.

How-do-you-do,
Following on from a posting recently in the 'Sweetness and Sour' forum, but to ostend that nosotros are now stocking this volume, with Ian Rowlands full cognition and co-functioning.
He has previously only made copies available directly from his website, and not supplied via dealers. The book, and an area of his website does currently state that the book is non available from anywhere else, which has atomic number 82 to a fleck of defoliation.
A copy of the understanding can be establish on Ian's website:-
http://www.ianrowland.com/Attic/CarlFraser.php
I would certainly repeat the comments above, that this is an excellent book, and a great read, and something that we are very pleased to be stocking.
best regards

That dislocated me too because your site said
"MagicTricks.co.great britain are proud to be the ONLY magic dealer in the WORLD to stock this item!"

Volition this book requite me enough information to do so? (Assume I know enough about tarot cards or palm reading or whatever to false my fashion through information technology)

Yes.
The Full Facts of Cold Reading
will requite y'all all the information to become from consummate novice to professional person. The only catch is that there'southward no way to practice it without doing it nether fire, and that's inherent in common cold reading, not in Mr. Rowland's piece of work.
And while I know y'all didn't mean it literally, I'm going to indulge in some avuncular advice concerning something you said.

If you go into cold reading, sooner or subsequently you'll see someone who takes "tarot cards or palm reading or any" seriously, and is likely to exist loudly offended if yous don't know what you lot're talking well-nigh. Whatever divination organization you choose to use,
learn
it.

Thanks for that. I realised that saying 'simulated my mode through it' wasn't the best fashion of putting it but at least y'all understood what I meant.
Right me if I'm wrong, but from what y'all've said information technology sounds similar the book will actually teach yous methods, whereas other things I've read about information technology suggest that it merely explains methods, without actually instruction them. Which is correct?

I don't understand the distinction between "teach" and "explain". In
The Total Facts of Cold Reading,
Mr. Rowland identifies methods that can exist used during a cold reading, what those methods are probable to accomplish, how to use those methods, and example dialog snippets using those methods. Is that "teaching" or "explaining"?
And every bit I said in an earlier mail service in this thread,
The Full Facts of Cold Reading
is far more complete than
anything
else I've seen on common cold reading. Kenton Knepper's
Completely Cold
covers only
one
method, and Lee Earle'due south
The Archetype Reading
arguably covers two. This fabric is but a fraction of what Mr. Rowland covers.

The deviation between 'teach' and 'explicate' (perchance I should have said 'reveal') is similar the difference between somebody proverb "A second deal is where you take the second card like this" and somebody maxim "Ok, hold the deck similar this, push off the top card similar this..."
Ultimately I guess I'k asking whether this book is a 'how-to manual' or 'expose'.

I fully agree with the comments on Ians book, i picked it upwardly and havent put it down even so, equally i always flick through and find something else.
Adam V as for Tarot if you look through the athenaeum of the chilling, mystierius and the baroque i have listed my manner of remembering the cards.
With that Ians book and possibly The 78 Degrees of Wisdom, you should exist able to give a reading to whatsoever proffesional card reader(i have).

I was pretty sure that'due south what you meant, just being a computational linguist, I exercise semantics for a living. I'd've said
teach
or
expose
, the difference being in the first one
explains
the methods and doesn't in the second.
Anyway, as I tried to make clear,
The Full Facts of Common cold Reading
is a 'how-to manual'. There are no sleights in cold reading, in that location are only subtle (and ok, sometimes not so subtle) means to dispense people pyschologically that
commonly
work. Mr. Rowland catalogs these manipulations, explains what they can accomplish, suggests when to use them, and gives pocket-size examples of them in apply. That certainly fits my definition of a 'how-to manual'.

Greetings,
I empathise what you hateful between teaching and explaining. Almost cold reading books tell you what to do, but not HOW to do it. There is a book coming out that bridges that gap called the Dance by Brad Henderson.
The Trip the light fantastic toe is probably the beginning book to address cold reading equally a process instead of a product. Brad teaches how to spin your words into successful hits, and how to practice this in both i on one and phase environments.
I will add that I was in some way responsible for getting Brad to write the book, but I won't benefit from the success of its sales in whatever fashion. I simply felt that his take on cold-reading as amusement was truly unique, as well equally his approach to the ethical mine-field.
