TWO CD Set!

The classic reference for making cold readers in under 24 hours just got pushed to the next level! On two CDs you will get all the inside work so you can begin to do readings virtually overnight.

NO memorizing. NO props. Get this material in your head and be ready to go to work as a reader tomorrow.

This new version contains the entire original material as an audio book, plus an application for use with a mental card forcing equivoque, Kenton's answer to those afraid to doing readings and more. Then a second CD teaches you by example as you listen to "Cold" in action in real life readings situations. It's the missing piece everyone has been waiting to have - here at last.

The Original "Completely Cold" has launched the careers of many readers, and literally taught mentalists overnight how to sneak readings into their everyday conversations to gain rapport.

See the original "Completely Cold" product (below) for details if you are not yet aware of the power of "Completely Cold."

Overview

The rating (4 stars) is not exactly befitting my personal opinion. I have never touched, looked at or listened to anything pertaining to cold reading before now. A lot of it is (mostly) built around a vocabulary where the performer uses certain words to steer the reading in a way that the spectator feels it was very "spot on", even though it was largely general and random. The 2 CD-set honestly delivers from a teaching standpoint. I was extremely impressed how Kenton used some real readings, including one that did not go perfectly to formula, even though the participant felt extremely positive about the reading.
The problem with cold readings is: I just kinda don't get them. Are you trying to console the person? Are you trying to get them to believe that you can see inside their personal lives? I mean...what is the deal with them? I might be able to speak well about all of this if I could see something live and then interview the person 1 week later. At its root, it all sounds like a person using magic words to make a person believe that you really care about their struggles and suffering and that they walk away from the table with "good advice". As a social worker, I find all that to be a tiny bit creepy. Not saying I would never do it! I don't own a high horse, and try to never climb up on one! I just am not sure about some of it.
Not being familiar with a range of teaching projects on this topic, my general thoughts are: it delivers what it is trying to sell. Let me say this: I am 99% sure I will be keeping this audio CD-set for some time.

Effect

From what is heard on CD 2, the spectators had pretty positive responses in terms of the reading. Essentially: this seeks to teach you the general vocabulary/process of delivering cold readings.

Method

The method is essentially built around following a script, so-to-speak. It isn't terribly complex. If you are patient, and focused, you should be able to get most of this within a few evenings (at most).

Product Quality

The case and graphics are fine. CD 1 seemed to play a bit more readily than did CD 2. Remember: this is an audio lecture. No photos, no video.

Ad Copy Integrity

The ad copy is fairly solid overall. Kenton's stuff tends to have it's own "hype factor", so there is that to consider.

Suggestions

If (like me) you have zero familiarity with the topic of Cold Readings, it seems this would be an excellent starting point.
