ABOUT THE AUTHOR – JONATHAN ROYLE
Born Plain Alex William Smith on the 13th August 1975 into a Showbiz
Family whilst travelling with Gandey’s Circus, Royle made his stage debut
aged 3 and a bit as Flap The Clown alongside his father Tizzy the Clown
aka Les-Le-Roy.
His Astrological Star Chart shows that he was born in Leo and that Leo
appears in many other positions of his chart indicating that he was destined
to be a Performer & Leader from the day he was born!

At an early age Royle discovered that his Grandmothers (on his Father’s
side) Aunty Ellen was a Tea Leaf Reader and Palmist in Heywood,
Lancashire, (England) during the war and also had predicted the sinking of
the Titanic before it embarked on its first (and last) journey.
Upon investigation he also discovered that he has direct family links with
Romany Gypsy’s who also originally bore the surname Smith.
The Romani for Smith (or farrier) is Petulengro which is sometimes used
as an alternative surname to Smith.
Evidence seems to suggest that Royle has direct family links to Xavier
Petulengro (Walter Smith) who was dubbed by many as King of the
Gypsy’s and was it seems born in Rochdale just a few miles down the road
from Heywood where Royle’s Father, Grandfather and many other
relatives hail from originally.
You can discover more about Royle’s Relative Xavier Petulengro on
Wikipedia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xavier_Petulengro
Pictured above is Xavier Petulengro (Walter Smith) also known as Gypsy
Petulengro, who was more glamorously titled the ‘King of the Gypsies.’
He was a massively popular figure through the 1930s and 1940s because
of his books, newspaper columns and radio broadcasts. Though he
travelled widely, and lived in many places, at his own request he was
buried at All Saints’ Church in Viney Hill, Forest of Dean, in what was a
spectacular, ‘celebrity’ funeral. He was known to have visited the area
many times during his life, and it was clearly a special place to him. The
funeral was arranged by his friends Mr & Mrs Vine, who he had often
stayed with and who lived opposite the church. The funeral was in
traditional Romanichal style, with about 200 official mourners, some in
traditional costumes, plus over 1,500 sightseers including local children
given the day off from school so they could attend. He was significant in
popular culture, and news of his death and funeral was broadcast all over
the world.
As he grew up Royle’s interests and performing activities developed into
Magic, Stage Illusion and Mentalism (Mind-Reading) and shortly after he
had turned 14 in 1989 regular appearances at Psychic Fairs around the
North-West of England were a regular occurrence with his apparently
inherited natural Psychic Skills & Intuitive abilities.

In the early 90’s in one of his many former stage names of Alex-Le-Roy
he was regularly featured in International Spiritualist Newspaper Psychic
News who during this time dubbed him as The New Uri Geller and Doris
Stokes (Famous British Medium) Rolled into one.
Around this time he also developed his own Unique & Bizarre approaches
to Fortune Telling of Omphalomancy better known as Navel-Gazing or
Psychic Belly Button Reading and also Pawology better known as
Palmistry for Dogs & Cats or Psychic Paw Reading.
These approaches along with Hose-Pipe Reading, Tea Bag Readings and
Psychic Tree Slapping have seen him featured on hundreds of Television
and Radio shows around the world over the decades and also featured in
International Newspapers and Magazines revealing the fortunes of Major
A-List Celebrities on a regular basis.
Along the way this media exposure taught him the very true fact that even
apparently negative or critical articles can often lead to more work and
increased interest in the services that you are offering as a Psychic
Consultant, Spiritual Adviser & Paranormal Entertainer.

Royle Pictured above with The Presenters of ITV’s Hit Television Show
This Morning after a feature on Belly Button Reading.
This was one of the occasions when the British National Media twisted out
of context what I actually said to Christine Hamilton (the lady on left of
picture) when I was making predictions for her without being able to see
her face as she was behind a screen revealing only her Belly Button to me
and the shows viewers.

Despite the article you have just seen being critical it was still great
publicity and just like the more positive article below for my Pawology
approach it brought in lots of extra business.

At the time of starting to write this book the date is 13th September 2020
and thus to date Royle has been involved actively on a Professional Paid
Level within the Psychic Industry for over 31+ years and along the way
has on occasions worked alongside many of the leading names in the
Industry such as The Late British Psychic Medium Derek Acorah with
whom he is pictured below.
Over the years he has also conducted and presented Ghost Hunts &
Paranormal Investigation events and during this time has had the pleasure
of working alongside such industry greats as Paul Voodini who has in the
past stated about Royle’s Publications:
"Jonathan Royle aka Alex Smith is certainly a person who has 'been there,
done that'. From live shows, TV performances, and training courses, Alex
has gained an immense amount of experience and information. All of this
information and experience is crammed into his latest release. With Alex,
what you see is what you get. And this rings true also with his instructional
material. There are no frills or unnecessary garnish, just good solid advice,
and this release is full of good solid advice. If you have any interest at all
in the world of the psychic performer, then this book will give you the
foundation stones and the building blocks you need to go out there and do
it for yourself."
- PAUL VOODINI
Indeed it is to true to state that Royle’s Knowledge, Experience and
teachings on all areas of the Psychic, Paranormal and Supernatural
Entertainment Industries are held in high regard by those who truly know
the industry inside out, this testimonial from the Legendary Cold Reading
author Richard Webster being yet another example of what fellow
professionals think of his work:
"I haven't read such an enthralling book in a long time. It starts off with a
comprehensive section on the methods of fake spirit mediums. Alex
explains his full evening presentation in great detail. This section alone
makes the book well worth its price. Alex goes on to include sections on
Tarot readings, navel reading, navel healing, psychic stunts that appear
genuine, the astrologer's dream, how to determine people's horoscope signs
during a show, and past life regressions. Everything is practical, easy to
perform, and explained well. This book isn't for everyone, but is essential
reading if you're remotely interested in the world of the psychic. Once I
started reading it, I couldn't put it down!"
RICHARD WEBSTER - December 2015. (Review of the Psychic
Secrets of Alex-Le-Roy)
The image at the bottom of the last page shows the author channeling the
Spirit of somebody from the other side during one of the Paranormal
Investigation and Ghost Hunt nights that he used to run on a regular basis
for a company in England called INVISITATION whose dot com website
of that name can still be seen on Web Archive.

You’d be surprised just how eager and happy random strangers are to
reveal their Belly Button to me when they find out that I can tell them
about their Past, Present and Future as well as detailing their true
personality all from examining their Navel.
And as you will learn within the pages of this book, the real truth is that it
does not really matter whether you are you are giving a reading using
Energy Psychometry, Numerology, Palmistry, Astrology, Rune casting or
Tarot Reading or indeed via the persons Belly Button the true underlying
principles of how and why these can and often do all work so effectively
and accurately boils down to the exact same Psychological principles that
you will learn within these pages and the accompanying instructional
video links.
Before we get started with revealing the true inside secrets of The Art of
Fortune Telling for Fun & Profit and you discover how to EN-PART your
Psychic Wisdom to others here is the wording from an article that

appeared about me in another of my former Stage names David Williams
within the British National Sunday Newspaper The People on Sunday 21st
July 1996…
LET ME CONTEMPLATE YOUR NAVEL AND I'LL TELL YOU
THE FUTURE!
Psychic Belly Reader David gets it right on the button.
Psychic David Williams has more than his finger on the pulse when it
comes to predicting the future.
Given half a chance he'll have his finger in your belly button!
What began as a challenge among friends has turned into a major earner
for David, who has read the celebrity belly buttons of boxer Frank Bruno,
telly presenter Zoe Ball and comedian Rory Bremner.
And his bizarre technique, based on ancient American Indian teaching, is
proving eerily accurate.
"When I did Zoe Ball I told her she'd just moved house, was thinking of
buying a car and was having relationship trouble," said David, 21, of
Telford, Shropshire.
"I don't know who was more amazed, me or her, because it was all true!"
He discovered the ancient art while reading text books on fortune-telling.
"The American Indians believed the navel was one of seven energy points
which could be used for tapping into a person's psyche.
"By touching someone's belly button I can tell their personality and predict
their future," he said.
David claims he can even heal by touching a person's navel. "I was on a
German TV show and one of the cameramen was suffering from tennis
elbow and had his arm in a sling.
"I held a quartz crystal to his belly button and concentrated on channelling
warmth into his body.
"He'd been unable to even lift his arm out of the sling before but when I
finished he was moving his arm quite freely," he said.
David, who will be appearing on BBC and ITV in the autumn, is still
perfecting his technique.
"I never expected it to take off the way it has but it's getting bigger all the
time!" he said.
He's a star turn in People tum test...
The People challenged David to read the belly buttons of six stars. We
showed him pictures of their navels but didn't tell him who they belonged
to.
This is what he said...

MADONNA: "She is insecure, emotional and upsets others easily by
speaking her mind. She hides her insecurities by being outrageous."
ROBBIE WILLIAMS: "He is in showbiz, knows what he wants but takes
his time to make a decision about his future. He has women swarming all
over him."
PRINCESS DIANA: "She's very stressed and worried. She worries about
worrying which may have led to psychological problems."
JEREMY BEADLE: "This man has an analytical and serious nature
though his public persona is one of mirth. He has a devious streak."
CHER: "She is very loving and caring despite having been hurt very
badly in the past. "Despite her suffering she's never let it knock her back
and she has reservoirs of confidence and willpower to succeed."
DES O'CONNOR: "This man is always trying to prove himself to others.
"He's probably got an inferiority complex and is the butt of a lot of
mickey-taking."
In the picture above I am giving Psychic Belly Button readings to random
audience members Live on Stage during a theatre show.
Video clips of that performance along with others of me presenting my
bizarre Psychic Talents of Pawology & Navel-Gazing can be seen at
www.magicalguru.com/belly-button-reading/
In short when it comes to pretty much any area of the Psychic, Fortune
Telling and Paranormal Industries Royle has, over the years worn the T-
Shirt and walked the walk extensively in a hugely successful manner so
you can have faith in his teachings herein.

SHOW PEOPLE: BUTTON UP THE CRITICS
(From Page 10 of Stage Newspaper Thursday 15th May 1997)
FAVORITE QUOTE FROM ARTICLE:
“Alex has a thoroughbred showbiz pedigree”

The Stage Newspaper – 15th May 1997.
COPY OF THE TEXT FROM THE ARTICLE READS:
BUTTON UP THE CRITICS
Gazing at photographs of the Spice Girls’ bellybuttons in order to gain

psychic knowledge of what lies in store for them, would probably strike
many fans as a lucky privilege.
But for Alex Alexander, bellybutton reader to the… stars, and paw reader
of the stars’ dogs, it is all in a day’s work.
Alex, who says he was invited to examine the Spice Girls’ navels by a
leading tabloid, has a thoroughbred showbiz pedigree.
He grew up with Gandey’s Circus, where his mother did a sharp-shooting

act and his father was Tizzy the Clown.
By the age of three and a half, Alex was Flap the Clown, following in his
father’s outsize footsteps.
Before long, he was developing a precocious talent as a magician, which,

by the time he was nine or ten, had blossomed into an interest in all things
paranormal and strange.
“I wanted to be able to duplicate them all,” he explains.
“But the more I read, the more I found that there was something in it.”
Around the age of 14, he cut down on magic and started appearing at
psychic fairs.
He also read something about the ancient American Indians believing in

energy points called chakras, one of which is almost in line with the navel.
The bellybutton- reading concept, destined to lie dormant for many years,
was born.
So does he really believe he is psychic?
“I don’t believe it’s a sixth sense it means you have extra or heightened
use of your five senses, so you perceive or see things that other people
have shut themselves off from, or conditioned themselves not to see.”
Hmmm. But whatever you make of Alex’s claims to special insight, you
have to admire his ability to reinvent himself.
He moved into stage hypnotism, under the name Alex Leroy, and says: “I
got quite successful at that, but got targeted by some of the press as
someone to hold up and hate.
“I did get involved in the seedier side of the business, doing adult shows.”
The seediness, he explains, involved moments like men giving birth to

babies: “But it’s nothing worse than anything you’d see in a Carry On
film.”
Anyhow, by this time, he says, “showbusiness was screwing my life up”,

so Alex Leroy went the same way as Flap the Clown and, for a period of
two to three weeks, he got a job selling BUPA healthcare.
Then came another turning point. He did not want to go back to stage
hypnosis too many enemies and as for magic, there was too much
competition.
So he resurrected the bellybutton idea, and, so far, so good. “I started

doing it as a bit of fun, but it’s turned out to be uncannily accurate.”
He has not read his own navel, however. Psychic he may be, but
contortionist he ain’t. ?
Psychic–Alex Alexander Is succeeding as a bellybutton reader after his

hypnotism act was targeted by the press.

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to this unique book within the pages of which it is my intention
to teach you how to Master the Arts of Fortune telling with Energetic
Psychometry, Numerology, Palmistry, Astrology, Rune Stone Casting &
Tarot Card Readings or how to EN-PART your Psychic & Intuitive
wisdom for short.
Along the way I shall also be giving you insights into how to work
Graphology, Psychic Tree Reading (Dendrographology) and even apparent
Clairvoyance into your personal one to one readings.
We’ll also take a look at giving readings from the Platform (stage) before
an audience and no doubt I’ll make mention of quirky Publicity gaining
angles like Psychic Belly Button Reading (Navel-Gazing), Paw Reading
aka Palmistry for Dogs & Cats (Pawology), Tea Bag Readings, Hose-Pipe
Readings and other Bizarre approaches.
From time to time I shall also give you some video links to type into your
web browser or to click directly on (if you have the Ebook version) and
these videos will bring to life many of the topics, techniques, strategies and
approaches that you will be learning by your study of the contents of this
publication.
This information has all been tried, tested and consistently proven to be
massively powerful and effective in the real world. You will find no pipe
dreams or armchair theory here of that I can 100% assure & guarantee you.
So get ready to become a Master of Divination & E.S.P.
That’s Extra Sensory Perception by the way not Egg, Sausage & Peas
which just happens to me the name of one of my Mentalism Shows.

Although for the Cruise Ships I was going to subtitle that show Eel Squid
& Prawns..
Incidentally that show E.S.P. received positive rave reviews not only from
the general public but also from many fellow industry experts and
professionals.
SOME COMMENTS FROM FELLOW PERFORMERS:
“Having Watched Jonathan Royles Egg Sausage Peas Show I can honestly
say it’s unique. With Psychic Belly Button Reading being the main hook
of the first half around which the Mind Reading experiments are presented,
this is most definitely not your conventional kind of Mentalism show.
However Royle has some unique, creative and entertaining takes on such
classics as the Chair Test, ACAAN, Hoys Tossed Out Deck and the
Russian Roulette Plot which are certainly worth a closer look and take
them to the next level. At times he had the audience on the edge of their
seats and overall this show was top notch”
Peter Turner.
“In short Jonathan Royle’s show Eggs, Sausage and Peas (ESP) is a
fantastic example of modern mentalism done well. He is one of those rare
performers who stand out as unique among a host of bearded clones in a

crowded field. ESP is a fun, heart warming and highly entertaining show
that will make you laugh one minute and gasp in amazement the next.”
Rosylyn walker
“If you want to be a part of something unique, then his show is a once in a
lifetime thrill that you won’t forget.”
Myke Phillips
“Two of my favourite effects, which I have performed many times, are
Hoy’s Tossed Out Deck and the Ultimate Lift. Your variations on both
were outstanding. I particularly liked showing the power of words with the
signs for the Ultimate Lift. I saw a number of effects, if they were not
original, you certainly changed them so much they might as well have
been.”
Ray Thompson
“I think this is an excellent show. I particularly like the Nail (Russian
Roulette) presentation. Well done and I hope it sells well for you and wish
you every success with it. Such a nice change from television style acts.”
Eddie Burke
“Just wanted to say thanks for a wicked show last night… really enjoyed
it! It was funny, fresh, fast-paced and very clever! Loved your ‘Table of
Doom’ routine… and lots of great routines that I’ve never seen before!
Can’t wait for the next one.”
Robert J. Temple
“Just watched part one of your Egg, Sausage and Peas Show. I have
always had my doubts about mixing comedy and mentalism until I
watched this. It really works well although I am glad to see that the
mentalism was stronger than the comedy. Your presentation was excellent
and there was plenty of audience involvement. I really enjoyed your lie
detector routine, I feel this always plays well with a large audience. Your
psychometry routine was absolutely hilarious. I have never seen belly
buttons used before to give character analyses. This is an absolute gem.
The finish with the specs ring was also strong. The book test was well
positioned in your show. As Cassidy says you should never open with a
book test otherwise your audience will think you are using a confederate.
The spectator synchronicity with cards was very baffling and the magic
square made for a very strong finish. All in all a very enjoyable show.”

ENERGETIC PSYCHOMETRY
So our journey begins with Energetic Psychometry which in short is the

ability to take hold of an object that somebody has given you that is
personal to them and then by tuning into the object and picking up on the
energies and vibrations it gives off you are able to tell the person lots of
detailed information about themselves and what is, has been or will be
going on in their lives in the near future.
Some Spiritualist Mediums who do Psychometry ask that their client bring
with them a Photograph of a relative who is now in the Spirit World with
whom they wish to make a connection, this obviously gives them the
advantage of knowing who the person is (by simply asking or using a peek
wallet as will be discussed in a later chapter) and from the Photograph
being able to get a good idea of what they looked like and often from
observing their appearance rather a good insight into what kind of person
they were whilst alive.
More generally you ask the client for a piece of Jewellery or other item
personal to them and by holding it to sense the vibrations and energies it
gives off, you are then able to give that person a reading about their Past,
Present and Future.
In recent years I’ve given people Energetic Psychometry readings by
taking hold of their Mobile Phone an item that is for a large majority of
people not just a communication device but also a Status Symbol.
By taking hold of their phone and examining it discreetly whilst apparently

meditating & concentrating on it to tune into the energies and vibrations it
gives off, you will often in conjunction with taking note of the way the
person who gave you the phone is dressed, how they look and how they
spoke and acted when giving you the phone be able to accurately guess an
amazing amount of information about the person.
These days most people have a cover or case on their phone and these can
be in a range of colours or varied designs so by having a knowledge of
what Colours mean you could add in a Colour Reading element to your
Psychometry and with cases or covers that have images or designs on often
these will help give you more of an idea what kind of person the phones
owner really is.
If the phone is not locked or it’s a phone compatible with one of the many
techniques published in various books on prop less Mentalism revealing
how to open phones without knowing the pin code or password then you
may also be able to covertly take a look through their Photographs and any
other easily accessed data from their phone giving you much valuable data
to work into your reading.
In some cases you will even hit gold and find that they have Facebook or
another Social Media Profile already open on their device and a quick
perusal of this can help make you look like a miracle worker.
This illusion of just concentrating on the phone to tune into its energies
can be massively enhanced by using one hand to perform the Gypsies
Glimpse or Gypsies Peek technique whilst holding the phone in the other
hand and using your fingers to hold it tight whilst your thumb is used to
navigate the screen which with a little practice is a whole lot easier than it
may seem at first sight.
The Gypsies Glimpse is a technique whereby it looks like you have closed
both your eyes and are also holding one hand over them as if both
concentrating and also covering your eyes even more at the same time.
However as for example your left hand is placed onto your face it is done
so that it does appear to cover your left eye but so that the fingertips of the
left hand are visibly resting on the right eyelid so that some of that closed
eyelid is visible to the audience enhancing the non verbal message that
your eyes are closed and you cannot see anything.
In truth however under your left palm area your left eye is open and
peeking downwards at the object in your hand which in this example is
their phone so you are able to glimpse whatever information you can find
of use to you.
The audience have witnessed me close both my eyes and then place my
hand over my face which as the photograph above illustrates further
compounds the idea with non verbal suggestion that I am unable to see
anything and am in fact just concentrating and tuning in on the object I am
holding in my other hand or which can then be handed to me by the client
into my spare hand.
This is a view from underneath the hand over my face and as you can see I
actually have the eye hidden by palm of my hand wide open and am able
to peek down and get a clear glimpse of anything placed into my other
hand.
By far the best explanation of this technique which you can find is on Luke
Jermay’s excellent Emotional Intelligence DVD which will also teach you
an Amazing Psychic Style Routine which, with a little thought can also be
presented as a demonstration of Psychometry by apparently picking up on
the energies & vibrations given off by the word cards used within this
excellent routine which I would 100% unreservedly recommend any
Psychic Reader to add to their arsenal
as it truly does look like a demonstration of the real thing and uses only 7
words written onto 7 business cards for the main part of the routine.
Needless to say that if you are given a piece of Jewellery to hold be sure to
take note of whether it has any engravings upon it which could give you
valuable information to work into your reading along with how old it is as
for example something obviously really old is highly likely to have been
inherited from a family member who is now in the Spirit World.
Observation is your friend when it comes to Psychometry which in reality
is mainly just a presentational front to be able to deliver stock Cold
Reading lines that seem extremely accurate and personal but in truth
would likely apply to most anyone to a large degree.
The Stock lines can be embellished upon and made more seemingly
personal and accurate to the individual by combining what you have
observed and concluded about the person from the way they are dressed,
the way they have spoken and acted, their body language and their
apparent age which all give you massive clues about the sort of person
they are and in turn the way they are likely to think and the things they are
likely to have done or want to do in their lives.
Here are some examples of Stock Cold Reading lines that appear accurate
for the vast majority of people.
YOU HAVE A STRONG NEED FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO LIKE YOU
AND FOR THEM TO ADMIRE YOU.
YOU HAVE A TENDENCY TO BE CRITICAL OF YOURSELF.
YOU HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF UNUSED CAPACITY WHICH YOU

HAVE NOT TURNED TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.
WHILE YOU HAVE SOME PERSONALITY WEAKNESSES, YOU

ARE GENERALLY ABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR THEM.
YOUR SEXUAL ADJUSTMENT HAS PRESENTED SOME

PROBLEMS FOR YOU.
DISCIPLINED AND CONTROLLED ON THE OUTSIDE, YOU TEND

TO BE WORRISOME AND INSECURE ON THE INSIDE.
AT TIMES YOU HAVE SERIOUS DOUBTS AS TO WHETHER YOU

HAVE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION OR DONE THE RIGHT
THING.
YOU PREFER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CHANGE AND VARIETY,

AND BECOME DISSATISFIED WHEN HEMMED IN BY
RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS.
YOU PRIDE YOURSELF ON BEING AN INDEPENDENT THINKER

AND DO NOT ACCEPT OTHER’S OPINIONS WITHOUT
SATISFACTORY PROOF.
YOU HAVE FOUND IT UNWISE TO BE TOO FRANK IN

REVEALING YOURSELF TO OTHERS.
AT TIMES YOU ARE EXTROVERTED, SOCIABLE; WHILE AT
OTHER TIMES YOU ARE INTROVERTED, WARY AND
RESERVED.
SOME OF YOUR ASPIRATIONS TEND TO BE PRETTY

UNREALISTIC.
OVERALL, HOWEVER, YOU WILL HAVE SUCCESS IN THE LONG

RUN.
All of them are examples of what are commonly called Barnum

Statements.
The Barnum Effect, also called Forer Effect, in psychology is the

phenomenon that occurs when individuals believe that personality
descriptions apply specifically to them (more so than to other people),
despite the fact that the description is actually filled with information that
applies to everyone.
A few more examples of such statements are:
“You have an intense desire to get people to accept and like you.”
“Sometimes you give too much effort on projects that don’t work out.”
“You prefer change and do not like to feel limited in what you can do.”
“You are an independent thinker who takes pride in doing things

differently than others.”
“Sometimes you can be loud, outgoing, and a people person, but other
times you can be quiet, shy, and reserved.”
“You can be overly harsh on yourself and very critical.”
“Although you do have some weaknesses, you try very hard to overcome
them and be a better person.”
There are also many other Cold Reading techniques which can help you to
expand the content and apparent accuracy of your Psychometry and indeed
all other styles of readings and these are all laid out and explained in depth
in the excellent book The Full Facts of Cold Reading by Ian Rowland
which you would be wise to study in detail.
A book called Passages – Predictable Crises of Adult Life by Gail Sheehy

should also be considered essential reading as it will teach you and
illustrate how although we like to think we are all very different, in truth as
human beings we are very much the same and go through very similar
things in very similar manners at roughly the same ages and thus armed
with the knowledge from this book you will find that Hey Presto you can
perform apparent miracles.
It will seem like you merely take hold of the clients personal object and
tell them so much about themselves and yet in truth you have just guessed
their age or even more cheekily directly asked for their date of birth under
the guise of combining Astrology with Psychometry and then you have
tons of resource material to feed back to them taken from what you have
learnt from the excellent book Passages.
In England we have the office for National Statistics (ONS) website which
is located at https://www.ons.gov.uk/ and with a thorough study of their
site you can find out so much information that with just a little thought and
common sense can be combined into your readings to make them seem
super accurate and also to enhance the probability of any predictions you
make actually coming true.
Some time taken searching the internet for Statistics in your area or
Country would no doubt be a great use of your time as would be searching
for phrases such as Predictions for XXXX and then insert the numbers for
next year into the XXXX position.
You will discover there are lots of Governmental style websites that
publish Statistical Predictions of what is likely to occur during the next 12
months or so and very often these prove to be extremely accurate.
Given that the majority of the general public have no idea about such
resources and even if they do know of their existence have most likely not
looked at the sites, they are therefore valuable sources of information
which can be weaved into your 1 to 1 and also Group Readings as
Predictions of future events.
I would also advise you to take a look at the Wikipedia entry on Cold
Reading - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_reading
And to check out this list of recommended Cold Reading Resources

located here - https://www.deceptionary.com/aboutreading.html
Incidentally as with all websites links given within this book I have
ensured they have been recorded & stored on Web Archive so they can
always been found in the future for reference should the original pages
themselves be removed - http://web.archive.org/
Perhaps the most useful extra technique to use to give Psychometry

Reading’s is one first published by the Late Magician Ken De Courcy in a
Pamphlet entitled The Sympathetic Seer.
The Sympathetic Seer is the Great Grandfather of such wonderful

publications as Psychometry from A to Z by Richard Webster & The Palm
Readers Notebook by Ron Martin within which he teaches what he had
dubbed The Ken System Plus.
Both of these books inspired by Ken De Courcy’s original text are well
worth studying as is the audio recording put out by Luke Jermay under the
title Jermay’s Tarot Alphabet.
In a nutshell Ken De Courcy’s brilliant idea was to ask the client their
name and then to use the letters within that persons name to suggest
keywords that could then immediately suggest things for the reader to talk
about when giving their reading whilst sensing the energies from the
object they are holding or as Ken did whilst apparently looking at the lines
on the persons hand whilst doing Palmistry.
As best as I can remember from memory the words that Ken associated to
the 26 letters of the Alphabet in his now long out of print and extremely
hard to find for sale publication were:
A = ADVICE = Someone is going to seek your advice or you may need to

seek advice, in any event be cautious and think very carefully before either
giving such advice or acting upon it.
B = BOOMERANG = Your rewards for past positive actions & seeds

planted are finally about to come back to you.
C = CAUTION = Now is not the time to jump to hasty conclusions or to

rush into new projects.
D = DISCOVERY = In the near future you will meet somebody new who
will have a positive impact on your life and/or find something you have
not seen for a long time that will prove highly useful.
E = ENDEAVOUR = Circumstances are such that now is the time to make

a greater effort and put everything into making your Goals, Dreams,
Ambitions and Desires become reality.
F = FRIENDS = There is a situation where you should be careful of those

around you, not all those who appear to be friends have your best interests
at heart and also you will discover that someone who you may not realise
it right now is going to be a great friend to you.
G = GAMBLE = An opportunity is going to present itself out of the blue
and all indications are guiding me to tell you to grab it with both hands.
H = HEALTH = I’m getting a sense to tell you that Moderation in all

things is very important and that taking just a little bit more care of
yourself now will pay positive dividends in the future.
I = IMPRISONED = At this moment you may feel a little restricted in

your choices but please stay focused and optimistic as this will pass in the
very near future.
J = JOURNEY = I’m getting a feeling that you will be going on a journey

soon, it could be a short journey for a long stay or a long journey for a
short stay but all energies indicate that its somewhere you have not been
before and will prove significant to your future life in many ways.
K = KISS = An exciting time of Romance and Relationship matters of a

positive nature are indicated.
L = LETTER = You will shortly get a letter or email from someone you
have not heard from in a long time.
M = MONEY = A positive & unexpected influx of money is coming your

way soon.
N = NEGOTIATE = I can sense a situation around you where diplomacy.

Tact and careful negotiation will be most important in the near future,
O = OBLIVION = It is likely that you will forget something that is rather

important.
P = PARTY = A happy time among friends is indicated in the form of a
celebration or party related to good news.
Q = QUARREL = An argument or Disagreement.
R = ROMANCE = Either you or someone very close to you is about to

start on a new relationship or a new chapter in an existing relationship.
S = SACRIFICE = I see loss by way of you losing something of value.
T = TALK = Remember you have 2 ears and 1 mouth so use them in those
proportions and beware Gossip and the fact that someone may be trying to
stir a hornets nest behind your back.
U = UNDERSTANDING = Careful thought, consideration and

understanding will enable you to deal with an unexpected problem that
you alone can solve.
V = V.I.P. = Someone of importance will be making an appearance in your

life related to a significant event.
W = WELCOME = An invitation and inviting opportunity is coming your

way soon.
X = X-ROADS = You have reached a turning point, a cross roads in life

where decisions made now will have a massive importance to your future
progression in all areas of life.
Y = YAWN = You will grow tired of someone or something and action
will have to be taken to rectify the situation to your satisfaction as you
truly need to think of number one and be selfish to be selfless.
Z = ZEPHYR = A dream of someone or something will stand out clearly
to you and have significance that should be noted.
In addition to those Key Words, Ken also associated the Five Vowels of A,
E, I, O & U with the following:
A = A Baby
E = A Child
I = A Young Adult
O = A Middle Aged Person
U = An Elderly Person
And when any of those vowels appeared would take it as a trigger memory
aid to relate whatever he was saying to have some importance to
somebody the person having the reading knows or will get to know of the
age range indicated by the vowel memory aid.
So for example lets take my first name of JONATHAN and bear in mind
that with Ken’s System he advises to only use each letter once which
would mean the letters to use here are:
J–O–N–A–T–H-N
Which based on the example key words for the letters of the Alphabet
given earlier would give us:
J = JOURNEY = I’m getting a feeling that you will be going on a journey

soon, it could be a short journey for a long stay or a long journey for a
short stay but all energies indicate that its somewhere you have not been
before and will prove significant to your future life in many ways.
O = OBLIVION = It is likely that you will forget something that is rather

important.

A = ADVICE = Someone is going to seek your advice or you may need to

seek advice, in any event be cautious and think very carefully before either
giving such advice or acting upon it.
T = TALK = Remember you have 2 ears and 1 mouth so use them in those
proportions and beware Gossip and the fact that someone may be trying to
stir a hornets nest behind your back.
H = HEALTH = I’m getting a sense to tell you that Moderation in all

things is very important and that taking just a little bit more care of
yourself now will pay positive dividends in the future.

Also in regards to the Vowels we have
A = A Baby
O = A Middle Aged Person

From those Key Words and memory joggers it becomes easy to remember
and also on the spot create new things to say to the client whilst apparently
tuning into the energies of the object that they gave you to hold.
Obviously if the person has a very short name or lots of the same letter in
their name thus reducing the number of individual letters and Key Words
then you can ask for their Surname as well before you start your
Psychometry reading as that will give you more letters to work with.
The Key Words are meant to be exactly that and then the idea is that you
conjure up something to say based on the key word that jumps into your
mind based on the letter.
Indeed you would be wise to sit down with a Dictionary and come up with
your own list of Key Words for the Alphabet from A through to Z
choosing a Positive and Negative Key Word for each letter which you
personally feel you will easily be able to remember.
These Key Words will then act as brainstorming triggers to “Link and
Connect” or to “Mind Map” other associated words and ideas that jump
into your head in the moment as you both take into account &
consideration the object you are holding and any further clues you may get
from observing what the objects owner looks and acts like.
You will find with even just a little practise that it becomes relatively easy
to generate unique things to say to people on the spot in this manner thus
meaning that even if you did readings for two people named Rachel in a
row you would be able to give both of them very different readings.
That is essentially how the Ken De Courcy System works but I once again
cannot recommend to you enough the wonderful Psychometry from A to Z
book by Richard Webster and the other resources I also mentioned earlier.
One final book worth reading which is aimed at the Shut Eye Believers
market but is worth its weight in gold is called “How to Do Psychic
Readings through Touch” by Ted Andrews and is available to purchase
from all major online book retailers.
As with all systems of divination discussed in this book, it is always good
to take a look at one or two “Shut Eye” books as this will help you to make
whatever you are doing look and feel more real and believable to those
who witness you at work.
Also as crazy as it may sound many of the exercises in these books will
genuinely help you to tune into your own genuine Intuitive and Psychic
Ability whether you choose to believe in such things or not.
For this chapter I shall now leave you with some ideas for routines &
experiments that can be used to demonstrate the power of Psychometry.
WHICH OBJECT IS CONNECTED TO A MURDER ?
In Richard Webster’s excellent Psychometry from A to Z book as well as

massively expanding on the Ken De Courcy System making it invaluable
reading, he also shares several Mentalism Style routines that can be
presented as the real thing.
One of these involves having 5 or 6 objects on a table such as a set of
Keys, a Pocket Watch, a Pen, a Cigarette Case, a Pocket Knife and a
Wallet for example.
The idea is that the people assembled each take it in turns to hold each
object briefly and it is their task to try and tune in to the energies and
vibrations given off by the objects to enable them to sense which has the
negative energy of having been found at the scene of a Murder.
After everybody has taken their turn in holding each object, you ask for a
show of hands for each item to indicate if people thought that was the
object connected to the murder or not.
You then reveal that the vast majority of people in the room picked up on
the energies of the correct item.
The Secret simply being that whichever object gets the most hands raised
for it is the one that you tell them was connected to a murder.
That may seem ridiculously simple but as Richard correctly points out in
his book all those who feel they got it right will be delighted to have got it
right and so will accept it as truth and this in turn makes things look
impressive and real to everyone else.
Well I’ve taken the idea further and have in the past used one of the
SNAKES wallets released by Magician Wayne Dobson which enable one
of numerous predictions to be removed from an otherwise seemingly
empty wallet and of course this has written upon it the item which was
connected to the murder making it even more believable that the majority
of the room managed to sense the energy of the object and thus proving
that Psychometry works.
Another option would be to use the Way Out System created and marketed
by Marc Oberon which is a versatile utility item that enables a single,
folded piece of plain paper to contain the outs for anything up to twelve
different predictions. It can be instantly opened to reveal only the desired
one, with no fumbling or suspicious handling.
I personally feel that the use of such a multiple out to prove casually that
you have not just agreed with what the majority of the room said helps to
cement the reality of Psychometry into the minds of the audience.
WHICH OBJECT BELONGS TO WHICH PERSON ?
Another great demonstration of Psychometry is to get five people onto the

stage and then to give each of them a brown paper bag before you turn
your back and ask each of them to remove a personal object from their
handbag or pockets or maybe even to remove their watch or item of
jewellery or mobile phone and to place that object into the paper bag
which they are then to fold the top over a few times to keep it closed.
You then instruct all of the 5 people to place their bags onto a table and
ask someone else to mix up all of the bags before you turn around.
At this point you then pick up each bag in turn, remove whatever object it
contains and by holding the object give a brief Psychometry Reading
based on the energies it gives off before you hand the object to someone
on stage who then confirms that the object does indeed belong to them.
This is repeated with all the people on stage either 100% successfully or
you may choose to purposely only get 3 out of 5 right and to mix 2 of them
up on purpose to make it seem more experimental and real.
In any event the paper bags used should be like those shown in the
photograph above as these when unfolded have a rectangular bottom inside
of the bag to which can be glued a piece of coloured cardboard.
Each of the 5 bags has a different piece of coloured cardboard glued into
this position inside the bottom of the bag.
Bag 1 = Red,
Bag 2 = Orange,
Bag 3 = Yellow,
Bag 4 = Green
Bag 5 = Blue
These are then handed out from left to right in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, so
that you know that when it comes to it the bag with the red bottom interior
was the one that person number one on the left was given and so on.
It is then a simple manner as you open the bag to remove the object it
contains to glimpse the colour of the cardboard base interior which
immediately tells you to which of the 5 people on stage the object belongs.
The moment you know this, you can use the Psychometry from A to Z
System to give a short reading combined with what you can observe about
the person the object belongs to making it even more accurate and amazing
as apparently you could not have any clue to whom the item belongs.
You then hand the object back to the person you have sensed from the
energies that it belongs to and get a round of applause as they confirm that
it does indeed belong to them.
Whilst truly simplistic in method the paper bags look like such an innocent
everyday object that I feel using such is far more impressive than fancy
gimmicked cloth bags sold by Magic Dealers.
Here is a video clip of me performing a Psychometry “Which Object

belongs to who” style routine where I am also claiming to be picking up
energy from the peoples Belly Buttons as well as the objects themselves
that were placed into the bags, incidentally the small velvet bags I am
using in the video clip where devised by Ken De Courcy, produced by the
now defunct Supreme Magic Company and are called Psychometrix Bags.
Watch the Video - https://youtu.be/OJR5mUEhhJw

An interesting set of gimmicked bags for this kind of routine called The
Multi Sensory Bags have in recent years been released by Luca Volpe &
Alan Wong and are available from major Magic dealers and ironically as
well as bearing visual marks also contain marks which you can divine by
touch whilst presenting your Psychometry routine.
WHICH KEY OPENS THE LOCK ?
Imagine showing a locked padlock and seven keys and proving that only
one key will open the padlock.
The padlock is then closed around a volunteers wedding ring which itself
is highly charged with energy and emotion and from which a short
Psychometry Reading can be given at this time.
The Seven Keys are then all mixed together in a glass and then tipped onto
the table top in front of the volunteer whose ring is secured to the padlock.
They are asked to pick up each key in turn and to concentrate on it and
sense the energies given off by the key as they are told that the one key
that will open the lock will have a different energy than the other and will
feel far more positive than the 6 keys which would not work as you
previously meditated on the key which works and also charged it up with
positive vibrations.
Ultimately whichever six keys they choose to reject and placed back into
the glass and they are left with one final key which to everyone’s
amazement turns out to be the one that actually will open the lock and
enable them to get their Wedding ring back.
Many of you will be ahead of me by now and yes this is just a way of
using Psychometry to present the classic Seven Keys to Baldpate
Mentalism & Mind Magic Effect for which the gimmicked padlock can be
purchased from all Major Magic Dealers.
And that’s where we end our journey together into Psychometry for this
book, however your studies of the resources I have mentioned earlier will
help you complete your journey alone.

NUMEROLOGY
Numerology is any belief in the divine or mystical relationship between a

number and one or more coinciding events. It is also the study of the
numerical value of the letters in words, names, and ideas. It is often
associated with the paranormal, alongside astrology and similar divinatory
arts.
Quoted from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerology
The idea behind numerology is that the cosmos and your life is affected by
your birth date, birth name and many other factors surrounding an
individual.
In this way, there are great depths that a numerology forecast can provide.
Consequently, it can provide often astounding insights about somebody.
It is believed that there are no coincidences in the Universe & that your
name and birthday affect the journey that you will take and your
characteristics, in the same way, that some look at horoscopes or astrology
to interpret signs or destinies.
In all cases numbers are added together to get a total and if that total is
higher than a single digit the numbers of that total are added together and
this is repeated until there is a single digit.
The only exception to this being when a Master Number which I will talk
about shortly occurs in which case the Master Number is usually used
unless you a completing a Tick Sheet of which I shall explain more
momentarily in which case it is necessary to always reduce down to a
single digit number.
Your Numerology Life Path or Birth Number
In Numerology, your life path number is the most important number. It

forms the basis of what path your life could take. Similarly, it should be
reflective of who you are, or should be, in your personality and traits. A
life path number also outlines any opportunities or challenges you may
face, as well as any lessons you may have to learn along the way.
Each life path number has a different meaning.
It is calculated by adding up the numbers in your full date of birth.
For example, August 13th 1975, would be 8 + 13 = 21 = 2+1 = 3 . Then
the 1975 is broken down as 1 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 22.
Now you add the two digits of 22 together as 2 + 2 = 4.
Next the 4 is added to the 3 giving a Number 7 Life Path Number.

This is the same with any double digit numbers which you should keep
adding together until you end up with a 1 digit number.
Example: 19 becomes 1 + 9 = 10, then 1 + 0 = 1). Finally, add the 8 and 3
together for your life path number i.e. 8 + 3 = 11.
Sound complicated? It's easier than you'd think.
Your Expression or Name Number
Also known as your destiny number, an expression number is said to delve

into your abilities, desires and personal goals. It could also make you
aware of any inherent traits that you may carry.
Your expression number is calculated by converting your FULL birth
name (including any middle names) into numbers using the Pythagorean
chart. This type of chart correlates a letter with a single digit number.
Then, the total sum is broken down to a single digit number. Once again
the master numbers apply to your destiny number and are not reduced any
further.
Whatever expression number you are left with has a different meaning and
works in combination with other core numbers to build a picture of who
you are and what you’re about as a person in the wider universe.
Your Soul Urge or Hearts Desire Number
Your soul urge number is often referred to as the Heart’s Desire number in
numerology. This can symbolize a reflection of your inner, or true, self.
The most interesting thing about the soul urge number is that it often
reveals truths in people that they only recognize once a reading is
completed.
For example, your heart's desire number may show that you actually crave
power. Or, that you are much deeper and require a higher level of
fulfilment. Alternatively, you may have a need to feel valued or cared
for… All of these qualities can often sit beneath the surface and in
revelation can be quite enlightening. Even changing the entire direction of
a person's life to find true happiness.
The calculation is similar to others using your full birth name. However,
you only calculate the value of the vowels to reveal your inner urges or
desires.
Your Numerology Personality Number
Your personality number in numerology is calculated using only the

consonants in your full name. This is then followed by the same process of
allocating a number to each letter before adding them up and breaking
them down to get to a single digit number or master number.
The personality number is literally the side of you that you allow people to
see. In turn this shows how others see you. What is true of most people is
that we hide our true selves and therefore live under a persona. Sometimes
this is done with great consideration.
However, most of the time we do this without even realizing, or being

entirely conscious of it. For that reason, it is often quite enlightening to see
how your personality number can show the things that you ignore or don’t
deal with by acting the way that you do. So, in turn, it can reveal deeper
insights into your behaviours in different circumstances.
Your Birth Day Number or Productive Cycle In Numerology
Your birthday number holds the key to you and your destiny. This number
is entirely based on the exact day you were born.
Prediction Number
This is calculated by adding together the day and month of your birth to
the present year.
Destiny Number
This is calculated by adding the Life (Birth) number and the Name
(Expression) numbers together and reducing as always to a single digit.
The Beginning Phase
This is simply the number of the month they were born in.
Harvest Cycle
This is the year they were born added together down to a single digit.
Planetary Ruler
On the example tick sheets which follow shortly the number used for the
Planetary Ruler is quite simply the same as whatever the persons Life Path
Number is.
Zodiacal Ruler
On the example tick sheets which follow shortly the item that gets ticked
for Zodiacal Ruler is of course simply whatever their Zodiac Star Sign
may be which is easily indicated by their day and month of birth.
Master Numbers In Numerology
Master numbers in numerology are 11, 22 or 33. They have deep and
powerful meanings. The true meanings can be good or bad depending on
the context. Therefore, it is important to interpret master numbers
properly. Mostly they should be used for guidance or revelation of certain
circumstances that impact somebody's life in a way that needs to be
addressed.
Typically, the methods used during a numerology reading mean that
double-digit numbers found in date of births (birthday numbers) are
usually split apart and added together to leave a single digit number that
becomes a part of the calculation. But when the result of a calculation
equates to a master number, it is not reduced and will carry its own
meaning.
Master number 11 can relate to “instinct” and “faith”. Similarly, it could
signify fear and anxiety, so has to be carefully read.
Number 22 is the Master Builder. It is the most powerful indicator of
ambition and success, though often requires guidance or different
perspectives.
The number 33 has various meanings as one of your core numbers i.e. Life
Path, Expression, Personality etc. Not forgetting that all of these master
numbers can be combined to form entirely different meanings in
partnership with others, or as a triangle of enlightenment!
LAZY MANS WAY TO GIVE NUMEROLOGY READINGS
By far the easiest and most useful way I have ever found to give
Numerology Readings is to use what is known as a tick sheet of which I
actually use 2 different ones with each client and you will see example
images of the ones that I use shortly.
The first one I use is a 4 paged report format which is called
“CycleScope” and was structured by the Late Myriam Ruthchild and then
sold along with instructions for its use and permission to copy and sell (or
give away) the number tick sheets by her late Husband Magic Dealer Lee
Jacobs.
This has long been out of print and is extremely hard to find for sale
anywhere although search long enough and one or two Magic Dealers do
still have some old stock available.
I would suggest using the example as inspiration in order to get someone
to design one for you from scratch based on the CycleScope format which
I have found to work so well for me over the past 31+ years to date.
The Second Numerology Tick Sheet I use is one that I’m fairly sure is
based on the kind the Late Robert Nelson sold and a Master PDF in both
US and UK print formats for this can at time of writing be found for sale
on the internet by searching the phrase “numerology profile worksheet
magic shop”
One of the first things I do when my reading client sits down is to ask them
for their Birth Name and Surname (Maiden name if female) which I then
write on the front of the Cyclescope and quickly using the letter to number
conversion chart at bottom of the front page of the report I put the numbers
under each letter and then add them up reducing them to single number
which in my example that follows is a Name Number Total of 5 based on
my stage name Jonathan Royle.
I then ask for the persons date of birth and enter this on the front page and
add it together which in my example reduces down to a Birth Number total
of 7.
The Name Number & Birth number are then added together so in this
example its 5 & 7 = 12 and that is reduced by adding together 1+2 = 3 thus
making a destiny number of 3.
Number 5 is then ticked under the Name Number Section on page 2 of the
Cyclescope.
For the missing name numbers the only number I did not have in my name
was number 4 so that is ticked, some people would obviously end up with
more numbers ticked for this part.
As my birth number is 7 that led to Neptune being ticked under the Birth
number and planetary ruler section.
Destiny number we know is 3 and thus that is then ticked in the correct
section at end of page 2 of the Cyclescope.
For Zodiacal Ruler my date of birth of 13th August indicates that I am a
Leo and thus that box gets ticked.
Beginning of Life Cycle is my day of birth which is the 8th and thus
number 8 gets ticked.
Productive Cycle is my day of birth reduced to one digit so that is 13
which added together is 1+3 = 4 and thus number 4 gets ticked.
Harvest Cycle is the year I was born reduced to one number so 1975 which
is 1+9+7+5 = 22 = 2+2 = 4 and thus number 4 is ticked.
Then finally right at the end of page 4 of the Cyclescope is the prediction
number which is calculated by adding the day and month of birth to the
present year so in this example that is 13th August (08) 2020 which is
1+3+8+2+0+2+0 = 16 = 1+6 = 7 hence the number 7 has been ticked in
the example report that follows.
I then move my attention to the second tick sheet which says Numerology
Profile on its bottom right hand corner.
Life Path is same as Birth Number so number 7 is ticked.
Planetary Ruler is same as Life/Birth number so number 7 ticked.
Expression is same as name number so number 5 is ticked.
Personality Number is calculated by adding together only the numbers
relevant to the Consonants in the persons name so in my case that is 4.
Hearts Desire number also known as Soul Urge is found by adding
together only the numbers related to the vowels in the persons name and
thus in my case that becomes 1.
Prediction number is same as on Cyclescope namely 7.
Zodiacal Ruler is also same as Cyclescope and thus Leo in this example.
USING THE INFORMATION CALCULATED
Once I have completed both tick sheets which in reality can be done in just
2 or 3 minutes once you are used to what has to be calculated and what bits
get ticked where, I am then able to use the information which has been
ticked to give me triggers and cues of what to start saying to the client to
reveal what they are like as a person.
This gets them talking and responding as they confirm or deny the
accuracy of the calculations and these responses give you tons of
information in terms of what else to later include into the reading and what
direction to steer things as well.
You can also then on the blank reverse side of the “Numerology Profile”
sheet draw a grid and insert the numbers from their date of birth, name or
perhaps both into the relevant squares leaving the squares blank where
none of those numbers appear.
Then by using the Chinese Numerology information given on another one
of the work sheets provided courtesy of Richard Websters “Money Making
Psychic Development Classes” (follows shortly) you can calculate what
arrows they have based on what complete lines of numbers they have and
don’t have in the various directions.
Personally I find this more than enough to occupy the first 5 to 10 minutes
of a full length reading or just by using the tick sheets without calculating
the grid on the back of the blank side it can be a very rapid 3 to 5 minutes
reading for Trade Shows, Walk About Entertainment or when just selling
quick tick sheet readings at events.
Given that Both Tick Sheets have a place to have printed onto them or to
stick on a label with your contact details these can often lead to more
bookings as a result whilst also earning you money at the same time as
generating future clients.
MEANINGS OF THE SINGLE DIGIT NUMBERS FROM 1 to 9

At the following links you will get a good idea of what each of the single
digit numbers from 1 through to 9 mean when they are being interpreted in
Numerology.

Should you wish to do a full length reading using Numerology alone then
that is beyond the scope of this book and you would be wise to obtain a
copy of “Cold Reading the Future with Numerology” by Richard Webster.
For further insights into giving Quick Rapid Number Readings Richard
Websters “Quick Readings with Numerology” is also recommended.
Both of those books along with all the other dynamite publications for us
Open Eyes that Richard Webster has released are available to order from
One book which should be considered essential reading whether you wish
to do quick or long readings is “Speed Learning Numerology” by Julian
Moore from https://www.coldreading.co/
DVD wise I would say take a look at “The Mark Lewis Lecture” by
International Magic.
And from the point of view of Shut Eye books worth reading again its
back to Richard Webster as I advise you to obtain a copy of his book
entitled “Chinese Numerology” which is on sale to the public.
The next few pages contain examples of the “Tick Sheets” along with the
Numerology Hand Outs mentioned earlier.
After these I shall be sharing 3 Psychic Style Mentalism Routines that can
be presented with a Numerological theme and into which short
Numerology readings could also be weaved.
For now I will leave you with the advice that tracking down a copy of
“Joe Riding’s Complete Psychic Course” will prove invaluable to you as
not only does he teach you the meanings of all the numbers and how to
give Professional Numerology Readings, but also it also contains
extremely easy memory systems to learn Astrology, Tarot and Palmistry.
ANY CARD AT ANY NUMBER
There are versions galore of Any Card At Any Number aka The Legendary
Berglas Effect and with a little thought many of them could be presented
as a demonstration of the ”Power & Magic of Numbers” however whilst I
may be biased my particular favourite is the version I devised myself
which you can see me performing in this video clip here -
https://youtu.be/U6AqObR1gVk
To learn the Secret of that Miraculous reputation making effect check out
the explanation videos for my E.S.P. show which have already been given
to you on page 41 of this book.
BEYOND THE BERGLAS EFFECT – THE SECRET’S
The Secret is incredibly simple and sure fire for this effect. You’ll start off
by getting two identical packs of cards and also a third deck which has a
different back design.
For the sake of this example let’s say the card we are going to use is the
queen of Hearts, in which case you would remove the Queen of Hearts
from each of the 3 decks.
Next using two of the Jokers from one of the two matching decks you are
going to make up what I call the “Devils Forcing Gimmick” the
instructions to manufacture which can be found inside my ebook “Holy
Grail Mentalism” available form all major magic dealers.
You will now have a normal looking Joker Card that enables you to
apparently give someone an entirely free choice of card from a deck and
yet it will always be the Queen of Hearts that they end up merely looking
at and as such thinking about also.
You then take the forcing gimmick you have made and place it with a
normal joker along with 51 ordinary cards into the card case so that the
deck we use in performance will not even have a Queen of Hearts in it.
The Queen of Hearts from the deck with a different back design is placed
inside of a brown Wages Style Envelope and this envelope is then placed
so that is faced with the flap downwards towards the table top.
Under the envelope place in a face down position a Queen of Hearts with
the same back design as that the deck has that will be used in performance
and place this card so part of it is held between the flap and the envelope
itself making it easy to slide the envelope off the table and pick it up etc
without revealing that a Queen of Hearts is hidden underneath it.
Basically re-read the description of the effect and you should now be able
to perform this very powerful version of A.C.A.A.N exactly as described.
The bottom line is that you use the devils forcing gimmick to ensure that
the first person thinks of a Queen of Hearts, then as there is no actual
Queen of Hearts in the deck it does not matter what number the second
person chooses and this can be a totally free choice.
That number is counted down to with each card being dealt face down
onto the table from the top of the shuffled deck until the cards have
beencounted to the chosen number.
You then casually pick up the envelope containing your prediction and
place it down on the place where they have stopped counting so also
adding the Queen of Hearts that is under the envelope to the top of this
counted pile at the same time.
You then stand back away from the table as you recap on the randomness
of it all giving the audience time to forget that you ever went near the
table.
You now ask someone to pick up the envelope and open it to show your
prediction inside which they do and this draws applause when you ask the
person if this was the card they were merely thinking of which of course
they have to confirm is correct.
You can then get the second round of applause by asking them to turn over
the card where they stopped counting and miracle of miracles it will
indeed be the Queen of Hearts.
This may not sound particularly effective on paper but as I say many
magicians have raved about its cleanness and effectiveness after having
witnessed my performances of it at The Southern England Magic
Convention in Early 2011.
Incidentally the lady sat down in the performance video who has to
mentally think of a playing card https://youtu.be/U6AqObR1gVk well
with her I am using a “Mirage Deck” which is a Svengali Deck that has
been roughed so it can be spread and shown as different cards before
forcing just one on the volunteer which is obviously the same value card as
used everywhere else in this routine.
THE AMAZING MAGIC SQUARE
Imagine apparently asking somebody to just think of any two digit number
between say 20 and a 100 and then, after you have tuned into their mind or
the energies of the Numerology associated to their name, you are then
suddenly able to rapidly write out a Magic Square where all the numbers
in all directions and numerous other manners as can be seen in the video
that follows add up correctly to the merely thought of number
https://youtu.be/sEsS8pkoCMo
Once again in order to learn the Secret of that Miraculous reputation

making effect check out the explanation videos for my E.S.P. show which
have already been given to you on page 41 of this book.
On the next page are several other ways you could set up your cue’s on
your pad for the Magic Square routine.
Calculating a Magic Square from someone’s age and giving it to them on a

back of a business card they can be told to keep it as a Lucky Charm and
in turn they always have your contact details to hand.
THE MAGICAL POWER OF NUMBERS & GROUPS
This final experiment with numbers involves numerous audience members

and whilst simple to achieve is highly impressive indeed.
Let us Imagine that a volunteer is chosen from the audience and seated
upon the stage.
You bring out a Calculator or open the calculator on your mobile phone
and ask the person on stage to enter a 2 or 3 digit number.
The calculator or phone is then passed to someone else who hits the
multiply key and then enters another 2 or 3 digit number and this continues
with several people entering random numbers into the device to multiply
the previous number until finally the equals key is pressed to reveal the
randomly generated total which for example might be 13,081975.
The onstage seated volunteer is asked to inform everybody of their date of

birth and it is discovered that they were born on 13th August 1975 which in
numbers is 13 08 1975 and matches the total which has been randomly
generated by the group calculation.
A short Numerology Reading can then be given to the person before they
are returned to the audience with to a round of applause.
The secret of this experiment is known as the Toxic Number Force or just
the Toxic Force for short and in this example routine it has been combined
with the Dunninger ploy whereby as the volunteer steps foot onto the
performance area I quietly ask them for their date, month and year of birth.
This goes unnoticed by the audience as everything happens so quickly and

is covered by the applause welcoming the person to the stage.
Whilst talking about Numerology I can take hold of a Calculator or

Mobile phone and blatantly type in 13081975 or whatever number is made
up of the persons day, month and year of birth.
We then set the calculator using the Toxic Force method as explained in
this short video https://youtu.be/z4FUuvnAhQs
By entering the number you wish to force, then typing "+" then "0" then
"x" then "(" (bracket) you can have various audience members multiply
random numbers and the end result will always end up being the force
number.
This now means that whatever numbers are apparently added and
multiplied together we are guaranteed that the number we programmed in
sing the Toxic Force Methodology will be the one that appears on screen
when the equals key is finally pressed by the seated on stage volunteer.
Presented right this appears to be a miracle of synchronicity and it often

takes a while for the onstage volunteer to even realise that the numbers on
screen make up her unique date of birth which none of the audience could
have known in advance.
And thanks to the Dunninger ploy the audience themselves also believe
that you only found out this information after all the entering of numbers
had taken place.
For those who may wish to use an Android Mobile Phone for the routine I
would advise you to download the RealCalc app to your device as that
enables the method to work.
The fact that the calculator can be borrowed (so long as a Scientific one) or
that the phone can be borrowed if using an i-phone as they have the correct
style of calculator on them is an added bonus.

PALMISTRY
By far the best Shut Eye training video that I have ever watched on
Palmistry which is available to the general public at low cost is called
“Palmistry It’s in Your Hands” produced by Camrose Media Ltd and it
can be found on Amazon and other internet retailers or most of it is now in
the public domain and available to study at no cost on You-Tube as per
https://youtu.be/DxOCXEfGGLY
And then the two best “Shut Eye” book I have found to read in conjunction
with that video are entitled “Palm Reading for Beginners: A Guide to
Discovering Your Strengths and Decoding Your Life Path” by Kenneth
Lagerstrom.
And secondly “Palm Reading for Beginners: Find the Future in the Palm
of Your Hand” by Richard Webster.
As you may have guessed by now you could just look at the persons hand
and give them a reading using the Ken De Courcy System using the letters
of their name to give you memory triggers of what to say, however I feel
that knowing where the various most well-known lines on the hand are
(when they are present) and being able to point directly at them and state
correctly the name of the line helps to give you more credibility and makes
everything look all that more real.
So with that in mind I am now going to share a few visual images with you
to help you get acquainted with the major lines and areas on a persons
Hand, Fingers and Thumb and along the way I will also give you some
bullet points and insights into what to look for, what these things mean and
what you can then say to your client.
Obviously, you can also expand upon these bits of information by also
observing your client, how they act, how they dress, how they speak and
how they react to the things you are saying.
With a little experience and common sense, you will soon get the hang of
fleshing out and expanding these bits of information into an entertaining
personality analysis and reading.
Always remembering that when it comes to future events it is impossible
for the client to deny them at the time of the reading as they have not yet
happened.
The four most famous lines on the hand observed in Palmistry are the Life
Line, Head Line, Heart Line & Health Line and a good insight to them can
be studied along with details about other lines and also the mounts and
other areas on the hand at these links:

Combined with studying those links I would also consider the information
shown in the images that you will find on the following few pages, as
together with having watched the video I mentioned earlier you will
frankly then have enough information about Palmistry to look extremely
Knowledgeable in the subject as you give your Palm Readings.
It is possible to observe the persons hand and to work out if they are an
Earth, Fire, Air or Water hand type and then based on this relate it to the
Personality Types of the Zodiac Star Sign elements and that will give you
more ideas of what you say to the client.
It should be noted that just because someone has a Fire Hand does not
automatically mean that they have an Aries, Leo or Sagittarian Zodiac Star
Sign, however it does happen an awful lot more than you’d think.
However people with Fire Hands do tend to have lots of Fire Sign
Personality traits even if that is not their Zodiac Sign Element.
The Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius = FIRE HANDS

Like fire itself, fire signs tend to be passionate, dynamic, and
temperamental. Fire can keep you warm, or it can do great destruction.
While fire burns out quickly without fuel to keep it going, it can also
regenerate its power from the ashes. A single spark can set off a forest fire.
As a result, fire signs need to be nurtured and managed carefully.
The Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius = AIR HANDS

Air signs are all about action, ideas, and motion—they are the “winds of
change.” When a strong gust hits you, you can’t help but move. While
some within their ranks may be true-life “airheads,” others are as powerful
as a gravity-defying G-force. Air signs bring everyone a breath of fresh air
when things start to get stale. Like the breeze, you can’t quite catch them,
and you never know where they’ll drop you once they sweep you up. It
will almost always been an adventure, though.
The Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn = EARTH HANDS

Earth signs keep it real. They are the “grounded” people on the planet, the
ones who bring us down to earth and remind us to start with a solid
foundation. Slow and steady, these “builders” are loyal and stable, and
stick by their people through hard times. On good days, they’re practical;
at worst, they can be materialistic or too focused on the surface of things to
dig into the depths.
The Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio Pisces = WATER HANDS

Intuitive, emotional and ultra-sensitive, water signs can be as mysterious
as the ocean itself. Like water, they can be refreshing, or they can drown
you in their depths. These signs often have intense dreams and borderline-
psychic intuition. Security is important to them—after all, water needs a
container, or it dries up and disappears.
Details of what the Finger Shapes indicate can be found on this very useful
web page https://www.indianetzone.com/18/palmistry_fingers.htm
NOTE = On above image where it says Hearth it should say HEART
I start by instructing the person to make their dominant hand into a fist and
to then place it against their chest.
I then tell them that on the count of three I would like them to extend their
arm out away from their chest towards me and to open their hand in a
relaxed manner without really thinking about it too much and instead just
doing what feels naturally relaxing and normal to them.
Next I count to 3 and they do as they have been instructed and the first
thing I observe is whether they are an Earth, Air, Fire or Water shaped
hand as that immediately gives me the Astrology Element link information
that I can start relating to them whilst I look more closely at their hand.
I then notice which of the 5 major hand positions they have gestured their
hand towards me in when I counted to 3 as there really are only five
options and each of these can and does tell us a lot about the person.
The five possible options are that
01) The fingers are all held together touching each other and the thumb is
held out roughly at a right angle
02) The Forefinger is held away from the other 3 fingers which are all
touching and held together
03) The Little Finger is held away from the other 3 fingers which are all
04) The Little Finger and the Forefinger are held away from the two
middle fingers that are touching and held together
05) None of the fingers are touching and indeed are all held open
They always fall into one of those five possible options which means
01) The fingers are all held together touching each other and the
thumb is held out roughly at a right angle
This type of person is very much a follower, a sheep and one of the crowd
who likes to fit in, anything for a quiet life so to speak.
They are very down to earth and tend to get on with most people as they
like company and are most certainly not a loner.
They like to mix with people, they always call a spade a spade as they are
very down to earth person who usually keeps to their word when they give
it to someone or make a promise.
They are a family type person and it would not really suit them to live on
their own.
Their hand gesture indicates them to be a good worker who believes in

giving an honest days work for an honest days pay otherwise they would
feel bad about themselves and would not be happy due to having a guilty
conscience.
However if when they hold out their hand their fingers are stretched out to
the point they are visually bowed backwards a little then the person is way
too trusting and believes almost anything from anyone including
Politicians to the point they are possibly gullible and naive!
Obviously if the fingers are curled in towards them a little it means the
opposite and indeed the more the fingers are curled in towards them the
more reserved and cautious they will tend to be with people, events and
decisions.
02) The Forefinger is held away from the other 3 fingers which are all
The forefinger is the finger of confidence and so this indicates that this
person has a little more confidence in themselves and generally that the
number 1 type of hand gesture.
However the ambition (middle) finger is still close to the others and so
they likely do not have a massive amount of ambition in life.
They have the ability to make things happen if they really need to or
wanted to but they just seem to plod along and be content with most things
in life.
They are content to let life take its course but if they disagreed with what
those around them said or were doing they would have the confidence
when push came to shove to walk away although they may not explain
why so as not to rock the apple cart too much.
With this type of hand we also check if the forefinger is longer than the
second finger and if it is then this tells us that the person is most likely an
arrogant self-centred know it all type.
03) The Little Finger is held away from the other 3 fingers which are
all touching and held together
This kind of person whilst like type 1 hands in many regards differs
slightly due to the Little Finger aka Mercury the Finger of communication
being held away from the others and generally speaking the more it is held
away the more independent as a person they will be.
They hate to rely on other people and like to look after themselves and do
things for themselves wherever possible.
For this hand we basically can say most of the things relevant to type 1
hands but add in about their independent streak.
04) The Little Finger and the Forefinger are held away from the two
middle fingers that are touching and held together
For this hand gesture type we can say most of what is relevant for type 1
hands, but then point out that the finger of confidence is held away making
info at type 2 relevant to them to some degree as is some type 3 info given
that their little finger of communication is held away from the rest.
The fact the two centre fingers are held touching together it indicates that
they are the type of person who to truly function well in life needs a
partner and/or strong support group around them.
05) None of the fingers are touching and indeed are all held open
These are the naturally confident and largely extroverted character types of
the world and you will discover that the wider the gaps between their
fingers the more extroverted they will be to the point that very often
people involved in the performing arts have this type of natural hand
gesture.
Quite often these are the self employed people of the world or at the very
least people who get into positions of success, management and control.
They have great self confidence and self-belief and an inner drive to make
their goals, dreams, ambitions and desires become reality.
Whilst not exactly a loner you most certainly are a survivor and will
always bounce back up again whenever you may get knocked down.
Everything you achieve you can be extremely proud of as you know deep
down that your biggest successes are all down to your own efforts &
actions.
Some Things to Consider
The right hand represents what is going on around you now. The left hand
represents the past and inherited characteristics.
If you are left-handed, the reverse applies.
Few lines on the hand mean a practical and down to earth person. Perhaps
even a little sceptical.
Many lines on the hand mean a sensitive person who may even be a little
psychic. Very creative & May tend to worry too much.
Short fingers mean impatience and a dislike for beating around the bush.
Long fingers denote an eye for detail and ability to get down to the nitty
gritty.
How Flexible is their Thumb? & Other Thumb Things.
I will then check how flexible their thumb is, firstly by seeing how easily it
bends downwards away from their fingers towards a 90% degree or further
angle as generally speaking the more flexible it is in this manner the worst
the person will be in terms of money and spending matters whereas the
less flexible the thumb is in this way the more likely they are to be
disciplined with finances.
The thumb is then pressed again downwards towards the floor as their
palm is held towards you and the more flexible the thumb appears to be the
more it indicates that the person themselves is flexible in life and adapts to
changes easily whereas the less flexible the thumb the less the person likes
or adapts to change.
The pad of the top of the thumb is then pressed on and as you release the
pressure you observe how rapidly it bounces back to its original position as
this indicates how rapidly or easily they bounce back as a person to
challenges in all areas of their life.
If the top section of the thumb (Will) is bigger than the bottom section
(Logic) then Will overrides Logic in their thought processes and reactions
and actions in life whereas if the bottom section (Logic) is bigger than the
top (Will) then this is obviously reversed.
How do their Hands and Fingers Feel?
A quick feel over their palms, fingers, thumb and hands in general can
often tell you a lot, do they have the smooth hands of someone who avoids
all kinds of manual labour or are they rough like those of a builder?
Do they have hard callouses on their thumbs and/or fingertips which could
indicate they play a musical instrument.
Observation of whether they bite their fingernails or not is good at this
point also as doing so indicates a worrier who does not handle stress well.
The Life Line
Generally speaking the longer and more clearly defined the line is the
more positive it is for the person.
In this case with the Life Line the more defined and longer the line is the
more it tends to indicate energy and a real zest for adventure and life and
new adventures.
Whereas a duller or shorter line may indicate less energy, being more of a
follower and such like.
The Life Line shows health but it does not show when you are going to die
despite the old myths.
If the line is strong it does denote long life and good health.
If it is weak, you need to take care of yourself more.
The length of the line is not important.
It is the depth and how strong it looks that matters.
However, if the length of the Life Line is long and it also appears strong,
you can certainly tell the client that they are quite likely to have a longer
than average life span.
If there is a break in the Life Line, it can denote a health problem in the
past. Never say the future; otherwise you will scare the client.
The Head Line

With the Head line it is about matters of the mind and intellect and so the
more clearly defined and longer the line the more likely the person is to be
a deep thinker, have a natural appetite for learning and to generally think
things through before taking action.
Your Head Line represents your brain and how you use it.
A short head line means that you can easily be underestimated. And that
you can underestimate yourself too. You don’t give yourself enough credit
for your own ability.
A long head line indicates great intelligence, especially if it is well
defined.
If the head line slopes deeply on to the mount of Luna (see a palmistry
book to find out where that is) it means that you have a strong imagination.
If the head line dips and slopes too deeply, it means that you get depressed
at times.
The Heart Line
With the Heart Line this means that the more clearly defined and longer it
is the more Romantically and Emotionally stimulated as a person they may
be, the kind of person who let’s their Heart lead the way rather than their
head in making decisions.
The Heart Line represents love.
If the line goes straight across, it means that you bottle up your feelings
and you need space on your own.
If the line curves towards your index finger (finger of Jupiter) that shows a
good, strong, ongoing relationship.
If the line shows jaggedness, that shows that the path of true love not
always running smoothly.
Head & Heart Line Links
If the Head and Life Line are joined at the beginning, it means that you are
cautious. If there is a gap, it means that you are impulsive.
It can also mean that you are very much a home person who likes to put
down roots if the Head and Life Line are joined at the beginning whereas
if there is a gap, the bigger the gap the more it indicates that like the Paul
Young song “wherever I lay my hat, that’s my home” meaning that
moving around, travel and change of home is more likely.
The Fate or Career Line
With the Fate or Career Line the longer and more clearly defined it is the
more successful in terms of growth and promotion the persons Career path
will be for them.
The Fate Line, sometimes known as the Line of Destiny, goes up the
middle of the hand. If it is long and well defined, it means that you know
where you are going and will probably get there.
It shows success in career. If the line is short, it means that you haven’t
quite decided what you want to do in life.
If it is very close to your Life Line, it means that you can easily be
influenced by people.
If it is far apart it means that you are very independent.
The Health Line
With the Health Line the longer and more clearly defined it is the better
and more stable the persons health will be overall.
Any breaks or glitches along the line may indicate small illnesses and set
backs in health.
KEEP THINGS POSITIVE AND UPBEAT
Those are some of the key things I keep in mind when looking at
somebody’s hand for the Palmistry element of readings.
Yes of course there is more to it than just what I have written here but the
truth is those other things cannot be taught better than by way of the videos
and books that I have recommended.
I especially pay attention to are the fingers closed in together and touching
in which case the more introverted the person is or are they widely open
and not touching in which case the bigger the gaps the more extroverted
and outgoing a type of person they will tend to be.
If their fingers curl in towards them as they hold their palm outwards the
more they curl inwards towards themselves the less trusting they are in
others as a person and the more they stick outwards the more trusting they
are to the point of if the fingers are held out so flat they bend downwards a
little arching the hand upwards they can get taken advantage of easily.
Also generally speaking the fleshier and more raised certain mounts on the
palm and base of fingers are the more positive and strongly things in those
areas are indicated to be for the person whereas the lower and flatter they
are the less relevant or important they are for the person.
In any event that should be enough to get you started until you take my
advice and obtain copies of all the books and videos that I have mentioned
to you within this chapter for further study.
But always remember that is out job to provide upbeat entertaining and
positive readings that ultimately make the client feel better about
themselves whilst also perhaps pointing out those areas they would be
wise to concentrate on developing more or in some cases to work on
reigning in.
In terms of Books or training videos for the Open Eye community there
are several that are essential study if Palmistry is what interests you and

In terms of using Palmistry combined with Mentalism Routines you will
find that looking at somebody’s hand can easily be used as the excuse,
reason or justification for how you have apparently arrived at the
conclusion you have, a great example of what I mean is shown in this short
video where you will see a few clips from Paul Voodini’s “Palm reading
for Magicians” video download - https://youtu.be/GseWfERyM3c
Ultimately Paul just uses a Marked Deck of Cards in order to know which
card the person has taken but the way in which he presents it and the
psychology involved makes it worth buying the video download for that
part of the training alone.
This is the essence of how to use Palmistry in Mentalism though, the idea
is to weave in a short Palm Reading and then show that what you have
predicted or what you are about to divine has been predicted or divined
successfully due to the information you gleaned through studying the
persons palm.

To give people simple Astrological Star Sign Readings is

incredibly easy!
Firstly find either someone you know personally for each of the 12
Star Signs or find a famous person whose birthday links them for
each Star Sign.
Then learn and remember as much as possible about each of the

12 people you have chosen for each of the 12 Star Signs whose
birthdays actually do relate to that Astrological Sign.
Then when you meet client’s, simply find out their Star Sign by
asking them their date of birth and from that working out which
Sign they are (by having a cue card hidden on your table) and
then simply describe to them the person you know in great detail
and have linked in your mind and memory with their Star Sign
and you will be amazed how accurate they find this to be!

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

The Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Like fire itself, fire signs tend to be passionate, dynamic, and
temperamental. Fire can keep you warm, or it can do great destruction.
While fire burns out quickly without fuel to keep it going, it can also
regenerate its power from the ashes. A single spark can set off a forest fire.
As a result, fire signs need to be nurtured and managed carefully.
The Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Air signs are all about action, ideas, and motion—they are the “winds of
change.” When a strong gust hits you, you can’t help but move. While
some within their ranks may be true-life “airheads,” others are as powerful
as a gravity-defying G-force. Air signs bring everyone a breath of fresh air
when things start to get stale. Like the breeze, you can’t quite catch them,
and you never know where they’ll drop you once they sweep you up. It
will almost always been an adventure, though.
The Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Earth signs keep it real. They are the “grounded” people on the planet, the
ones who bring us down to earth and remind us to start with a solid
foundation. Slow and steady, these “builders” are loyal and stable, and
stick by their people through hard times. On good days, they’re practical;
at worst, they can be materialistic or too focused on the surface of things to
dig into the depths.
The Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio Pisces

Intuitive, emotional and ultra-sensitive, water signs can be as mysterious
as the ocean itself. Like water, they can be refreshing, or they can drown
you in their depths. These signs often have intense dreams and borderline-
psychic intuition. Security is important to them—after all, water needs a
container, or it dries up and disappears.
ASTROLOGERS DREAM DIRECT STAR SIGN MENTALISM
Within the next few pages, I will reveal to you the ways in which I seem to
miraculously reveal peoples Star Signs both from the Stage and also in
Close-Up Performances or one to one Psychic Readings.
I have been using all these methods for many years with great success,
since I started appearing at Psychic Fairs all over the UK back in around
1989.
I am sure you will agree that they hold great potential, and look far cleaner
than many other methods, whilst also being far easier to perform as there is
no complicated mental maths or similar to be dealt with.
Read and enjoy. I trust you get as much use out of these methods as I have
done over the years.
VISIBLE DECEPTION
Would you like to be able to during your act apparently ask 3 random
members of the audience to stand up and then one by one be able to tell
them exactly what their Star Sign is without any pre-show work, no
stooges or instant stooging, no cueing, nothing written down, in fact this
looks as close to pure direct real psychic style mind reading as you are
ever going to get and you’ll also discover how this approach could also be
used to reveal other pieces of personal information about “random”
volunteers which you could apparently have no logical or possible way of
knowing.
As a bonus Royle also reveals how it is possible to turn a randomly chosen

audience member into an instant psychic mind reader so they are able to
tell three people apparently chosen at random what their Star Signs are!
Again no pre-show work and once again a guaranteed audience killer.
VISIBLE DECEPTION –(THE SECRET’S)
In a nutshell the secret to this routine is once again Hoy’s Tossed Out
Deck (TOD) Principle, except that on this occasion no deck of cards is
ever used.
Anyhow take a look at the information that follows about the Twelve
Signs of The Zodiac:
THE 12 SIGN’S OF THE ZODIAC
The first thing you need to know is that the 12 signs of the Zodiac are
broken down into the four elements of Air, Earth, Fire and Water.
These Four Elements each have 3 of the Zodiac Star Signs belonging to
them as follows:
THE ELEMENT AIR:
GEMINI, May 21-June 21,
LIBRA, September 23-October 22,
AQUARIUS, January 20-February 18
THE ELEMENT EARTH:
TAURUS, April 20-May 20,
VIRGO, August 23-September 22,
CAPRICORN, December 22-January 19

THE FIRE ELEMENT:
ARIES March 21-April 19,
LEO July 23-August 22,
SAGITTARIUS November 22-December 21
THE ELEMENT WATER:
CANCER, June 22-July 22,
SCORPIO, OCTOBER 23-November 21,
PISCES February 19-March 20
SO WHAT’S THE SECRET?
Well essentially the secret is one of utmost cheek and involves you at the
start of your show asking those people in the audience who know they
have a star sign which is an Air sign to stand up, they are then told to sit
down and this is repeated three more times for Earth, Fire and Water
Signs.
This is done under this guise of getting to know the audience and once
done is excused away by then choosing some volunteers for the next
routine of your show, which in my instance is the Tossed Out Deck &
Mobile Phone Routine which you can learn in my other ebooks available
from all good magic dealers and also in the videos on page 40 of this book.
The Secret is to notice where 3 of the same Star Sign Element are sitting in
3 very different areas of the audience and to remember this information for
much later in your show.
Then after a suitable time delay you can appear to randomly point at three
different people in the audience and ask them to stand up and merely think
of their own star-sign.
The fact is that lets say you remember where three people who stood up
and identified themselves as Fire Signs were sitting, you now know that
the 3 apparently random (as far as audience is concerned) people that you
have pointed to and asked to stand up all have fire signs.
As such you need only say something such as (this example being for Fire
Signs)
“All three of you please just concentrate on your star-signs but please
don’t tell me or indeed anyone what they are yet and please don’t tell me if
I am right or wrong until I ask you to indicate and let us all know the
outcome of this impossible experiment”
“The Three Star Sign’s that I sense are being transmitted to me and belong
to these three wonderful volunteers are, Aries, Leo & Sagittarius”
Yes that’s right you just name all 3 of the fire signs and you are guaranteed
to have named each of the 3 peoples star-signs who are standing up as you
know for a fact due to the bit at the start of the show that all three of them
have Fire Signs.
You can then either proceed in the manner I do with the Tossed Out Deck
(see my Ebook “Long Distance Mobile Phone Telepathy” or as Wayne
Dobson advises for his Tossed Out Deck Routine.
This fly’s over the heads of audiences due to the fact that whilst the
majority of people seem to know what their own Star-Sign is (especially
women) and whilst the Majority of these know if they are Air, Earth, Fire
or Water, in general I have found that most people don’t know what all the
other Star-Signs are or what elements they fall into and as such never
realise that you have called out 3 Fire Signs…
Indeed even if they did realise this, they will due to the time delay most
likely have forgotten the bit at the start of the show, and even if they do
remember that won’t logically see that as being the Secret as quite frankly
they won’t think you’d be that cheeky.
This really is one of those times where bare cheek, combined with a time
delay so that people forget truly does create mind blowing miracles and
reactions that are unequalled from your audiences, but don’t take my word
for it, go out there and try this during a live show and prove to yourself
what an amazing reaction it does indeed get!
To apparently enable an onstage volunteer to reveal the three Star-Signs

simply take a newspaper and put a black marker pen circle around the
three Fire Sign’s (as per this example, obviously it could be any of the
other elements instead) and then allow a marker pen to dry out so that it
does not work any longer.
In performance apparently place an on stage volunteer into an Instant

Hypnotic Trance State for which genuine and trickery methods are
explained in my book “Confessions of a Hypnotist”
Then hand them the newspaper which you explain is opened to the
Horoscopes Page, and also hand them the dried out marker pen and tell
them to place both behind their back and then when they get the urge to
draw a circle or cross with the pen then to nod their head.
This is repeated two more times and to the audience it appears as if they
have on 3 occasions drawn a cross or circle using the marker pen onto the
horoscopes page of the newspaper.
In truth when they are brought back round out of the apparent Hypnotic
Trance State, the marks or crosses that they will find nearest to 3 Zodiac
Signs on the page are ones that you marked earlier due to the pen not
working but neither the on stage volunteer or audience know this.
Therefore you can then ask the on stage volunteer to read out the three star
signs that they feel the crosses or circles they have drawn are nearest to,
which of course will in this example be the three fire signs and as you
pointed at and got 3 people to stand up who you know from the start of the
show are all fire signs you will suddenly have what appears to the
audience to be an absolute miracle on your hands as all 3 of these people
sit down and confirm by doing that the on stage volunteer has somehow
managed to read all 3 of their minds and mark the 3 correct Zodiac Signs
on the newspaper page using the marker pen, which of course as we now
know does not actually work!
(This Dried Marker Audience member reveals someone’s Zodiac Sign idea
I first saw performed and explained at a lecture by Kennedy (Ken Dyne) to
whom special thanks must be extended and whose Mentalism Products I
cannot praise highly enough)
At this point you ask the audience to give the on stage volunteer a round of
applause and as they do just before you send them back to the audience
you can ask them directly the question “What’s your date of Birth”.
This person now returns to the audience and a little later on in the show
you could appear to point at them and ask them to stand up, whilst an on
stage volunteer stares into their eyes and apparently reads their mind and
tells them not only their star sign but also their exact date of birth.
Basically you will have secretly cued the on stage volunteer using the
“Klear Thoughtz” principle (See My Ebook By That Name) and they will
have just said the information that you have cued them with, namely the
other persons Star Sign and exact date of birth.
You of course in truth got the person who was on stage earlier in the show
to blatantly tell you this information under the cover of the audience
applauding them as they were sent back to their seats and have then left a
time delay for memories of everyone to get distorted.
Then when another audience member later in the show appears to tell
someone else in the audience their Star Sign and also their exact date of
birth the audience will be absolutely stunned.
The principle of getting the information from the person on stage earlier in
the show under the cover of applause then having it revealed in a manner
where the audience perceive it as being some kind of amazing mind
reading because they don’t ever realise that the person just told you is
known in Mentalism as “The Dunninger Ploy”
And the fact that the audience perceives this as a true miracle, whilst the
person who was on stage earlier is just amazed because they will wonder
how the other audience member got to know this information (even though
they will remember telling you it earlier) whilst the person on stage will
just be amazed about how you were able to cue them the right information
to reveal when in their minds there is no way you could of known it is an
example of what is known as “Dual Reality” and “Multiple Realties” at
work.
Once you have learnt the “Klear Thoughtz” principle (see my Ebook By
Same name) you will then fully understand how the routines I have just
mentioned both work and amaze audiences on a deeply emotional level.
Incidentally you can then give the person whose exact date of birth has
been revealed a Character Reading from the stage which will be confirmed
as being amazingly accurate and impressive to them and thus also impress
both them and the audience by using my “Lazy Mans Guide To Astrology”
which is taught within the pages of my book “Confessions of a Celebrity
Psychic” available from all major Magic Dealers.
A final thought on the above ideas is this; take another look at the Fire
Signs which we used in this example:
THE FIRE ELEMENT:
ARIES March 21-April 19,
LEO July 23-August 22,
SAGITTARIUS November 22-December 21
If you really wanted to improvise and think on your feet, you could notice
who are amongst the Fire Signs at the start of the show and then later in
the show point at several apparently random people.
However of course you’d just point at say 5 or 6 people that you recall as
being Fire Signs.
You can then have an on stage volunteer tell 5 of the six people at random
to sit down leaving only one person stood up in the audience.
I would in this example then say something to them such as:
“Please just think of your star-sign in your minds eye and start to transmit
that to me up here on the stage”
“I’m starting to get the impression that your birthday falls during the
warmer months, your birthdays not during the summer is it?”
Now the fact is if they are a Leo, they will have been born in either July or
August which is the Summer, so will answer YES MY BIRTHDAY IS
DURING THE SUMMER, which looks like a miracle to the audience
and of course confirms to you they are a Leo because you already know
they are a Fire Sign so now you can reveal they are a Leo with perhaps a
short Star Sign Reading first leading up to the reveal, or using the “Klear
Thoughtz” principle (see ebook of same name) you could have an on stage
audience member read their mind and tell them what Star-Sign they are.
If however they say NO MY BIRTHDAY IS NOT IN THE SUMMER,

it still looks as though you got this right because of the way you phrased
what you said, which although it was a question from your point of view,
can be perceived by the audience as being a statement of fact so long as
you raise your voice as you say the part in bold of the sentence:
“I’m starting to get the impression that your birthday falls during the
warmer months, your birthdays not during the summer is it?”
So if they say NO you can respond by saying something such as:
“Yes that’s what I thought, but I sense a warmish time of year, almost as if
you have a spring in your step on your birthday would that be correct?”
If they say YES then you know they were born in Spring Time and as such
are an Aries born in either March or April, if however they say NO then
they must be a Sagittarian born in November or December when it’s much
colder.
The thing is though as they themselves will have forgotten (as will the
audience) that you found out what element everyone’s Star Sign was
earlier in the show, they will have no idea that you know they are a Fire
Sign and as such no idea that you know for a fact that they are either Aries,
Leo or Sagittarius.
Therefore the gentle questioning disguised as statements of fact (known as

verbal fishing in mentalism) will easily go unnoticed and you can very
cleverly find out for certain which of the three fire signs they are without
anyone realising you have done this and without anything having ever
been written down by anyone at any time.
You can then knowing their Star Sign give them an amazingly accurate
character reading which both the audience and them will find hugely
impressive prior to either naming their Exact Zodiac Sign yourself or prior
to making it look like an onstage volunteer gets it right using the “Klear
Thoughtz” gimmick (see ebook of same name) of which you would have 3
gimmicks to hand, namely one for each of the three Fire Signs that they
could possibly be.
This of course with some careful thought and wording can be used to walk
up to any stranger and ask them to merely think of their Star-Sign and to
then write down what element of Star Sign they are.
You can then use a centre tear or any form of Billet peek to find out
whether they are Air, Earth, Fire or Water at which point you can use the
“verbal fishing” method as just detailed to narrow down which of the 3
possible star signs they are from the element they wrote down in such a
manner that you can always in an impressive manner reveal to them their
EXACT STAR–SIGN in a manner where they will swear they never
wrote it down due to the very real fact that they never did write down their
exact Star Sign they only wrote down what element they are.
And given that they have no idea that you managed to peek this
information they will truly believe you are Psychic if this approach is used
correctly.
And don’t forget that at the start of the show you could identify which
audience members are married, which are single and which are divorced
etc in your opening warm up “Mental Exercises” as you set the scene for
the show and this would also give you valuable information about people
which can be revealed later in the show in the same manner as just taught
here for the Star Signs.
All it takes is just a tiny bit of thought and imagination on your part and
using the principles taught in this section along with the Cold-Reading and
Verbal Fishing Techniques taught in my book “Confessions of a Celebrity
Psychic” and you truly do have some of the most impressive no props
required impromptu and stage mentalism available to you that will prove
to be reputation making!
As a final thought if you make use of a Thumb Writer (TW) then using the
principles I have detailed above you could apparently walk up to a
complete stranger, ask them to write the element of their sign onto a slip of
paper and fold it up so you can’t see it etc..
As they do this you could apparently write a prediction on one of your

business cards and place it flat on the table in full view.
Using either the Centre Tear method (CT) or your favourite glimpse you
find out what element they are and can then use the Verbal Fishing taught
earlier to read their mind and tell them what their element is and also what
exact Zodiac Sign they are!
Then as the kicker ending thanks to the use of a Nail Writer such as this
one - http://tinyurl.com/3oswal7 you can ask the volunteer what date of
the month they were born on and then are able to show them that this is the
number that you had written down on your prediction at the very start of
the effect.
If you’ve really got balls then ask the volunteer 3 questions that you know
the answers to and notice where their eyes point when answering these
things in a truthful manner.
Once you know this get them to think of which element their star sign is
and tell them you will ask them four questions and they are to say NO to
them all and try to fool you..
You then ask is their sign Air, Earth, Fire and finally Water.
If you watch closely for the three they are telling the truth for when they
say No its not right for them their eyes will point where they did for the
earlier questions when they told the truth whereas usually when they hit
the element which is theirs and are lying by saying NO their eyes will
move in a different direction and you’ll know by this which element they
are.
Once you know that proceed as already explained and with practise you’ll
have a reputation making effect on your hands.
For the record, although my work on this was not credited in the first few
copies sold of “Astro-Divinations” by Paul Voodini and Cashliostro, I am
aware that I am now Credited at least twice in the manuscript, as they have
now been made aware that I published in my “Klear Thoughtz” ebook
years ago the method of discovering what their Element is and then from
that using clever wording related to the weather and time of the year in
order to work out which of the 3 Signs of that element that actually were
born under.
Oh and one final point, you will find that quite a number of people do not
seem to know what element their Star Sign is, and even sometimes don’t
know what their Sign is at all. These days it is an easy matter to tell them
to look it up on the internet as either their own or a friends mobile phone
will have internet capability.
DAY FOR ANY DATE
To work out what day of the week any given date is you use this formula:-
W=C+Y+L+M+D (mod7)
Where:
• W is the day of the week month as below –
Monday 1 Friday 5
Tuesday 2 Saturday 6
Wednesday 3 Sunday 0
Thursday 4
• C is the code for the century month as below –
1800s, 2200s etc 2 Not Leap years
1900s, 2300s etc 0 Not Leap years
2000s, 2400s etc 5 Are Leap years
1700s, 2100s, 2500s etc 4 Not leap years
• Y is the last two digits of the year
• L is the number of leap days since the beginning of the century.

▪ Divide the two digits of the year by 4 and discard the
remainder (If there is no remainder that year is a leap
year).
▪ If the century is a leap year (e.g. 2000 or 2400) add 1.
▪ Note don’t count the leap year if it happens after the date
that you are calculating (January or February of that
year).
• M is the code for the month as below –
•
Jan 0 May 1 Sep 5
Feb 3 Jun 4 Oct 0
Mar 3 Jul 6 Nov 3
Apr 6 Aug 2 Dec 3
• D is the date.
• (mod7) just means divide by 7 and use the remainder.
• Example 20th July 1969. We get 0+69+17+6+20= 112/7= 16

remainder 0 so the day of the week is Sunday (which is correct).
Using the formula above you can tell people what day of the week they
were born on and when they confirm either by already knowing or by
checking on the internet using their phone they will be amazed.
Once you know the day of the week they were born the old English
nursery rhyme “Monday’s Child” first recorded in 1838 acts as a memory
aid of what children born on particular days of the week will be like in
terms of their attitude and personality.
Monday’s child is fair of face
Tuesday’s child is full of grace
Wednesday’s child is full of woe

Thursday’s child has far to go
Friday’s child is loving and giving
Saturday’s child works hard for his living
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
Monday’s Child is Fair of Face.
Monday children are associated with pleasing beauty, although modern

interpretations sometimes depict Monday’s children as shallow, vain, and
flighty. It’s a popular name for children’s clothing boutiques.
Tuesday’s Child is Full of Grace.
Tuesday children are associated with manners, elegance, and refinement.
Modern interpretations associate Tuesday’s children with faith and purity,

as in Contemporary Christian Musician Stephen Curtis Chapman’s Song,
Tuesday’s Child, which is also based on the poem.
Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe.
Wednesday children are associated with emotional empathy. They feel the
weight of the world, with a caring and compassionate outlook, often to the
point of sadness for others.
Grim and gloomy Wednesday Addams from the Addams Family

Television Series optimizes a Wednesday’s child. Modern uses associate
with the term with children in foster care and from broken homes.
Thursday’s Child has Far to Go.
Thursday children have a long, successful life ahead of them.

So What Does Thursday’s Child has Far to Go Mean? Sometimes, “far to
go” is interpreted as meaning a difficult path, such as children with special
needs. However, traditional versions focus on the concept of positive
abilities and talents that will take them far in life, rather than attributes to
overcome.
Friday’s Child is Loving and Giving.
Friday children are big-hearted and generous. However, in many

traditional versions, anything on a Friday was held as bad luck.
In the 1887 version of Monday’s Child published in Harper’s Weekly, it is

Friday, not Wednesday, associated with the child “full of woe.” This most
likely reflects the Christian association with Friday as the day of the
Crucifixion.
Saturday’s Child works Hard for a Living.
Saturday children are hardworking, responsible, and dedicated.
Sometimes “hard” is interpreted as difficult or struggling. However,

traditional versions view hard work as a positive trait, as opposed to
“lazy”, indicating Saturday’s children are passionate about their work and
make lasting contributions to the world.
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day is Bonny and Blithe,
and Good and Gay.
Numerous versions exist for the Sabbath, or Sunday child. Often Sunday’s
children are referred to as ‘happy and wise’, rather than ‘bonny and blithe.’
The original version of the nursery rhyme actually refers to Christmas

Day, rather than Sunday. Christmas (December 25th) was traditionally the
luckiest day of birth.

RUNE STONE CASTING
Now to confuse matters just a tiny bit I shall explain that I will be
teaching you how to remember the meanings of the Norse Runes
which are essentially the same except that there is also a Rune
number 25 which is Blank and called Wyrd as you will see as
we progress further through this course.
But before we begin properly, please be aware that there are as

many "meanings" as there are "experts" out there to teach you the
meanings.
Please don't worry if you've seen different meanings in a book,

that is bound to be the case to some extent as there are tons of
books out there that contradict each other as to what the true
meanings of the Runes actually are.
Don't let this concern you, life will be so much easier if you just
learn the meanings the way I am about to explain them to you in
the pages of this publication.
FREY
1) FREY
Look at the image and it looks like a Letter F with two of the bits
angled up in the air like a man's penis would point in the air if he
had an erection.
Therefore when I see this rune the fact it looks like the letter F
which is the first letter of the runes name FREY who was the God
of Fertility it reminds me of Creation, Birth & Growth.
The Letter F also happens to be the first letter of the word

Fertility which is one of the main meanings of this rune which I
am further reminded of by the fact that two of the bits of this
funny letter F angled up in the air like a man's penis would point
in the air if he had an erection just before having sex and making
Love (Not War and thus Love = Peace) to a Fertile Female with
whom he is in a Peaceful and Harmonious Relationship.
He had been after her for years until he was Successful and Got
Lucky with her!
I also noticed that the Runes name is FREY and this is made up of
the first 3 letters and the last letter of the word FERtilitY albeit
that they are in a slightly different order so have a slight Change
to them.
The Conventional Meaning of FREY as Found In Books
Frey was the God of Fertility and Peace. This Rune therefore,
means good luck, success and fertility. It also refers to harmony.
Reversed Meaning = Loss or Stagnation and a Lack of Harmony.

POWER
2) POWER
This Rune Looks Like a Lower Case Letter N (n) to me and that
reminds me of the British Electricity and Gas Supply Company
called N-Power.
It reminds me that my Creative friend who does Do It Yourself

(DIY) has an Electric Saw and Electric Drill as I have imagined
these items to be on the top of the tables slightly angled top which
is also what this Letter N (n) style rune could be looking like.
Without the Electricity supplied by N-Power he cannot use the
tools to express fully his Creative Power.
I am also reminded of how Expensive Gas and Electric is and how

much it costs but to the supply company it is for them very Good
Fortune and a Great Opportunity.
As well as the above I also Imagine The Pop Star Justin

Timberlake who was in the Group NSYNC (the n rune reminds
me of this) having sex on the Table as this Rune also represents
Sexuality.
Having thought of Justin Timberlake and being reminded of

NSYNC I am reminded of how Clever, Wise and
Knowledgeable my Wife is when it comes to Knowing the
Answers and Winning Pub Quizzes!
In turn this reminds me that Knowledge is Power or more

precisely that Applied Knowledge is Power.
The Conventional Meaning of POWER as Found In Books
This Rune means creative power but also wisdom and knowledge.
It stands for good fortune and opportunity but also sexuality.
Reversed Meaning = Opportunities missed, a lack of

development and possible physical problems or issues.
THORN – THOR
3) THORN – (THOR)
This Rune to me looks like a triangular pointy clowns hat that has
been balanced on its side, this in turn reminds me that Hard
Strong Hats offer protection to our heads and that Thor was the
Norse god of Strength.
As I look at it more it can look like a Thorn - (Thor) sticking out

of the edge of a very short branch and it reminds me of a
youngster playing in a field and accidentally walking into a bush
and getting Scratched by a Thorn.
The scratch hurts and the child shouts out “Oh God” that hurt, but
they are Strong like Thor the God of Strength and do not cry.
The Child climbs out of the Thorn bush and see their mummy
who comes over to give them help and to distract them from the
injury by providing the good news that they are about to go to the
local Pizza Restaurant for dinner.
The Conventional Meaning of THORN as Found In Books
Thor was the Norse God of Strength. This Rune, therefore, means
Protection. Someone may provide help or good news may come.
Reversed Meaning = It can mean bad news or vulnerability. As a

Thorn it denotes small but not overly serious dangers.
ODIN
4) ODIN
At first sight this rune looks like a letter F where the sticky out
bits are angled down towards the ground because the letter F has
got Old and tired.
It could also be that those angled towards the ground parts of the
letter F are the handles on a Walking Frame as used by an Older
Person to help them.
This Older Person is very helpful and has much wisdom and
advice to give, indeed this Rune represents ODIN himself who is
associated with Sorcery and Magic and so I always think of
ODIN as a Wise & Old Wizard able to offer Psychic Powers,
Insights & Initiation into the Occult (Hidden & Unknown).
The Conventional Meaning of ODIN as Found In Books
This Rune represents Odin himself. It Signifies wisdom and help

from someone older. It can mean magic, psychic power or
initiation.
Reversed Meaning = This invokes Odin's trickster side. Someone

(and this is especially true of an older person) who causes trouble
of plays tricks. Beware of Advice given by such people.
WHEEL
5) WHEEL
This Rune Looks to me like a Letter R as in the first letter of the

name of the luxury Car Manufacturer Rolls Royce.
Rolls Royce produce luxury cars with beautiful Steering Wheels

that provide extremely pleasant transportation from one place to
another.
I easily recall a Spiritual Person as I have imagined the Dali
Lama sat crossed leg on the roof of the Rolls Royce and I realise
that whilst the person inside the car is on a Physical Journey the
Dali Lama sat on the roof is on a Spiritual Journey.
In both cases though the driver inside and Dali Lama on top find
that the journey brings some positive development to them.
The Conventional Meaning of WHEEL as Found In Books
This Rune can indicate physical journeys, especially pleasant

ones, or journeys that bring some positive development. It can also
refer to a person's “Spiritual” journey of development.
Reversed Meaning = It means a difficult journey or delays. It can

also refer to lessons that the person must learn in order to move on
and progress in life.
FIRE
6) FIRE
This rune looks like a Letter V that is lay on its side and this
reminds me of the word Virgin and thus in turn that the rune
represents Sexual Desires and Passion.
I also notice that the V on its side looks like the handles on a pair
of Bellows that are used with Real Fires to help create a bigger
Fire.
And as I think of the open Log Fire I notice that above it is hung a
wonderful painting and this reminds me that the Rune also
represents Creative Fire and the Artistic Impulse.
The Conventional Meaning of FIRE as Found In Books
This Rune represents the creative fire – the artistic impulse – but
also passion and sexual desire.
Reversed Meaning = It means a block or impediment to the

person's creative energy.
GIFT
7) GIFT
This Rune looks like the letter X and reminds me of the treasure
that pirates have buried and how these Gifts can be found using a
treasure map where X marks the spot of where the Gift is to be
found.
It also reminds me of the Joy and Happiness on the young child's

face as they open the gift they have just been given of a
Xylophone that they had always wanted.
The gift reminds me of Christmas when people and families

come together and relationships seem to become better and
deeper through the Joys of generosity and also giving.
The Conventional Meaning of GIFT as Found In Books
This is a sign of gifts, generosity, and giving. People come

together and relationships become deeper.
Reversed Meaning = It means selfishness but also separation.

Something may block or harm friendship.
JOY
8) JOY
This Rune looks to me a lot like the Letter P and reminds me of

the word Party and the fact that People go to a Party and
experience Happiness, JOY and Harmony with their friends.
It also looks a bit like a Flag on a stick and this makes me think of
the different flags of the World and how going on Holiday brings
JOY to people and this in turn reminds me of the old saying that
“A Change is as Good As a rest” which reminds me that this
Rune can signify that a situation may be about to change for the
better.
The Conventional Meaning of JOY as Found In Books
A sign of Happiness and Harmony between people. A Situation

may change for the better.
Reversed Meaning = It means problems between people, changes

that can bring unhappiness. It warns the person to look at
situations that might cause trouble.
HAIL
9) HAIL
I look at this Rune and think of the letter H which is the first letter
of the word Hail as in Hail Stones that are frozen pellets of water
that fall from the Sky.
A really bad Hail Stone Storm could cause unexpected setbacks

or problems for someone trying to walk to work for example.
Indeed if they did not have a proper coat on they could get so wet
that they could develop an illness.
The Conventional Meaning of HAIL as Found In Books
This Rune signifies unexpected setbacks or problems for the

person, especially illness.
Reversed Meaning = It represents delays, primarily from forces

or situations outside the person. (Think the Weather is Bad
Outside)
NECESSITY
10) NECESSITY
When I look at this Rune it reminds me of Cross, the kind of cross

that Jesus may have been nailed to when he was crucified.
It makes me think of Jesus at the Last Supper with all the disciples
having a Feast and eating tons of food which is a manifestation of
Greed.
Once on the cross Jesus had no choice but to learn the lesson of
Patience and he would have soon learned that it would not go
well if he tried to push something (in this case his hands off the
nails as that would seriously hurt).
Indeed if he allowed his inner desire to get free to takeover then he

would have soon learnt that simple desire can prove destructive
(as it would have hurt even more).
It also makes me recall Religious People who I have heard say that
for years they felt a gap within themselves and had the
NECESSITY to try and fill this, which they say they did when
they found Jesus and God.
The Conventional Meaning of NECESSITY as In Books
This important Rune teaches the lesson of patience. It will not go

well if the person tries to push something. Greed or Simple desire
can prove destructive.
Reversed Meaning = It warns the person to avoid quick

decisions. He or She should think carefully before making any
kind of commitment. (I remember that the other way round
Jesus would end up on cross so this way make a careful
decision to avoid that)
ICE
11) ICE
I look at this rune and think of a Capital I letter which also

happens to be the first letter of the Runes name Ice.
The fact the Rune is called Ice reminds me of the Titanic and how
it hit an Iceberg which was an obstacle in its path.
As people fought with each other to try and get off the ship and
into a lifeboat first this caused much coldness between people.
The Conventional Meaning of ICE as In the Books
This Rune denotes some kind of obstacle. By its imagery it also

represents coldness between people.
Reversed Meaning = It suggests that this coldness can lead to

arguments. However, the person can act positively to try to melt
the ice in a more productive way enabling them to move forward.
YEAR
12) YEAR
When I see this Rune the image makes me think of two Garden
Hoe's laid down next to each other. As with anything I may
mention in this book which you may be unsure as to what it is,
simply type the name of it into Google and then click on “images”
to see pictures of Garden Hoes on Google Images and you will
soon be able to see why the image on the Rune reminds me of 2
Garden Hoes laid next to each other.
As they are used in Gardening where you plant seeds (plans) for
the future and over time things come to fruition and grow this
Rune reminds me that over time the effort you put in (such as
planting things) will receive its rewards (the plants grow and
provide Fruit and Vegetables for example) This is a great example
of the Cycles of Life and Nature.
The image reminds me the Rune is called YEAR as Gardeners use

their Hoes at different times of the YEAR depending on what
particular plant, fruit or vegetable they are planting at that time.
The Conventional Meaning of YEAR as In the Books
This Rune refers to the cycles of nature and life. Something will
come to fruition. Effort receives its reward.
Reversed Meaning = It suggests a block in the natural working

out of things. When this block is removed things will reach their
natural conclusion. (Think UN-NATURAL until Action Taken)
YEW
13) YEW
The image on this Rune makes me think of a bolt of lightning

coming down through some YEW trees, hitting someone and
Killing them so they face their own death.
But this person believes in re-incarnation and so this is not the

end, but rather just the end of one thing and the start of
something new.
Or it can mean leaving old habits and ways behind (like not
going outside into the forest during a thunder and lightning storm
anymore) to make way for more positive ones.
Sometimes YEW (sounds like You) have got to change things!
The Conventional Meaning of YEW as In the Books
The Yew Tree was sacred to Odin who gathered dead souls for
their journey to Valhalla or the Underworld. This Rune, therefore
signifies the solemn importance of death in human life.
We can interpret it like Death in the Tarot (the 13th Trump or

Major Arcana Card) as denoting the passing of old ways and
habits.
Reversed Meaning = It means that the person hangs onto old

pattern, habits and ways of behaviour and thinking which are no
longer of use to them. Can also represent an emotional difficulty
with regards to Death.
HEARTH
14) HEARTH
When I see this symbol it reminds me that it looks a bit like a Fire
Guard that is used to put in front of a real coal or log fire in order
to stop children or indeed anyone else falling into the fire and
hurting themselves.
(Do a Google Image search on Fire Guard and you will see why I
get this mental image when I see this Rune)
Then it always jumps into my mind now that the floor of a real
Fire Place is called a HEARTH
And I am also reminded of how how homely a real log fire is in

your home but how mysterious it can be to stare into the flames
of the fire and enjoying the mystery of what image may seem to
form next in the flames and knowing that things are not always
what they seem and sometimes we need to look below the
surface.
Who knows what lies beneath the surface which I am reminded

of by my mental image within which I have decided that there are
either Dead Body's (negative) or Hidden Treasures (positive)
buried beneath the HEARTH (floor of the fire place).
The Conventional Meaning of HEARTH as In the Books
By its symbolism this Rune refers to the home. Traditionally it

signifies mystery. Things may not be what they seem. The person
may need to look below the surface.
Reversed Meaning = It means that secrets are revealed and

feelings openly expressed.
PROTECTION
15) PROTECTION
When I see the image on this Rune it reminds me of the time when
the wind blew my umbrella that was supposed to be my
Protection against the Danger of rain inside out as it looks like an
umbrella that has been blown inside out.
The person whose umbrella has just been blown inside out may
face a temptation to swear and shout obscene words but will
resist it as there are young children around who may hear.
After all the discount shop/store is just around the corner and so
they can buy a new umbrella and thus new beginnings are
possible.
The Conventional Meaning of PROTECTION as In the Books
This Rune signifies protection from danger. The person may face
a temptation but will resist it. New beginnings are possible.
Reversed Meaning = It indicates some danger which the person
needs to avoid. This may come from someone else.
THE SUN
16) THE SUN
I like to think of the image on this Rune as being a Letter S

which is the first letter of the the word and its name Sun.
I can then think of the Sun shining down and lighting up the path
ahead so its light gives me guidance in where to go.
I also think of the Sun helping things to grow in a healthy manner

and the fact that when it is Sunny people naturally seem to be
Happier and display more Happiness.
It also makes me think of people on Holiday Relaxed and feeling

using their creative will as they build sandcastles on the beach.
The Conventional Meaning of SUN as In the Books
This is a Rune of Good Health and Happiness, it also denotes the

creative will. It can signify guidance.
Reversed Meaning = It indicates the danger of illness from

carelessness.
TYR
17) TYR
The Image on the Rune is an Arrow and this makes me think of

the Indians shooting their Arrows at the Cowboys as they fight the
War between them and TYR (Try Spelt differently) to win the
war as TYR is the God of War.
As the God of War TYR has courage and energy but also
passion that brings happiness when the fight/game is won,
which is also how the Indians would feel by winning.
The Conventional Meaning of TYR as In the Books
Tyr was the god of war. This Rune signifies courage and energy
but also passion bringing happiness.
Reversed Meaning = It indicates that conflicts drain the person. It

is a mark of frustration.
BIRTH
18) BIRTH
The image on this rune looks to me like a Letter B which also

happens to be the first letter of its name BIRTH.
Also it can be seen to look like a pair of breasts which a women

would use for Breast Feeding their baby when they have given
BIRTH.
It therefore can mean an actual Birth or new marriage but also

can mean new beginnings and growth (just as the baby grows
during pregnancy until birth) in any event it is the start of
something significant.
The Conventional Meaning of BIRTH as In the Books
This Rune can refer to an actual birth or new marriage but also to
beginnings and growth, the start of something significant.
Reversed Meaning = It indicates stagnation or obstacles that

prevent the birth, start or growth of something.
HORSE
19) HORSE
This Rune looks like a Letter M which is the first letter of the
word Mare which is the name of a female HORSE.
As you can ride on a Horse it signifies travel but also change (as
in change of scenery) such as a new job or a new home.
I think of the family moving home and thus having enough land
to then get a Horse and so the young daughter gets a weekend and
after school part time new job to earn the money to look after her
new Horse.
Imagine riding the Horse through a tranquil meadow and it will

help remind you this can also refer to Spiritual Journeys.
The Conventional Meaning of HORSE as In the Books
This Rune signifies travel but also change, such as a new job or a
new home. It can refer to spiritual journeys.
Reversed Meaning = It indicates restlessness. The Person wishes

to travel to escape. (think of an upside down Horse that would
be restless and want to escape)
MAN
20) MAN
The image on this Rune looks like a pair of Opera Glasses that just
happens to have 2 handles instead of one (google opera glasses on
Google Images to see what I mean) which would be used by a
MAN at the Opera to see things more clearly.
Opera is often seen as a pastime that the “Upper Class” and people
from “Posh” family's go to. Those people who are often perceived
as thinking they are better than others and have more
intelligence, memory and culture.
Indeed this Rune Signifies all the attributes that set humans
apart from other species.
The Conventional Meaning of MAN as In the Books
This image signifies a human being and suggests intelligence,

memory and culture, all the attributes that set humans apart. The
Rune can also relate to family matters.
Reversed Meaning = It indicates that the person seeks isolation,

especially from family. It can also mean not using intelligence.
WATER
21) WATER
When I see the image on this Rune it makes me think of a Wire

Dowsing Rod (Do a google image search for Wire Dowsing Rod)
which is surrounded by mystery but gives a link to the
unconscious and intuition of the person enabling them to find
WATER and so showing them they have psychic awareness and
also hidden sources of creativity they were not aware of.
The Image also reminds me of an old Fashioned Street Water

Pump (do a Google Image Search for Street Water Pump) where
the bit pointing diagonally downwards is where you pump the
WATER out.
I am also reminded that WATER is one of the 4 Elements which

are used in Astrology which is surrounded by mystery but gives a
link to the unconscious and intuition of the person and can show
them that they have psychic awareness and also hidden sources
of creativity they were not aware of.
The Conventional Meaning of WATER as In the Books
Water symbolizes the unconscious, intuition and mystery. This

Rune indicates psychic awareness but also the hidden sources of
creativity.
Reversed Meaning = It means that the water has become stormy.

The person becomes emotional but confused.
FERTILITY
22) FERTILITY
This to me looks a bit like a Diamond and as they say Diamonds

are a Girls Best friend so I recall a women who can give birth if
she has good FERTILITY.
It could also be an outline of the Womans “Hole” (Vagina) which

reminds me of having sex until ejaculation (completion) with this
women who has good FERTILITY which is apt as this Rune
indicates completion.
She gets pregnant and I hope that the baby develops to their
fullest potential as I have loads of ideas and planned projects to
make their Nursery look awesome!
The Conventional Meaning of FERTILITY as In the Books
This Rune indicates completion, whether of projects or ideas or in

the sense of people developing to their fullest potential.
Reversed Meaning = It shows a block to that development. The

person needs to work harder.
DAY
23) DAY
When I see the image on this Rune I think of an old Style

Traditional Egg Timer which is lying down on its side as though it
has been asleep in bed and is now about to get up as it experiences
awakening and clarity at the start of a new DAY.
At the start of this new DAY the Traditional Egg Timer (do a
Google Image Search of Traditional Egg Timer) gets up and
makes breakfast of large expensive Ostrich and Duck Eggs as they
are experiencing Success, Wealth and Abundance in Life.
The Conventional Meaning of DAY as In the Books
This is a Rune of awakening and clarity. It indicates success,

wealth and abundance in life.
Reversed Meaning = It means that the person needs to be very

careful and to conserve all their resources.
ANCESTRAL PROPERTY
24) ANCESTRAL PROPERTY
I look at the image on this Rune and think of a Diamond Ring

with a big Diamond on top.
I have imagined that this Diamond Ring is ANCESTRAL

PROPERTY in that it was part of my Inheritance from a
member of the family and it is a family tradition that this ring is
passed down through the generations.
I have imagined it is also a magical ring and therefore when worn

can give the person inherited abilities they did not have before.
The Conventional Meaning of ANCESTRAL PROPERTY
This Rune refers to inheritances and to property in general. It can

also describe inherited abilities or family traditions.
Reversed Meaning = It signifies that there are problems with

inheritance, difficulties with parents, or a break with family in
some manner.
WYRD – FATE
25) WYRD (FATE)
This Rune is blank which is WYRD (Weird) when the other 24

have images on them.
It is a blank surface, a blank portrait and at the moment it is a

Mystery as to what FATE will draw upon that surface or has
planned for them.
It indicates something that the person cannot currently know

or be aware of as the page is blank, they will just have to wait for
FATE to decide the issue.
The Conventional Meaning of WYRD – (FATE)
The blank Rune signifies mystery but also fate. In a reading it

indicates something that the person cannot know. It also tells them
that fate may decide the issue.
Reversed Meaning = There is no reversed meaning as looks the

same in both directions!

And there you have it all 25 Rune Stones and their meanings!
As you will have hopefully noticed in the vast majority of cases

the Reversed Meaning of the Rune for when it appears upside
down in a reading is just to say the EXACT OPPOSITE of what
the Runes meaning would be if it were the correct way up.
There is the odd little exception to that, but where relevant I have
given a memory aid for the other meanings as you will see.
In terms of a good set of Runes to get you started which also come
with a book that will teach you the various spreads and positions
(and what the places the chosen Runes have been placed mean) I
would recommend the book and Runes Package entitled:
The Runes Pack by Horik Svensson.

Look on Ebay or Amazon and you can usually pick these up quite
cheaply.
If any of the “Mental Images” I have suggested do not make

immediate sense to you, then just type them into Google and do a
Google Image Search and when you see the image of the phrase I
and/or object that I have mentioned, that should help you to burn
the meaning of the Rune into your memory banks for instant recall
when you come to doing readings.

check out these extra videos located here:

I will now briefly explain how the images on the Runes can easily
be associated to Letters in the English Alphabet or equally as
easily to the numbers 1 through to 25 to serve as two more
memory joggers of what each of the Runes means and what to say
about each of them when it comes up in a reading.
In regards to the image on previous page you can see that each Rune
Relates to a letter of the Alphabet and in most cases that the letter it relates
to in the alphabet also is the first letter (or last) in the name of the Rune so
that if you were to have Runes that actually had the names of them written
on them you'd have an easy memory aid to visually remind you of which
letter of the alphabet that particular Rune Image relates to.
Such a set of Runes exists thanks to Andreas Sebring of the Metal Writing
for Magicians & Mentalists Company who has manufactured his truly
beautiful and amazing “Runes of Wisdom” package which you would be
well advised to obtain from this link:
www.metalwriting.com/the-runes-of-wisdom.html
Within the “Runes of Wisdom” package from Andreas Sebring you will
get an ebook which teaches his system of relating each Rune to a letter of
the Alphabet and then using that letter of the Alphabet for the Ken De
Courcy Style memory trigger system that then gives you a keyword to
remind you what that particular rune is about.
I’ll be praising this Rune Package from Sebring and his Metal Writing
more fully shortly in relation to Rune Style Mentalism routines so for now
I will move onto the idea of relating each of the visual Rune images to the
numbers from 1 through to 25 respectively.
NUMBER ONE = It Looks Like A Number One

NUMBER TWO = It is Made up of Two Lines
NUMBER THREE = Visually it reminds me of the number 3
NUMBER FOUR = There are four points or 4 end to the lines

NUMBER FIVE = Looks like letter F as in number Five
NUMBER SIX = On most Runes looks even more like letter S for Six
NUMBER SEVEN = Looks like a back to front number 7

NUMBER EIGHT = Looks like a Number 8 laid down on its side
NUMBER NINE = Looks like a back to front number 9
NUMBER TEN = This looks like an X which is Roman Numeral for 10

NUMBER ELEVEN = Two Vertical Lines make up the number 11
NUMBER TWELVE = Twelve rhymes with Delve and sideways this

looks like a Plough used to dig up stuff so reminds me of number 12
NUMBER THIRTEEN = Separate it at vertical line and you get a 1 and 3

NUMBER FOURTEEN = Looks like a 1 & 4 next to each other with bit
just a bit missing to fully form the 4 on the right hand side
NUMBER FIFTEEN = There is a vertical line (1) and a V which is 5 in

Roman Numerals and so obviously this is 15
NUMBER SIXTEEN = Looks like letter M = Get Married at Sixteen (16)

NUMBER SEVENTEEN = Splits down vertical line into a 1 and 7
NUMBER EIGHTEEN = At Eighteen you get the Right to vote
NUMBER NINETEEN = Looks like a Hook to hand things on hence

memory aid of Hang on I’m almost an adult at 19.
NUMBER TWENTY = Some Look like this..
NUMBER TWENTY = However most look like this and thus are two X’s
on top of each other, two Roman Numeral 10’s = total of 20
NUMBER TWENTY – ONE = Looks like a Key Hole and at 21 you get
the key to the door
NUMBER TWENTY – TWO = Remember Number 2 well this is 2 of
them hence it is 22
NUMBER TWENTY – THREE = Arrow indicates straight ahead almost

there at final picture so has to be number 23 as only 24 Picture Runes
NUMBER TWENTY – FOUR = It’s the finishing flag the end so 24

NUMBER TWENTY – FIVE = Blank Canvas final rune is 25
The idea is that when you see the image of the Rune it will help spring to
mind the memory aid and thus remind you of what number in the list
above that Rune image is related to and then in turn this will remind you of
whatever meaning/s you have connected to that number using mnemonics
(easy memory triggers) which in turn tells you what to say.
You can of course make your own memory associations between the
numbers 1 to 25 and the meanings of each of the Runes, however I would
suggest that you save time and invest in a copy of “Runes with a View” by
Black Hart which also comes with a lovely pocket sized portable set of
wooden runes for just 35 pounds sterling at the time of writing from
http://www.blackhart.co.uk/runeswithaview.html
We shall now briefly turn our attention to Mentalism Style Routines using
Rune Stones and in that regards I once again strongly advise you to invest
into a set of the “Runes of Wisdom” package manufactured by Andreas
Sebring of Metal Writing and which can be ordered from this link:
Not only will that package give you the ideal Rune’s to use for your
personal readings which have the name of the Rune etched into the bottom
end of them making the use of the Alphabet System incredibly easy, but
also it comes with various gimmicks that can be used for Mentalism
Routines.
You get 2 different Double Sided Runes which means that the Runes can
be cast (thrown into air to land on the table) again and again with all the
face down Runes being put back into their lovely bag as they are randomly
eliminated.
This continues until only one Rune remains face up (namely one of the
double sided ones) or two remain face up (when using both double sided
Runes) and these can of course then be proven to have been predicted in
advance of these seemingly random events.
Or even better as you know for certain what the outcome of the random
Rune Casting will be this can be used as the force element of a One Ahead
multiple prediction routine enabling you to predict numerous things and
choices made by various audience members.
You are supplied with a large bag to keep things in and this can be used
along with some of the Runes and one of the included Magnetic Runes to
perform Max Mavens Kurotsuke routine whereby each of say 5 people
pick a Rune from the bag and hold it in their hands and you are able to
eliminate the 4 people who are not holding the Target Rune.
Sebring at Metal Writing supplies you with two magnetic Runes along
with the Kurotsuke gimmick and instructions on how to use this to know
which person has taken and is holding onto the magnetic Rune.
Go onto Ebay or do a google search for “Magic Magnet Detector” and you
will soon find a device for sale like the picture above or below for less
than Twenty Pounds at the time of writing.
This device will enable you to be able to detect which hand a person is
holding one of the Magnetic Runes inside of so you can demonstrate time
and time again picking up on the energies of the Rune and revealing which
hand somebody has hidden the Rune in.
Just be sure to ask Sebring to also include a Blank Rune to make it a
normal set of 25 Runes as then you’ll be able to use the Rune Memory
systems we have discussed in exactly the manner they have been taught.
There are of course many other things you could use this “Runes of
Wisdom” package for and in that regard for more Rune Stone related
Mentalism Ideas take a look at:
https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/search?keyword=rune+stones
One final time I again strongly advise you to invest into a set of the
“Runes of Wisdom” package manufactured by Andreas Sebring of Metal
Writing and which can be ordered from this link:
And just for the record NO I am not on commission from Sebring!
TAROT & PLAYING CARD READING
TAROT CARDS – THE RIDER WAITE DECK
The easiest pack of Tarot to learn with are in my opinion the Rider
Waite Deck as essentially if you look at the images on these cards
and just describe what you see in the pictures then you will have
plenty to talk about and immediately will be able to give readings
as when you say what you see it will usually have a lot of
relevance for the person who has come for the reading.
I would however suggest that you listen to the training audio at the
web link which follows before reading the rest of this book.
https://youtu.be/3K320aYebkg
Having listened to the recording at the link above you will already
be well on your way to remembering the meaning of all 78 tarot
Cards and also the 52 Playing Cards.
So when you now read the rest of this section it should all sink
positively and firmly into your mind for instant easy recall when
you come to doing readings.

THE DECK OF (PLAYING CARD’S) LYRIC’S
During the North African Campaign, a bunch of soldier boys had

been on a long hike. They arrived in a little town called Casino.
The next morning being Sunday, several of the boys went to

church. A sergeant commanded the boys in church.
After the Chaplain read the prayer, the text was taken up next.
Those of the boys that had a prayer book took them out. One boy
had only a deck of cards, and he spread them out. The sergeant
saw the cards and said, "Soldier, put away those cards."
After the service was over, the soldier was taken prisoner and
brought before the Provost Marshal.
The Marshal said, "Sergeant, why have you brought this man
here?"
"For playing cards in church, Sir," was the response.
The Marshal asked the soldier, "And what have you to say for
yourself, son?"
"Much, Sir," replied the soldier.
The Marshal stated, "I hope so, for if not I will punish you more
than any man was ever punished."
The soldier said, "Sir, I have been on the march for about six
months. I have neither bible nor a prayer book, but I hope to
satisfy you, sir, with the purity of my intentions." And with that,
the boy started his story ...
"You see, sir, when I look at the Ace, it reminds me that there is
but one God.
And the deuce reminds me that the bible is divided into two parts:
the Old and the New Testaments.
When I see the trey, I think of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit.
And when I see the four, I think of the four evangelists who
preached the Gospel: there was Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
And when I see the five, it reminds me of the five wise virgins
who trimmed their lamps; there were ten of them: five were wise
and were saved, five were foolish and were shut out.
When I see the six, it reminds me that in six days God made this
heaven and earth.
And when I see the seven, it reminds me that on the seventh day,
God rested from his great work.
And when I see the eight, I think of the eight righteous persons
that God saved when he destroyed the earth: there was Noah, his
wife, their sons and their wives.
And when I see the nine, I think of the lepers our saviour cleansed,
and that nine of the ten didn't even thank him.
When I see the ten, I think of the ten commandments that God
handed down to Moses on a tablet of stone.
When I see the King, it reminds me that there is but one King of
Heaven, God Almighty.
And when I see the Queen, I think of the blessed Virgin Mary who
is the Queen of Heaven.
And the Jack or Knave is the Devil.
When I count the number of spots in a deck of cards, I find 365,

the number of days in a year.
There are 52 cards, the number of weeks in a year.
There are four suits, the number of weeks in a month.
There are twelve picture cards, the number of months in a year.
There are thirteen tricks, the number of weeks in a quarter.
So you see, Sir, my deck of cards serves me as a bible, an almanac

and a prayer book."
The author and performer of "Deck of Cards" was

T. Texas Tyler.
He stated at the conclusion:
"And friends, this story is true. I know ... I was that soldier."

NOTE: As the FOOL is regarded as card Zero that is the total

22 Cards of The Major Arcana.
Incidentally although similar in content to what the late and great Joe
Riding explained in his book “Learn the Tarot in Seven Days” this is
actually in truth based on the contents of several much older books, and by
much older I mean decades older including one I have sat here entitled
“The Tarot Made Easy” which was printed circa 1960 and which I
purchased many years ago for less than $5 in an old Occult Book store
inside the Corn Exchange in Manchester City Centre (England)
Anyhow starting from the simple memory system explained in the audio
recording, your next step is to sit down with your deck of Rider Waite
Tarot and to one at a time pick the cards up and do exactly as follows:
01) Pick up A Tarot Card and Stare at it for a Minute or Two, being sure to
look all around the card and pay attention to all the images in both the
foreground of the picture and also those in the distance as well.
02) Then close your eyes and take a few nice deep breathes in through
your nose and then out through your mouth before you take in breathe
number four which you can, this time hold for a few seconds and then let it
out rapidly like a giant sigh as you notice how this helps you to relax.
03) Then make an image in your minds eye of the Image on the Tarot Card
that you were just staring at a few moments before, make it as clear as
possible inside your mind and then imagine being able to climb inside the
image on the card and entering into the picture.
04) Next as you enter the picture in your minds eye take a few minutes to
explore what you can see including all that is off the card, yes that’s right
in your minds eye imagine being able to walk off the edges/sides of the
Tarot Card image you saw before and being able to see and explore what
else is there.
05) After a few minutes of this, allow the image to fade away as if drifting
off into your mind, like a cloud being blown away into the distance by the
wind and then open your eyes and look directly at the Tarot Card which
you were staring at before.
06) Pick up this card and turn it face down onto the table in front of you
and then start this 6 step process again with the next Tarot Card in the
pack.
This whole process should take no more than around 6 minutes for each
card, and of course you could choose to have breaks every now and again
or spread the 78 card deck out over a few days.
But in total at 6 minutes per card by 78 cards, that is only 468 minutes
which is Seven Hours & 48 Minutes in total.
NOTE= However airy fairy the above 6 step process may sound, let me
please assure you that setting aside a day of your time to go through this
process with all 78 Tarot Cards after you've taken on board the simple
memory system explained in the audio recording, will without doubt help
you to give far more detailed, interesting, accurate and flowing readings.
And that leads us nicely to the next piece of the jigsaw which is YOU
MUST HAVE COMPLETE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ABILITY as a
Psychic Reader in order to be able to be so relaxed during the giving of
your readings, that you both learn to trust in your intuition (yes I did just
suggest you say the first thing that comes into your head and trust your
gut instinct)but also because you being relaxed will have the knock on
effect of helping your clients to relax and in turn when they relax they will
communicate with you more (both Verbally and Non Verbally) without
them either realising it or remembering it after the event.

Joe Riding’s Complete Psychic Course – (Search Google for this)
Speed Learning Cartomancy by Julian Moore

https://www.coldreading.co/
And a DVD that is, I feel worth watching is called “Mark Lewis Tarot
Reading for Entertainment” by International Magic.
And above all else I 100% Unreservedly recommend that you obtain a
deck of the SAGA Tarot created by Andreas Sebring of Metal Writing and
also study the book that comes with them as you will then also become a
much better Tarot Reader on so many levels.
Order the SAGA TAROT today from this link:
https://www.metalwriting.com/the-saga-tarot.html
SAGA is an acronym which stands for
Symbolic Meaning
Associations
General Meaning
Alternative Meaning
The word in the bottom left corner is the Symbolic meaning trigger word.
The word in top left corner is the Associated meanings trigger word.
The word on top right is the General meaning trigger word

And the word on the bottom right is the Alternative meaning trigger word
This is the case not just on the Major Arcana (Court) Cards but also on all
56 of the Minor Arcana and unlike many Tarot packs the name of the Card
is displayed across the bottom of all of the Minor Arcana Cards and not
just the Major cards as is usually the norm,
Combined, these things along with the built in hidden secrets which enable
some amazing Mentalism Style Routines to be performed including
Drawing Duplications and seemingly being able to reveal a word merely
thought of by a volunteer among other things possible with this versatile
deck make it a must buy in my opinion for any Psychic Reader, Consultant
and/or Entertainer.
Indeed the deck is supplied with a Duplicate “World” card that does not
have words on it in the four corners along with a Blank Faced Card and a
book giving numerous ideas of how these can be used to create incredibly
powerful looks like the real thing routines based on the Dual Reality
Principles & work pioneered by the likes of Kenton Knepper & Peter
Turner.
And that’s without considering the very real fact that the S.A.G.A.
memory system will help even the experienced reader to give readings in a
far easier, more free flowing, more highly creative and ultimately more
unique and accurate manner than ever before to all of their clients.
There are many so called Card Tricks which can be performed with Tarot
Cards and that when they are look like the real things rather than a card
trick thanks to the use of the Tarot Cards.
In that regards I would advise you to seek out a copy of “The Annotated
Royal Road to Card Magic” by Mark Lewis and start out by learning
“Pokers Player Picnic” which is in chapter one as when used with Tarot
Cards to have a female volunteer find say all four Queens in the pack it
looks truly amazing.
There are also many other routines within that book which can easily be
adapted for use with Tarot Cards as well.
One of my favourite routines of all times is the one you can see me
performing here on stage using Jumbo ESP Cards, for smaller close-up
performances I tend to use Tarot Cards for this as the word Tarot has the
same number of letters as the word Cards.
Watch the video https://youtu.be/kcZZq_jIVxE

The explanation is within the videos on page 41 of this book but basically
if you do what I do in the way that I do it this routine is pretty much
automatic and self-working.
Incidentally on page 292 of this book you will find links to 2 videos called
“Psychic Secrets” within which you will learn more about my memory
system for remembering the meanings of and reading the Tarot.

RUNE LAY-OUTS & TAROT SPREADS
The most basic of Rune Lay-Outs or Tarot Spreads is to simply have 3

Runes or 3 Tarot Cards selected and to place these down in a row of 3 so
that card one represents the Past, the centre card the Present and the final
card the Future.
There are many other options of how a 3 Card or 3 Rune Spread or Lay-
Out as they can also be called can be interpreted and some examples
include:
Body – Mind – Soul
Subconscious – Conscious – Superconscious/Deity
Who Am I? – What do I need? – How Will I get it?

You can also of course create your own meanings for the Fixed positions
of any Rune or Tarot Spread you may wish to use when doing readings.
The Horoscope spread is one whereby 12 cards are selected and placed
into a circle.
The first card selected being representative of the month following that
within which the reading is taking place.
Then each card in turn after that representing the next month in the year so
that in total the 12 cards each represent one of the 12 months of the next
year following the month within which the actual reading is taking place
for the client.
Personally, this is the spread that I tend to use towards the end of my
readings after having already used the Celtic Cross an explanation of
which follows shortly courtesy of my friend & colleague Stuart “Harrizon”
Cassels.
You could also this spread to determine where the Querent stands in the
universe by attributing the following meanings to each of the 12 positions.
Card 1—Aries. “I am”. Personality/attitudes.
Card 2—Taurus. “I have”. Financial/material matters.
Card 3—Gemini. “I think”. Communication.
Card 4—Cancer. “I feel, I sense” Home/family.
Card 5—Leo. “I will, I create”. Pleasures/leisure.
Card 6—Virgo. “I analyze”. Work/responsibilities.

Card 7—Libra. “I balance”. Close partnership & working relationships.
Card 8—Scorpio. “I desire, I change”. Hidden influences, sexuality &

psychic awareness.
Card 9—Sagittarius. “I seek, I see”. Religion/philosophy.
Card 10—Capricorn. “I use, I organize”. Career/ambitions, self-esteem.
Card 11—Aquarius. “I know, I solve”. Social life, hopes and wishes.
Card 12—Pisces. “I perceive”. Subconscious, strengths/weaknesses.
A 13th card may be placed in the middle to set the tone of the overall
spread.
—OR—
A 0th card can be pulled out of the deck intentionally before dealing the
other 12 cards so that all of them reflect that chosen aspect of the Querent.
Another Option is the 10 Card Pyramid Spread which looks like this:
The Positional meanings in the 10 Card Pyramid Spread are:
Top Card: Signifier or Representative of Current Life
Second Row: Two cards represent life lessons learned from parents,
teachers, past experiences, etc.
Third Row: Three cards reflect current influences, beliefs, actions based
on lessons learned thus far in life.
Fourth Row: The four foundation cards of the pyramid are indicators of
how things are going (smoothly, rough, or otherwise) and offer glimpses
into future life lessons.
THE KEY TO ALL TAROT SPREADS & RUNE LAYOUTS
As Vincent Pitisci so lucidly explains in his wonderful books, the positions

in the Tarot/Rune Spread/Layouts are Fixed and have a fixed meaning in
each reading given whereas the actual meaning of the Rune or the Tarot
Card selected by the client to be placed into each particular position will
change each time a reading is given.
The Key to success therefore as explained by Pitisci in his books is to use
Conceptual Blending to blend together the meaning of the Fixed Position
in the Spread with the variable asset meaning provided by the Rune Stone
or Tarot Card Selected.
Then the techniques of Mind Mapping & Free Association are used to
generate other associated ideas which can be weaved into the story that the
reader creates from all the cards or Runes they see before them.
These insights into how Tarot & Rune Readings truly work, including also
getting a set of Story Dice and practising how to blend together the
random results generated into a coherent realistic sounding story are
discussed further in another chapter within this book.
Sincere thanks to Stuart “Harrizon” Cassels for kindly contributing his
memory system for using the Celtic Cross Spread which of course can be
used both with Tarot Cards and/or Rune Stones.

Telling for Fun & Profit” whereby Stuart explains several Spreads and
Layouts that can be used with both Runes or Tarot Card Readings.

I’ll bring this chapter to an end with some Invaluable Example Readings
which Stuart “Harrizon” Cassels who is also Known as the “Tik Tok Tarot
Reader” has kindly contributed.
These include video readings that he has done for customers who have
paid him after seeing the regular daily videos he posts on his Tik Tok
Channel located at https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.harrizon
It is heart warming to see that at the time of writing in September 2020,
Stuart who originally learnt his skills from studying my videos, books and
attending live seminars currently has 14,500 followers on Tik Tok and has
many videos that have been watched literally hundreds of thousands of
times leading to bookings for regular paid readings from his website.
As well as some examples of video readings recorded for paying clients
generated by his ever growing channel on Tik Tok, he has also kindly
contributed access to listen to some readings given at busy Trade Shows
and also at Private House Parties so you can get a real insight into real
readings that people have paid for and received from a Professional
Fortune Teller and Psychic Consultant.
Indeed I truly believe that studying as many real world readings given by a
fellow Professional like Stuart is invaluable and with that in mind I would
recommend that you contact him via email and ask for details of his
“Example Tarot Readings Bumper Package” which will give you
access to many hours and hours of both video and audio recordings of
actual readings given to real people in the real world of Online Readings,
Trade Shows and Private House Parties.
Email him today on - enquiries@fortunetellingacademy.com

Mention this book and I know he will also offer you a big discount on
what is a truly comprehensive and invaluable resource & learning package.
Before I leave you with the links to the example readings, I just want to
mention an excellent ploy that Mark Lewis reveals in his “Tarot Reading
for Entertainment” DVD available from International Magic and also
directly from Mark whose contact details are elsewhere in this book.
This is that just before he does a Celtic Cross spread he will pull out 4
cards from the deck, if it’s a younger female these will be the 4 Pages, for
a younger male the four Knights, for an older female the 4 Queens and of
course for an older male the 4 Kings.
He then explains to the client that Pentacles or Coins represent money
matters & materialistic things, Cups are mainly related to relationship
matters and affairs of the heart, Wands to Social Interactions, Friendships
and Work and finally Swords to Communications, Conflicts and such like.
Then quite blatantly and directly he will tell the client that they need to
choose one of these cards to represent themselves in the next Tarot Spread
and that ideally they should select the one that most closely is associated
with the main issue/s that they wish the cards to resonate towards and give
answers to during the next part of the reading.
Therefore when they hand you one of the cards you immediately know
pretty much what the subject matter is of that which is bothering them
most and which they desire the Runes or Tarot Cards to reveal answers,
insights and wisdom to within the next part of the reading.
This may seem incredibly cheeky and bold but I have also used the same
technique for decades and can attest to how powerful it is as by the end of
the reading the client usually has forgotten that this ever took place.
The selected card is then placed on the table so that it ends up being
underneath the first two cards in the Celtic Cross spread meaning that
when doing the Celtic Cross myself and Mark end up using 11 Cards as we
have the usual 10 from the Celtic Cross and the extra one provided from
the process just detailed which also in turn indicates what we should
concentrate on talking about in the next part of the reading.
The Selected card is placed onto the table as we say:
“This Card represents you”
then as next 2 cards are placed over this we say
“This Card Covers You and this Card Crosses You”
We then say
This card Crowns You and this one underscores you.
(This is said as card is placed above and below the 3 already there on
table)
This represents what is behind you & this is what is in front of you.
(This is said as the cards are placed in front and behind those placed down
at start)
This card is you on your journey in life..
This is your Environment
This is your Goals, Dreams, Ambitions & Desires
And this is the final outcome..
(These being said as cards are placed into positions 7, 8, 9 & 10 of the
Celtic Cross Spread)
This way of getting into the Celtic Cross is also explained brilliantly in
Richard Websters Book “Tarot for Everybody”
I’ll leave you now for this chapter with the links to some example readings

GRAPHOLOGY
The Two best Open Eye books on the subject of giving readings with
Graphology are without doubt
Speed Learning Graphology by Julian Moore - www.coldreading.co
Reading Writing by Ariel Frailich - https://isawthat.com/shop/reading-

writing/
There is however a useful chapter on Graphology in Richard Websters

open eye book “Readings as Entertainment”
Graphology wise it is a simple matter to put small nail nick marks into
different areas of 5 Blank Business Cards and to hand these out to five
audience members who are all told to write the phrase TWO MAGPIES
onto them and then to sign their name below that phrase.
All the cards are then mixed up before being returned to at which point
you give a short interpretation of the writing of the phrase and their
signature for each of the cards using the information taught by Julian
Moore in his Speed Learning Graphology book before handing each of the
cards back to the people you claim have been indicated by their hand
writing traits to have been the writer of that card.
Needless to say thanks to the nail nick marks on each card indicating to
whom it belongs you are proven to be 100% correct.

GEMSTONE & COLOUR READINGS
By far one of the easiest ways to include Gemstone & Colour Readings
into your work is to use one of the methods described by the Legendary
Richard Webster on pages 71 to 81 of his book for the general public
entitled “Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Divination”
In essence he points out that each letter of the Alphabet has a number from
1 through to 9 Just as it does in Numerology as shown in this chart.
And each number is associated to a Colour as shown on the chart you can
find on page 84 of this book which shows that the associated colours for
each of the numbers is as follows…
1 – Red 2 – Orange 3 – Yellow 4 – Green 5 – Blue
6 – Indigo 7 – Violet 8 – Rose/Pink 9 – Bronze
The only difference with the associated colours in the system in

“Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Divination” is that for number 9 the
associated colour is changed to GOLD.
Therefore, the associated colours for each of the numbers now looks like
this…
6 – Indigo 7 – Violet 8 – Rose/Pink 9 – Gold
The idea is for you to take the persons first and last name and convert it
into Colours and/or Gemstones…
For example my name JONATHAN ROYLE converts into the numbers
J–O–N–A–T–H–A–N R–O–Y–L–E
1 6 5 1 2 8 1 5 9 6 7 3 5
Broken down into which numbers appear my name gives us..
1 = Three numbers One’s = 3 Reds
2 = One Number Two = 1 Orange
3 = One Number Three = 3 Yellow
4 = NO NUMBER FOURS = 0 Green
5 = Three Number Five’s = 3 Blues
6 = Two Number Sixes = 2 Indigos

7 = One Number Seven = 1 Violet
8 = One Number Eight = 1 Rose/Pink
9 = One Number Nine = 1 Gold
6 – Indigo 7 – Violet 8 – Rose/Pink 9 – Gold
There is a brief meaning to the colours on page 85 of this book and there
are also some charts showing the meaning of colours and gemstones of
various colours on the pages that follow.
Obviously the more of one particular Gem or Colour that the person has
the more strongly that particular area is indicated and amplified, whereas
the less there are the weaker the indication is to the point of there being
none for a certain number & colour where it is an indication of lacking in
that particular area.
Between them and this name to numbers to colours & gemstones system
you should be able to generate enough Key Words, Memory Aids and
Associated Triggers to be able to give a good reading.
Any numbers which do not appear in the persons name and thus do not
produce any of that colour or gemstone are to be seen as indications of the
type of gemstones and/or colours the person should ideally wear in some
manner to help create more balance and harmony in their life.
The other option is to add say a Tenth “Wild Card” colour and Gemstone
maybe such as Black so that you have a selection of 10 different coloured
Gemstones in total.
Indeed as Richard Webster briefly explains in his book “Llewellyn’s
Complete Book of Divination” our mutual friend the Late Brian Howard
aka Hobrin Master of the Tarot devised his own Gemstone reading system
whereby he had a total of One Hundred Gemstones made up of ten of each
of the ten colours.
He would have these laid out in rows of ten on a nice tray and would ask
the person he was reading for to pick up one of the stones and hand it to
him for position 1.
This would then be repeated for the next nine positions with a total of 10
stones having been handed to Brian who would then interpret them using a
Fixed Positions meaning system of:
1 = Character of the Client
2 = The Present Time
3 = Health & Future Prospects

The meanings he has given to each of the positions is pretty much the
same as that he gives to the positions in a 10 Card Tarot Reading as
explained in his ebooks on the subject which I purchased the Legal Resale
Rights to many years ago after having already purchased the rights to the
APSH Stage Hypnosis & APHP Hypnotherapy Courses that Brain had
originally put together in the late 1980’s.
His Gemstone Reading system is explained in full depth with excellent
examples of how to actually give detailed readings for each of the
gemstones chosen in the wonderful book “Gemstone Reading for Profit”
by Hobrin which is published by Richard Webster and available from:
And the ebooks of his other Reading Systems & Cold Reading techniques
are available directly from me as follows:
The Talking Tarot by Brian Howard aka Hobrin.

For the record all 3 of the above titles which you would be well advised to
study are included inside the members area of my “Elite Hypnosis
Bootcamp” of which you will find more details later on in this book.
There are many online retailers for Gemstones but in the past when I have
needed them I have personally used https://beadage.net/ who have kindly
allowed one of their interpretation charts to be reproduced herein.
DENROGRAPHOLOGY
PSYCHIC TREE READING
There are only 2 things you need to become a Master at giving Tree
Readings and that is the DVD entitled “Draw Me a Tree and I’ll tell you
about yourself” by Rudy T Hunter and also the book “Doodle Me A Tree”
by Andy Fisher.
When you have studied those two resources you will find that the
Dendrography Psychic Tree Reading Tick Sheet shown on the next few
pages will then make perfect sense to you and you will understand which
bits to tick based on what elements you see your client has or has not
included within their Tree Drawing.
Mentalism wise it strikes me that although you would be asking everyone

to draw a Tree as they all will draw a Tree in a different way you could do
a version of Larry Beckers “Sneak Thief” which is detailed in his book
“Stunners Plus” as ultimately it would still be seen as impressive giving
the Trees back to the right people after having given a short reading for
each of them and then having it confirmed that the right person got given
the correct picture and then at the end being able to draw in almost exactly
the same manner and design a Tree that looks almost identical to the last
remaining, as yet unseen by you Tree Picture.

CLAIRVOYANCE
In my honest opinion, the best peek wallet by far for use in 1 to 1

readings is the one supplied as part of the Ultimate Networking Tool
by Jeff Kaylor and Anton James by Kaylor Productions which is
available from most major online Magic Dealers and at the time of
writing this (September 2020) can be purchased for around Ten
Pounds Sterling.
Should you wish an alternative to a peek wallet or just desire a way to
be able to apparently let your client sit down write the question they
want answered down and then place it into an envelope which they
keep hold of and actually take away with them at the end of the
reading without you ever having seemingly touched it in any manner
then you need to check out AWEC by Andreas Sebring.
AWEC stands for Andreas Window Envelope Clean Up and is
detailed in the book that comes with his SAGA Tarot package but is
also taught in his ebook “Psychic Readings” which is available from
his site here https://www.metalwriting.com/psychic-readings-e-
book.html
One of the best books on apparently contacting the dead is my very

own “The Psychic Secrets of Alex-Le-Roy” which can be purchased
from https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/1eRX/ or is part of the
bumper package I will tell you more about later in this book.
Although there is much to be learnt about how to give Spiritualist

Medium and Clairvoyant type readings in the package called “The
Private Medium & Fortune Tellers Secret Psychic Cold Reading Note
Books” from https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/g9Jr/
You would also be wise to make a study of the books “Reader of

Minds”, “Pure Q & A” and “How to be a Successful Medium” all of
which were written by my friend & colleague Paul Voodini and are
available from most major magic dealers.
From a shut eye perspective but still full of very useful information
for us Open Eyes is a very eye opening book by my friend and
colleague John Richardson entitled “Mediumship: The Only
Instruction You Need to Reignite Your Natural Inborn Ability” which
also credits his Late Aunt Ida Pimm as one of the authors.
You can buy copies from many book stores or directly from John by
contacting him via http://john-richardson.co.uk/
UNIVERSAL STOCK READINGS
In regards to “Stock Readings” and Cold Reading lines that seem

accurate to most people my first recommendation is to take a look at
“The James Bond Cold Reading” by Julian Moore which is available
from https://www.coldreading.co/
There are also some excellent examples of full length Stock Readings
and also useful lines within Ian Rowland’s book “The Full Facts Book
of Cold Reading”
If you can find a copy of it, then a study of Herb Dewey’s books
“Psycho-Babble”, “King of the Cold Readers” and “Red Hot Cold
Reading” are all worthy of your close attention.
And on Amazon you can easily obtain a copy of “The Master Book of
Mark Lewis Stock Palm Readings” and also “The Master Book of
Mark Lewis Stock Tarot Readings” both by Mark Lewis and both
which are full of excellent patter lines and approaches to weave into
your readings.
Towards the end of 2019 Ian Rowland released an excellent new book
called “Super Psychic Readings” which explains what to say and
when & how to say it during a reading and along with Ian’s book
“The Full Facts of Cold Reading” it can be obtained from his site here
https://www.coldreadingsuccess.com/books
Finally I would also recommend tracking a down a copy of the Two

CD Set “Completely Cold – Live and Expanded” by Kenton Knepper
and you may also want to check out some of Kenton’s other works on
giving readings of all kinds at https://www.wonderwizards.com/
The image above is of a shut eye book available to the general public
which is the original book that led to the Craze of companies using
the “Myers Briggs Personality Tests” as part of their recruitment
process some years ago.
Since then many have argued that there is no proof or real basis for
the results given by the Myer’s Briggs personality tests or indeed for
many other styles of personality tests that are in common use.
With that said I do feel that this book is worth a study for any
potential Psychic Reader as I believe that with a little thought you
could put together a very short questionnaire for the client, which
when answered at the start of the reading (or even before they have
the reading and then it’s returned to you by email maybe?) would
enable you to classify what their “Myers Briggs” Personality Profile
is and then in turn this would give you a firm foundation on which to
tell them all about their personality, the jobs they are most ideally
suited to and a whole bunch of other things that will make you in their
minds stand out as a truly accurate “Genuine Psychic” talent!
Now I don’t want to sound too cynical, but it seems having looked
around the internet that I am not the only one who feels that once the
persons Myers Briggs Personality Profile has been calculated that
what the book states about them is written in very much the style of
Forer Statements and just as with the Barnum Effect, arguably many
indeed I feel the majority could apply to most anyone & everyone.
However that still makes it a worthwhile area of study as at the very
least it gives you a whole host of “Stock Reading” lines and
statements that could apply in most cases to almost anyone and in the
best case scenario it gives you a truly accurate Personality Profiling
tool to add to your arsenal.
The next couple of pages contain images that will make far more
sense to you when you have read the book “Gifts Differing –
Understanding Personality Types” by Isabel Briggs Myers & Peter B.
Myers which is available from all major bookstores.
Whilst you wait for your copy of that book to arrive you may wish to
take a look at these links:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers%E2%80%93Briggs_Type_I
ndicator
https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-
basics/

personality-test-meaningless
https://www.personalitycafe.com/threads/cold-reading-myers-
briggs.57848/
As I stated earlier, once you have read the book “Gifts Differing –
Understanding Personality Types” by Isabel Briggs Myers & Peter B.
Myers then the past 5 images will make far more sense to you.
The Book “Successful Hypnotherapy” by Neil French is also worth
tracking down as it contains insights into Freudian Personality Types
Assessment that actually makes sense and I have found have
relevance in the world of both Hypnotherapy & also Psychic Reading.
Once again once you have read The Book “Successful Hypnotherapy”
by Neil French those images will make far more sense to you.
In the meantime, however the following link provides some
wonderful insights not just into Freud’s (or as I prefer to call him
Sick-Mind Fraud’s) Personality types but also into other people’s
angles and approaches to the subject.
https://www.simplypsychology.org/personality-
theories.html#:~:text=Freud%20(1923)%20saw%20the%20perso
nality,and%20instinctive%20component%20of%20personality
Another most interesting book to study is “The Luscher Color Test”
by Max Luscher which uses Eight Coloured Cards.
The colour test begins by asking the participant to look at 8 different

coloured cards and then asking them to place the cards in order of
preference.
The colours used are divided into two groups of four, auxiliary
colours (violet, brown, grey and black) and basic colours (blue,
yellow, red and green).
Based on the colours’ order your personality traits are supposedly
revealed.
From the colours of the cards they pick this according to Max Luscher
and the information given in his book tells you a massive amount
about the person.
I love this approach as even if it is just a version of Barnum
Statements and the Forer Effect the idea of using 8 Coloured Cards
fits well at the beginning of a Psychic Consultation.
Some brief background on his approach whilst you order & wait for a
copy of the book to arrive can be seen at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BCscher_color_test
https://www.quill.com/blog/workplace-culture/what-is-the-
luscher-color-test-and-is-there-evidence-that-it-is-valid.html
It would also be worth your while to study the works of the people
mentioned in the above image for their insights into Personality Types
as collectively all of this study & information can only contribute
towards helping you to become a far better Psychic Reader.
I’ve mentioned Body Language elsewhere in this book and have
recommended a Video training package on the subject, however in
terms of learning to Analyse & Read people by sight I would also
recommend the following mass market books
Body Language: It's What You Don't Say That Matters by Robert
Phipps.
The Monographs by Ben Cardall.
What Every BODY is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-

Reading People by Joe Navarro.
People Watching: How to Take Control by Vernon Coleman by
Vernon Coleman.
How to Analyze People: Analyze & Read People with Human

Psychology, Body Language, and the 6 Human Needs by Michael
Draper.
Face Reading: Keys to Instant Character Analysis by Chi An Kuei.
Before we move onto the next chapter I would also like to remind you
that the book Passages by Gail Sheehy is also a must read book.
Indeed I am not the only person who writes about Cold Reading that
mentions this book as you can see at the following link where you
will find a wonderful introduction to Cold Reading.
https://www.magicalapparatus.com/cold-reading-4/an-
introduction-to-cold-reading.html?
Demographics & Psychographics along with Statistics are all things
worth researching on the internet.
In England we have the Office of National Statistics whose website
https://www.ons.gov.uk/ will give you tons of information that can
be used within Psychic Readings whereas at time of writing in USA
you can find American Data here https://www.usa.gov/statistics
Simply search phrases like “Age Demographics” or “sex
demographics” or “job demographics” or indeed any other similar
phrase you can think of to find tons of information that could prove
useful to weave within your Psychic Readings.
Also searching google with phrases like “Top 10 Hobbies in UK” or
anything similar you can think of and using of course your location in
the world or the location of the people you will be reading for will
produce a whole bunch of facts that can prove useful in readings also.
Now for this chapter I’ll end by mentioning that in my book “The
Psychic Secrets of Alex-Le-Roy” I go into great detail about how to
quickly use the internet to discover almost everything about a person
and their lives all by just having their name, email address and
perhaps some other bits of data all of which can easily be obtained
from them in an innocent logical manner at the time they make their
booking.
The book from https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/1eRX/ can be
bought with 50% off by entering the discount voucher code of
WIZARD in block capitals into the checkout.
You can also get it effectively for “Free” when you take advantage of
the majorly discounted opportunity to join my “Elite Hypnosis &
Mentalism Bootcamp” details of which you will find later in this
book.
THE MASTER KEY TO SUCCESS
However it won't hurt to have a few more tools and techniques on
your side and to that end here is the exact word for word script that I
use at the start of my readings when people sit down at my table at
Psychic Fairs or when they enter my office.
I'll explain the Psychology, Reasoning and Hidden Power behind it

mostly as we go along, and then will clarify a few points at the end.
However for now just imagine your name is Sharon and that you've
just sat down at my table for a reading....
“Well Hello There And Good Day to you my lovely, my names

Jonathan Royle”
(at which point I put my hand out to shake hers and then look her in
the face and remain silent for a second or two at which point she will
usually tell me what her name is and if she does I nod my head at her
as she does, if however she does not tell me her name then after a
couple of seconds I continue)
“And Your name is?”
(she responds in this example and says Sharon, and just as stated
before I stare into her eyes and nod as she says her name and then I
follow up with)
“Is that the name that you like your Close Family and Real Friends to
Call You?”
(If yes that is fine, but more often than not it will be a nickname or
shortened version of their name for example Shaz, that they now reply
with at which point I continue and say)
“So would it be OK if I call you Shaz during the reading as it will

help me to connect with your energies more easily?”
99.9% of the time they will reply Yes that is fine, at which point they
have just accepted you into the same Psychological circle of trust that
they already place their closest family and most trusted friends into
and so instantly their guard will be down and things become easy.
However should they say no, this also is valuable as it tells you that
it’s an awkward truly sceptical and untrusting person that you have in
front of you and that itself will help guide the reading, but as I say
99.9% of the time I find they always say Yes it’s OK to call them by
that name)
“OK That's Great Shaz, so Have you ever had your Tarot Cards Read
before?”
(Allow her to answer and stay quiet until she stops talking, seriously
often they will tell you everything you ever need to know to be able to
feed back to them later in the reader in a disguised manner that your
hard work is over at this point, but it all seems so innocent due to the
nature of the question and it seeming a logical thing to ask. Anyhow
she will either say Yes or No)
FOR NO= “Well Shaz, before we begin, I just want to let you know
that if the Death Card Appears, it does not mean you’re going to fall
off your chair and die, in actual fact it usually means the end of a
chapter in some area of your life and the opening of a new door and
opportunity for the future, OK?
”FOR YES= “That is great Shaz, in which case, I expect that you
already know that if the Death Card Appears, it does not mean you’re
going to fall off your chair and die, in actual fact it usually means the
end of a chapter in some area of your life and the opening of a new
door and opportunity for the future, OK?”
And then I continue:

“What I'd like you to do please Shaz, is to take the cards and give
them a mix or a shuffle, or cut them a few times, basically just mix
them around and mix them up so you know they are in a personal and
unique order just for you to help us with our reading today”
(She Starts to Mix The cards)
“Oh and Shaz, if there is any particular issue or area of life that you'd
particularly like to ask the Tarot about and gain insight to and answers
about, then PLEASE DON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD TO ME, but
rather just think about it as you mix the cards and let your energies
flow into the cards”
She will mix and think, but more often than not start telling you stuff
here despite the fact you told her not to! When this happens, let her
tell you the key points and then stop her boldly saying PLEASE
SHAZ I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE BUT DON'T TELL ME
JUST MENTALLY ASK THE CARDS.
She will forget ever telling you these things by the end of the reading.
If she does not say anything be sure to keep an eye on her lips more
than I care to remember the people will speak to themselves as if
whispering the question and you can often make it out, which they
will never be aware of or remember.
I then continue
“Great Shaz, so in a moment I'd like you to take 13 cards out of the
Tarot Deck from anywhere you feel drawn towards and then place
them face down on top of each other in a pile here on the table”
(I point to spot on the table)
“As that way we know the card on the bottom of the pile is the first
one you were drawn to Shaz”“Oh and be sure to have any particular
question or issue in mind as you select the cards you are drawn
towards”
(she will take 13 cards and do as instructed, I then continue by saying)
“Right Shaz, I'm about to explain to you what each of these cards is
meant to mean, in other words I'll briefly tell you individually card by
card, what most of the books would tell you each of these 13 cards
mean and then I will more importantly explain how they uniquely and
personally interconnect for you Shaz, is that OK?”
(As I am saying the patter above, I deal the cards into 3 rows of 4, so
the top 4 cards are closest to me, the next 4 go in the middle, next 4
closet to the person having the reading and the odd 13th Card is set off
to one side, I'll come back to this later)
“So Shaz, Please Remember NOT to Tell me anything, I'd sooner go

through all the cards and tell you what they mean, then how they
uniquely connect and what they personally mean for you, then at the
very end, then and only then I will ask you if any or ALL OF IT
MAKES SENSE, and at that point we'll find out if your questions
have been answered by the Tarot Or not, does that make sense?”
(She will answer Yes, they always do, oh and hypnotically this
sentence has the embedded command that ALL OF IT MAKES
SENSE and also contains the law of reversed effort suggestion of
NOT thus meaning the harder they try not to tell you stuff, the more
likely they are to do so without even realising it)
“However Shaz, if as occasionally happens something confuses me or

I'm not picking up on the energies strongly enough, then I may ask
you a direct question, but it will be one that can be answered YES or
NO, and should I do so, then please just answer YES or NO, I don't
want any clues and I don't want anybody thinking that you told me
everything! OK Shaz, does that all make Sense?”
(She will say Yes, Yet Again, they always do)

Right at this point things are stacked in your favour, so lets clarify a
few other things. In the information above the 4 cards laid closest to
client I refer to as being Past, the Middle ones Present and those
closet to me Future, with the extra 13th card set to one side being an
indicator card that will help tie everything together and make sense of
it all.
With that in mind there are 13 cards on the table so using the memory
system in the audio earlier, you can easily talk for anywhere from
around 6 ½ minutes (30 Seconds a card) up to 26 minutes (2 minutes
a card), just by telling them what each individual card means by way
of the memory system triggers which will prompt off ideas in your
head of what to say and also by describing to them the things you saw
in the cards when doing the Tarot Card Meditation I spoke of earlier.
Whilst doing this I am at all times paying attention to their body

language looking out for them nodding their head (yes) or shaking it
(no) and also looking for them fidgeting as if something I just said has
related to something that made them feel uneasy.
In short observe and then later you can say what you see and what
you saw, more often than not what you picked up on will be correct.
This observation and also listening out for noises of recognition will
usually give you all you need for the rest of the reading where you tie
it all together and then recap emphasising the Facts and stuff that
really resonated and made sense to them and seemed real accurate by
the responses they give you.
I say by the responses they give you, as always without fail, at this
stage when I've explained what each of the cards mean, I start to
weave a story of how they link together with each other, and without
fail I will part way through after having said a few things suddenly
stop, pause, look her in the eye and say
“Shaz, I'm feeling really odd energies, a kind of confusion, is some of

this making sense to you Shaz?”
Yes its a blatant question, but she will either come back and tell you
why its making sense or why its not, if she just says Yes you know
your on the right track, if however she just says no you can respond,
“Umm I didn’t so much mean what the cards are telling me Shaz, as
more would a sense of confusion about the question or issue you had
in mind make any sense to you right now?”
This prompts her to open up and talk, giving valuable clues away
about where to guide the reading as you then go back to explain how
all the cards interconnect with each other in a personal and unique
way for her.
At the apparent end of the reading, having fed back to her the things
I've picked up on from her Verbal and Non Verbal Reactions to what I
have been saying and also those things that my observation and
common sense of for example what she is wearing, what names are
visible on any Tattoos or Jewellery and all the usual things of that
nature, I will then say:
“So does that all make sense to you Shaz?”
(She has to say Yes as prior to asking the question at this point all I
have done is tell her things which I have already established are right)
“And with that in mind before we end for today, is there any other
specific question you'd like to ask the cards”
(If she says NO you've done a killer reading and job, however many
times they will have just one more question and when they do I
continue and say)
“OK Shaz, well as we're running out of time, please just state out loud
what that question or issue is that you want advice from the cards for
and select 3 cards as you do so”
(She says it out loud and picks 3 cards, at which point I answer using
common sense and in a manner that will make her feel positive and
upbeat)
Now I know some of you will be thinking, that will never work,
they'll never fall for that, but honestly I've been doing readings since
1989, and I regularly was getting rebooked by the same people time
and time again when I choose to concentrate on this field.
They sent bookings galore my way through word of mouth and

always insisted to their friends that THEY NEVER TOLD ME
ANYTHING.
Indeed they often insist on making the point that I TOLD THEM TO
TELL ME NOTHING AND NOT GIVE ME ANY CLUES.
And as the vast majority of Psychics don't say a statement such as

that, especially not with the built in psychological wording, which
basically is such that the way things are worded makes them more
likely to want to tell you as you've told them not to!
Oh and another secret, read the above again and you'll notice that
right at the start I stare directly into her eyes, go silent and extend my
hand to shake hers, this is unexpected by her, and thus arguably,
immediately induces a light trance state, it what they call a pattern
interrupt.
From that moment on I tend to talk in a Hypnotic Tone of Voice and

stare directly into her eyes whenever talking, or at least it seems that
way, in truth I am staring at the bridge of her nose so she will always
be the first one to break eye contact.
Oh and when you read it all again, pay attention to how often I steer
things so she has to say YES which gets her into a “Yes Set” state of
mind and more likely to open up and positively reconstruct reality in
your favour.
Then at the end of the reading when I am feeding back all the stuff I
have established to be true, accurate and correct, I will vary my tone
of voice and become more upbeat and louder in tone of voice...
Some would argue this awakens her from the trance and embeds only
the positive information into her mind, thus eliminating any memory
of the clever questioning that actually did take place.
However this is not a book on Hypnosis, although honestly I would

advise anyone wishing to become a more powerful and successful
Psychic Reader to learn Hypnosis and to that end may I suggest you
search my name Jonathan Royle on your local magic dealers website?
Another Ploy I will use most every time I do a reading is to part way
into the reading, go silent for a minute or two and stare intently at all
the cards, picking some up for a closer look and making the odd
“umm ha ha” kind of noises to give the impression that something is
starting to make more sense to me.
After having done this for a minute or so (which seems much longer
and builds up the clients expectations) I will then say something such
as:
“Wow Shaz, you know sometimes when I am doing readings,

sometimes I truly hope that I am wrong in what I am seeing in the
cards and what I am sensing that they truly mean to you, as to be
honest I'd sooner be seeing or sensing things wrong than it to be true
that you've had this situation going round you! Does that Make Sense
Shaz?”
(When I was staring at all the cards I will have been conjuring up a
story in my mind of a nature that is perceptively negative, ready to
relate it to the client after I have delivered the above line which she
will most likely react to in a manner that will give me tons of
information (either verbally or non verbally) to have a real good idea
of any negative stuff that may have been going on or that she fears
may be about to go on)
“So with that in mind Shaz, as I say I hope I'm wrong with this, as to
be honest I'm not entirely sure as there is a sense of confusion as to
whether this is directly related to you, or is more a message relevant
to somebody who is close to you –does that make sense?”
(You now just given yourself the perfect out and escape route)
*At this point I relate the story I have made up in my head based on
weaving a story together based on the meanings of each of the cards,
at all times looking out for nods or shakes of the head so I can steer
off or stay on track as needed.
*More often than not you'll get amazing results and tons of hits that
will even surprise you, but if for some reason the client does not make
sense of it then you can always say:
“Well Shaz, I did say I hoped I was wrong, so I am relieved its not
making direct sense to you, but to be honest the feelings I am getting
are growing much stronger so I am not going to take back or change
anything I have said based on what I can see and feel, actually its
becoming more clear to me now, that this is more of a message to
keep your eyes and ears open around close family and friends as this
is going to be relevant in the near future to one of them and you'll find
unexpectedly that your one of the main keys in helping them to
overcome all of this successfully! Does that make sense Shaz?”
You'll find more often than not though, that you'll be more accurate
and on target than you could possibly ever imagine!
Finally and In closing, please allow me to remind you that we are all
BASICALLY THE SAME AS HUMAN BEINGS..
(although we all pretty much want to believe and feel we are different
and unique)
THE KEYS TO PSYCHIC SUCCESS
As is well known within the Psychotherapy world “We are all

products of our environment” or to be more accurate:
“We are all products of our environment, unless we are given the
tools and opportunities to positively expand beyond the confines
of our direct environment”
You see to function Positively, Happily and Harmoniously in life (on

all levels) we need to as human beings (especially as we are growing
up) to feel:
Loved –Wanted –Needed –Appreciated –Cared For –Cherished

and Valued
If there is a lacking of or disruption in any of those 7 Positive Pillars

then it will most likely lead to that individual suffering a negative
impact on their:
Self-Confidence, Self-Esteem, Self-Image and/or Self-Control

(Willpower)
And sadly when there is a disruption or negative impact on one or

more of those 4 vitally important Foundations of “Self-Worth” then
this can and often does regretfully lead to the individual feeling…
Negativity, Trapped, Worthless, Like A Failure, Angry,

Resentful, Frightened,
And even more depressing is the very real fact that when one or more
of those 7 Negative Pillars is in place that it can often lead in one or
more ways to the individual going into
SELF-DESTRUCT MODE
And that combined with negative environmental factors can be the

straw that breaks the camels back so to speak and can lead to a
downward spiral which could include things as extreme as them
turning to a life of:
Crime, Self-Harming, Drugs, Alcoholism, Domestic Violence,

Prostitution, Homelessness or even worse in extreme cases Suicide…
These are most always destructive behaviours and actions that

manifest themselves either as an extreme reaction to or negative result
of the Emotional impact of what has been going on in and/or lacking
in their life’s.
Often for example Youngsters can get involved with a “bad crowd” as
this gives them a sense of belonging and despite the negative
consequences of such “gang culture” can help to fulfil the gaps they
may feel inwardly in those 7 Positive Pillars and those 4 vitally
important Foundations of “Self-Worth” which I mentioned earlier.
And once the downward spiral starts it can and often does lead to a
lifetime of destruction which negatively impacts not just the
individual, but also their family, friends and even often many
members of the community as a whole (in the instances of crime etc)
HOWEVER THERE IS A WAY WE CAN HELP STOP THIS

HAPPENING
But the great news is that when an individual is helped to discover

ways to expand their horizons, try new things, gain a sense of
achievement, given a chance to grow as a person and starts to realize
that there are better options available for them and that a brighter
future is a possibility for them then this can work wonders in helping
them to positively impact and develop their:
(Willpower)
And when they grow in these areas, the 4 vitally important

Foundations of “Self-Worth” they can then start to feel a sense of:
Positivity, Personal Freedom, Positive Self-Worth, Success,

Courage, Achievement, Happiness
And perhaps not surprisingly as a positive side effect of these

beneficial changes they will finally be able to learn to LOVE
THEMSELVES and of course gain SELF-RESPECT
This can lead to a whole new perspective and positive approach to

life, can help the individual to gain a whole new positive support and
positive social network and so ultimately can also lead them in the
long term to a more Positive Environment and thus consequently
help them to gain the 7 Positive Pillars in their life’s of positively
feeling:

and Valued
Now fortunately for the majority of people, a lacking in one or more

of the Positive Pillars does not usually lead to such negative results as
the few examples given earlier, however it is my experience that this
is always without doubt or exception the Ultimate under lying reason
and cause that people develop Bad Habits, Addictions and other
personally Negative and also Self Destructive Behaviours.
A lack or imbalance in one or more of the Seven Positive Pillars will

always in some way lead to some kind of less than beneficial
behaviour and/or thought patterns and thus it is true to say that a
lacking or imbalance in one of these area’s starts to lead the person
away from Pleasure and sets them on the road towards Pain.
Therefore it is also true to note that doing therapeutic work in order to
enable the lacking or imbalances in those areas to be eliminated so
that the person feels fully 100% Positive and Complete in the areas
of:

(Willpower)
Will then ultimately mean that any previous lacking or imbalances in

the following Seven Positive Pillars will set themselves right and thus
enable the person to be the Perfect Them:

and Valued
In a nutshell it is my belief and experience that when you consider the

above and put things right in those areas that everything else will fall
positively and permanently into place for your clients.
If you think deeply about this, you will, I am sure also realise that
offering a person the chance to be the centre of attention and creating
an On Stage environment where they feel:

and Valued
Is also the True Key Motivating Secret of how and why a Successful
Stage Hypnosis show works and when you bear this in mind I am sure
your shows will become more successful, just as your results with
therapy sessions and Psychic Readings will also.
To fully understand this further consider that one end of the scale is
Pain (lacking or imbalances in these areas) and the other end of the
scale is Pleasure (balance and completeness in these areas) and then
consider when reading about “Pain and Pleasure” therapy later in this
book in my section about Complete Mind Therapy how this can be
used to so easily help the client to make changes in their life, or with a
little thought to make your Stage Hypnosis Shows more successful
than you may ever have thought possible.
Consider that the negative end of this scale can also be called “Out of
Control” and the positive end termed “Self-Control” and perhaps
things become even clearer for you?
And then consider that the negative end can be termed as “Trapped”
and the Positive end as “Freedom” Or indeed it could be “Unhappy or
Depressed” at the Negative End and HAPPY & JOYFUL at the
positive end.
In all cases however the route from one end of the scale to the other is
through and by dealing with the personal attributes and feelings that I
have repeated several times during this introduction.
And now I have to say that without doubt to understand this fully and
the sheer possibilities of what I have just taught you, right now you
would be wise to go on Amazon and order a copy of the excellent
book Psycho-Cybernetics, A New Way to Get More Living Out of
Life by Maxwell Maltz.
Also consider that in life FAILURE occurs because of:
F–rustration
A–ggressiveness
I–nsecurity
L –oneliness
U–ncertainty
R–esentment
E–mptiness
And as you should by now realise all of those things relate back to
what I have discussed already. Then at the other end of the scale
SUCCESS in life occurs due to the following:
S–ense of direction
U–nderstanding
C–ourage
C-almness
E–steem
S–elf –Confidence
S–elf -Acceptance
Again I am sure you can see how that all relates back to the Positive
Pillars I mentioned before.
Read Psycho-Cybernetics, A New Way to Get More Living Out of

Life by Maxwell Maltz and consider it in light of what I have
discussed in this opening introduction and I feel certain that on all
levels you will become a far better Psychic Reader and Counsellor.
Another invaluable book to read is Passages by Gail Sheehy which is

available from Amazon and an understanding of which combined
with a consideration and knowledge of what I have shared here will
help make you a truly amazing reader.
Before I go remember T.H.E S.C.A.M which Herb Dewey referred

to in his Classic and wonderful books on Cold Reading...
It of course stands for Travel, Health, Education (or expectations),

Sex, Career, Ambitions, Money And if you make sure to talk about
those areas of the life of the people who come to you for readings,
your sure to get many hits every time.
Indeed In his book “Psycho Babble” Herb Dewey has another great
memory aid and advises you to remember the phrase: THE IDES OF
MARCH
In turn this helps you remember the initials of each word, namely I,
M, A, R, C, H
And then that should remind you that the things all people who have
readings want to hear about are related to:
*Intelligence and Emotions
*Money
*Appearance
*Romance
*Career
*Health
Another good memory aid is on the Deceptionary Cold Reading

Resources site https://www.deceptionary.com/aboutreading.html
From that page I quote:
I offer my own simple mnemonic — “MR CHEAT” — for remembering the seven principal
psychic reading topics. Of course, not all topics need be visited in a single reading
(bearing in mind that the initial four are the most important).
Money (income, investments, possessions)

Relationships (love, sex, partnerships, family, responsibilities)
Career (changes, advancement, business, hobbies, other work)
Health (status, influences)
Education (learning opportunities)
Aspirations (ambitions, expectations, dreams)
Travel (journeys, revisiting past)
Concentrate on those areas and bear in mind how people are

essentially all the same and you'll find it easy to give detailed
readings,
I often find myself thinking of someone I know who the person

having the reading before me reminds me of and then I simply just
describe what is going on in their life’s and what advice I would give
them, you'd be amazed how often (indeed the vast majority of the
time) this brings mega hits!
Indeed finding out the persons Astrological or Star Sign and then
thinking of a friend or family member or someone else you know who
has that same star sign makes things even easier.
Just describe the person you know with that Star Sign, describe what
is going on in that persons life and how they handled it etc, and don't
be surprised when you get hit after hit, and prove how much the same
we all are.

MAKING PREDICTIONS & HOW TO
TURN MISSES INTO HIT’S
I shall start this chapter by reproducing a section from my book about

Psychic Belly Button Reading aka Navel-Gazing as although it is
about that subject, the truth is most all of the information and advice
that follows applies equally to all other forms of Fortune Telling &
Divination Systems from Tarot & Runes on the one hand through to
Graphology & Numerology and indeed everything else in between.
NAVEL-GAZING COLD READING
Well Fellow entertainer as you’ve probably guessed already the main

secret of Navel-Gazing is Cold-Reading!
However a few things are very much in your favour with Navel-
Gazing which are not with other forms of Psychic Readings and these
are as follows:
01) Navel-Gazing is used by me only Live on TV/Radio shows and

on Stage or for use in Newspaper, Magazine or Internet articles about
my talents. Therefore never do you need to talk more than five
minutes maximum to any one individual and usually less than that is
sufficient.
02) In other words you use Navel-Gazing to easily obtain FREE

PUBLICITY for your more conventional Psychic talents and needless
to say the clients these articles attract are then given only a brief
Navel-Reading before going onto a more normal Tarot or Palmistry
session.
03) In the case of all Navel-Readings done I always casually find out
what that persons Star Sign is and then its quite easy with a basic
knowledge of Astrology to waffle on convincingly and with often
quite accurate results for a few minutes.
04) On most all occasions you are asked onto TV/Radio shows you
will end up reading the Navels of Famous Celebrities and these are
the easiest readings you’ll ever have to do. Firstly you will either
already have a lot of knowledge about that Celebrity or a few quick
phonecalls to friends before going on air will reveal a lot of
background information of much use. Most Celebrities have very
similar lives and so once again a little observation of the news and
gossip columns will stand you in good stead.
And also best of all is the fact that I’ve found that on TV/Radio shows
Celebrities very rarely disagree with anything you say thus making
you sound correct as they know the name of the game is
entertainment and they too have learned to play this game properly.
05) When reading a complete strangers Navel for TV/Radio shows

you will often be sent to the “Green Room” (Hospitality) area
together before going on air. In fact you can demand that this happens
by saying that it takes a good five minutes of silent meditation to tune
into the subjects “Base Chakra” energy point, they will then ensure
you have time to do this before going on air so as not to bore viewers.
This of course is bullshit and the truth is you have now got at least
five minutes to have a casual chat with the volunteers and find things
out about them which of course are then fed back to them in different
words than those used by them once on air. This combined with
knowing their star sign should give more than enough patter to fill the
airtime.
06) Make much of your patter about Predictions for the FUTURE, as
these cannot be disproved at the time of the reading. Whereas you
give very sketchy details of past events you can see via their navels –
here for future predictions be very detailed, very precise and very
enthusiastic about what you are saying – also use a little common
sense. By this I mean that although future events cannot be proved or
disproved until a later time, with a little common-sense you can get
well over 50% of your future predictions correct as most people
experience similar things in their life at one time or another.
07) Once again Celebrities are by far the easiest to do readings for
whether they are with you in person for TV/Radio shows or indeed
even if it is from photos for use in a Newspaper of Magazine article.
Not only do most celebrities have very similar lifestyles but also some
things can be predicted with almost 100% confidence for celebrities
and to illustrate how common-sense is used I will give a few
examples of how I have very successfully predicted things in the past
– which needless to say once they have become reality I have then
made all the Media aware of my predictions which were documented
in print or over the airwaves some months earlier now having come
true, whereas any errors are conveniently forgot!
# I predicted in “The Daily Star” of January 1997 that Geri Halliwell

(Ginger Spice) would be the first to leave the Spice Girls. I did this
because Observation and Common-sense told me that she seemed to
be the one who always did the most talking at press conferences and I
felt that amongst a group of then Five young girls this would not be
tolerated for long by them and indeed when sparks did start flying I
felt Geri would not hang around long – AND I WAS 100%
CORRECT.
# I predicted in this same Daily Star article of January 1997 that when
Geri left she would be the first to pursue her own solo career and that
success would elude her until she became Britain’s answer to
Madonna. I said this because working on the premise she’d be first to
leave The Spice Girls, I figured she would still want to go on
performing hence the solo career prediction. I Knew the press would
give her a hard time and that Spice Girls fans would not be happy she
had left – this combined with fact it was public knowledge Geri had
once been a glamour model led me to make the success will elude her
until she becomes Britain’s answer to Madonna prediction! Here
again I was 100% correct because it was not until the MI Chico
Latino video in which she was scantily clad that she got a Solo UK
Number One.
# I predicted in that same Daily Star article of January 1997 that

Victoria Adams (Posh Spice) would end up involved with a footballer
and that she’d have a baby boy. Well I worked on the premise that
Celeb’s tend to date other Celeb’s and that being a very young women
at the time she would like other young women I know fancy a
Sportsman or two! Logic went further and told me she’d have more
chance being a Celeb of meeting the person she fancied and hence the
prediction was made. Babies wise I figured she like other young
women would get pregnant quite early on and as for saying a boy that
was a 50-50% chance. However luck was on my side AND ALL
THESE THINGS BECAME 100% TRUE!
# I once predicted that Comedian Lee Evans would become a famous

Comedy Actor which indeed he has in films such as “Mouse – Hunt”
and “There’s Something About Mary!” I made this prediction because
quite simply throughout the history of TV and Cinema some of the
best Comedians have turned their hand to acting with great success
and as this seems to be a tradition in showbiz I figured the law of
averages was on my side which indeed they were and it became 100%
CORRECT!
# To clear up the IRA Bombing of London prediction allow me to say

this was a sheer fluke – but like any coincidence which can be used to
your advantage you should milk it whilst you can like I did to get
maximum TV/Radio and Media Coverage – as the more you become
a household name, the more your services will become in demand and
ultimately the more you will be able to get for your services. The truth
is that the girl group “Intrigue” had rung me the afternoon before the
press conference and said they wouldn’t be able to make it because of
other commitments.
I sat down and decided that rather than losing face with The Essex
Evening Standard I’d wait until their offices had shut that evening and
then leave a strange message on their answer phone explaining that I
would not be there tomorrow as planned.
This I did saying something along the lines of my absence would be
because I predicted that travel through London would be almost
impossible tomorrow.
Then coincidence of coincidences I turned the news on the next
morning and London had come to a stand still due to IRA Bombing
threats and needless to say the moment the Essex Newspapers team
got to work and heard the message from me which their answerphone
had timed and dated as being left the previous evening they took my
words as a prediction of this Bomb and so a huge article validating
my predictions was run in the paper.
This taught me to always be very ambiguous when leaving answer
messages for the media – as if they have many possible meanings as
indeed mine did they can be manipulated to help your cause in many
situations!
Hopefully these few explanations of past successful predictions made
by myself in the British Media will have helped make it clearer to you
what I mean about how easy it is to make good accurate predictions
for celebrity clients.
Don’t forget also that before appearing on TV/Radio shows or Live
Shows with guest Celebrities or indeed before meeting these people
for other Media interviews you would have been told who your
subjects were going to be.
It is then a simple job to get onto the internet and visit some of that
Celebrities fan club sites which quite often contain lots of little known
information about the person, their past, their present and their future
plans!
On many occasions I’ve acquired information on Celebrities which I
am to meet the following day from Internet gossip sites and fan sites
and then have fed this information to them by way of my Belly Button
reading predictions.
More often than not the detailed nature of what I have then been
revealing has stunned the celebrities in question and on one
memorable occasion I told a famous female American pop star what
the name of her next album would be (I’d seen lots of rumours on
fan/gossip sites) and she was so amazed that she admitted that
although it was not public knowledge (she must not have seen the
websites) that she would admit this was correct. So don’t
underestimate the power of the Internet for obtaining information on
clients for use in your Psychic Readings!
b) Magazines & Newspapers will occasionally require you to do
readings from good clear photographs of the celebrities Navels. And
here’s your chance to really look good in the media as I did with
National Newspapers such as “The Sunday People.” Find out what fee
they are prepared to pay you for doing the readings and whatever the
amount say your fee is usually much dearer! However as you like
their newspaper or magazine you will do it for this price if they meet
you half way.
You then basically get them to send you the photos of the Celeb’s for
each of which you write a short few lines prediction and then these
are returned to them on condition that when the article appears they
print you predictions within an article that says “We the Sunday
People sent Navel Psychic Jonathan Royle some decapitated
photographs of Celebrities!” Then it should clearly state “Despite not
knowing who the celebrities were as we’d cut their heads off the
photo’s he made these stunningly accurate revelations and
predictions!”
Yes this may sound cheeky but sooner than lose an excellent feature
story you can often get reporters to bend over backwards to help you
and needless to say a story which appears like this leads to even more
TV/Radio work and lucrative clients.
09) For those who decide to become Navel Gazer’s it would be wise
to keep a scrapbook of any Celebrity photographs you see appear in
Newspapers or Magazines where the persons Navel is actually visible.
The logic here being you can then really do a test conditions reading
instead of faking it as detailed in point 8 above. You see Newspapers
and Magazines when asking me to do articles for them have I’ve
noticed always asked me to read the Navels of Celebrities whom are
currently “Hot News!”
Also as Celebrities very rarely appear in photographs where their
Navels are visible, if you keep copies of those which appear showing
Navels and build up your scrapbook – success will be yours!
You can then get the publications to Genuinely send you decapitated
photo’s – but as there will only be so many Photo’s for them to
choose from and they all tend to use the same Photo Libraries the
odds are that by comparing the headless photos with those in your
scrapbooks that a match will be found as you recognise the clothing
matches!
Then having discovered whom the Celebrity is an accurate reading is
easy to do and both readers and publication alike will be amazed as
you have done it under apparently impossible test conditions!
10) Remember to say very little – but appear to say a lot. This is easy
to do by using lots of long and detailed words, phrases and
descriptions to describe something, which is actually very simple, and
either applies to everybody or to most people at some time in their
lives.
For example I use phrases like “You’ve lost a little bit of your sparkle
recently haven’t you love?” If she says Yes I would continue “Yes I
know you have, you’ve been feeling down haven’t you?” – well here
she’s bound to say Yes as your only saying the same thing in a
different way again!
Then Continue “Yes you’ve been worrying a lot – then worrying
about worrying it’s become a viscous circle but its about to end and
life will be like a bed of roses again in the very near future – you will
keep positive won’t you love?” – again she’ll say Yes so you sound to
be getting things 100% Correct!
But look at what I said again and you’ll see one of my favourite Cold
reading techniques in action which is to say something which is
detailed but then end it with a positive closed question which can only
really be answered YES by the subject as to answer YES is in their
own interest!
Answering yes to this closed question has nothing to do with whether
the predictions and information contained within the rest of that
sentence were correct or not – however the audience watching or
listening will perceive the subjects answers of YES as validation that
your statements and predictions are correct!
Obviously if she answered No to the very first question you’d shoot
off in the opposite direction and say something like “Well I know you
don’t feel like you’ve lost any of your sparkle but others have noticed
your working too hard – you will take a little more time for yourself
from now on won’t you love?”
Here once again the closed question technique is used and once again
it’s in her interest to answer Yes – don’t underestimate this cold
Reading technique its very useful indeed.
11) Furthermore, the more often you can get your subjects to say YES
to you – the far less likely they are to either say you are wrong or
indeed to even let the thought that you may be or are wrong enter
their head – it is in effect mild brainwashing.
I always start readings by making it quite clear that “Whenever I ask
you a question I want you to answer Loud and clear!” (Pause) “Just
say YES nice and loud! – OK?”
This is perceived by them and the audience as telling them to answer
clearly to questions – but at a subconscious level in their mind
prompts them to answer YES to everything.
This may sound like fairytale stuff – but I’ve been using techniques
like this for the past 30+ Years since I started doing Stage
Clairvoyance shows like Doris Stokes and other famous mediums in
1990 aged 15 years old and these methods have always worked for
me!
12) Next we’ll discuss the use of Closed questions just a little bit
more before explaining how I use the power of Open Ended
Statements and Questions for Cold Reading Success.
Closed Questions are those which can easily be answered by just
saying Yes or No, and as in the aforementioned examples these can be
phrased so that it is in the interest of the subject to answer Yes.
To repeat what I’ve already said only moments ago, for which I make
no apologies as this is one of the strongest ploys you can have as a
Professional cold reader – closed questions can be used to make your
readings seem super accurate.
This technique is especially useful to Psychics doing Live
demonstrations on TV & Radio shows and also to Stage Clairvoyants
who perform before a large audience.
To re-iterate what I’ve said already, deliver a long list of detailed
sounding (yet quite general) predictions and apparently factual pieces
of information to the subject and then end your rather long winded
sentence with a closed question to which it is in their interest to
answer Yes.
Then as everyone hears them reply YES, they perceive this as being
the subject validating all the things you have said as correct when in
truth they are merely answering the question which you ended your
statement with.
Another example of a closed question being used in this way is as
follows “With my finger in your navel I’m being shown a picture of a
Valley made up of lots of hills and this is symbolic of your life to
date!”
“The hills are in various sizes and I believe this is showing me the ups
and downs you’ve had throughout your life – You’re a survivor aren’t
you?”
(Its in their interests to say Yes as its good for their ego/pride to do
so)
“Now I’m being shown a picture of a brick wall and I feel this is
symbolic of the wall you put around you in new encounters with
people – You’ve been hurt in the past when you’ve least expected it
haven’t you?”
(This will be answered Yes as we all have been at one time or another
– yet it sounds to all listening like this is a truly detailed revelation
you’re making!)
“Now I’m being shown you caught between the devil and the deep
blue sea so to speak – I’m being shown an image of you stuck
between two people”
“Now both these people are friends, they may be in a relationship
together, but what is clear to me is that you have become piggy in the
middle to them because you don’t want to upset anyone. Would I be
right in saying you don’t like upsetting people especially your
friends?”
(who is going to say anything else other than Yes you are right?)
“Yes I can see it clearly, there are two people around you, it may be
family but I’m more inclined to say its on a friendship level. And both
of these two people have been asking for your advice – yes that’s it
you don’t want to take sides with either of them as you value the
friendship of them both. You do value your close friendships don’t
you?”
(Again Yes will be the answer)
“I can see good things for you in the future, I’m being shown
prosperous times ahead for you. In fact I’d go so far too say that your
going to come into some money soon. Those things you have been
dreaming of aren’t so far away now you’ll be getting them sooner
than you think – You’ve had your mind set on something very special
to you for several years haven’t you?
(we all have dreams/ambitions so the answer will be Yes)
I could go on for pages and pages, in fact for days and days with
examples of how closed questions can be used at the end of
statements of apparent fact and can be phrased so as to guarantee a
positive Yes response but I would hope that the examples I have
given will set you on the right track and get you devising ones of your
own.
13) Next lets turn our attention to the use of Open ended statements
and questions and how these can be used by the Psychic to obtain far
more information from the client about their life and problems than
even they realise they are giving you!
Then later on in the reading this information which they have freely
given you without even realising how much they have said can be fed
back to them in a different context and/or phrased differently and will
be accepted by them as amazing insights from you into their
life/problems!
Quite simply an Open ended Statement is a statement, which could
mean almost anything and cannot really ever be pinned down as
meaning just one thing – hence its meaning is OPEN!
And Open ended questions are quite simply questions which are
phrased in such a manner that they cannot be answered by just a Yes
or No response and will instead provoke the subject to give you a
detailed answer and therefore far more information than you actually
really asked for or they realise giving you.
An example of an open ended statement would be: “I feel that at times
you get very stressed and yet in other situations you are a very calm,
relaxed and peaceful person.”
This is neither right nor wrong for anybody! It will always be seen as
being right as both possible scenarios and options are contained
within the same statement of apparent fact!
Therefore the fact the statement cannot be seen as either right or
wrong makes it OPEN and so it will fit everyone in some way at some
time and so people will always respond as though it is CORRECT!
In other words Open statements are ones where you tell the subject
they are one thing and then tell them they are at times the direct
opposite as well!
Or you tell them they feel an emotion in certain situations and then
tell them the direct opposite of this situation/emotion within the same
statement.
I hope you get the hang of it as Open statements are a very easy way
of devising Cold Reading patter which will fit every person on this
planet or as it is known in the Cold reading trade “Boiler-Plate”.
Open ended questions are those which cannot be answered with just a
Yes or a No such as these few examples which follow:
“Why do I keep being shown images of a property matter in my
minds eye?”
(They cannot possibly answer with just a simple Yes or No to a
question such as this and instead will have to give a more detailed
answer. If they are involved with some kind of property matter then
they will tell you exactly what it is and later on in the reading you can
feed this information back to them in a different context – perhaps
with reassuring words that all things regarding this matter will prove
successful! However if they state that they have no knowledge of a
property matter you would very easily steer off on another course as
follows)
“To be honest it doesn’t surprise me that as yet you are not aware of
this property matter (this implies there will be one soon) however I
can see this image so clearly that I can very confidently predict that
within the next six months period property matters will become an
important focus in your life. I’m being told to warn you to consider all
the options when this occurs and not rush in like a bull in a China
shop! You will be careful when this happens won’t you?”
Well that’s one example of how to phrase an open ended question
which as with all open ended questions will make one of two things
happen,
either:
A) They will have something going on in their life which relates to
the subject matter to which you are asking the question (asking for
more information) and this they will then freely explain to you in
great detail as they feel you are already aware of it – or why else
would you have asked the question? Then later in this same reading
this information is fed back to them in different words.
B) Or they will have no knowledge of such matters raised – but will
instead usually make you aware of other matters in their life of
concern to them as part of their answer and this itself gives you
information which you can return to later in the reading. You then
turn this into a prediction for the future and as such either way it will
only ever seem like an accurate statement/prediction on your part!
14) Also don’t forget the physical traits of the Human Navel which
are detailed earlier in this manual, as I genuinely have found for some
uncanny reason that these things do seem to have applied to 99.9% of
all the people I’ve done Navel Readings for to date. And on the very
rare occasion that you get something wrong it is easily covered up by
saying that in this persons case that physical element must be there to
serve as a reminder of areas of their ego/personality/attitude that they
would benefit from working on in the future.
15) The way that people react to being asked to show their Belly
Button to everyone and also the way in which they react when you
stick your finger into their navel speaks volumes about their
personality. After all don’t forget how close to intimate sexual areas
of the body our Navels are, and the fact that for many people they are
Erogenous Zones (sexual turn on points)! Is it any surprise then that
some people are very shy about showing their Navels in much the
same way, as they may be sexually very straight-laced? And in much
the same way those eager to show their navels are often outrageous
flirts with broad-minded interests and opinions on all things sexual.
Common Sense will work wonders here, just bear in mind what I’ve
said and you’ll see exactly what I mean when you put it into practice.
16) Another ploy to make the reading more accurate is to half way
through your predictions and comments ask the subject if they have
any specific questions they would like you to try and answer?
Just say to them
“Well I’m seeing so much in your Navel and we have so little time
together today so to speed things up for you, are there any specific
questions or areas of your life you’d like me to look into?” This
makes it sound innocent enough, you don’t seem like your probing for
help and needless to say their answers give you all the information
you need to carry on the reading in a very specific and accurate
manner.
17) Two last points on Navel Cold Reading and these are that a)
whether you are a believer in genuine intuition and Psychic powers or
not – please do trust your intuition. The method of seeing a blank TV
screen in your mind and allowing images to pop onto it as mentioned
earlier in this manual is not only a good piece of explanatory patter –
BUT IT ALSO WORKS! OK so you might think I’m bonkers, but if I
had a pound for every time I’ve been on TV and suddenly said the
first thing that came into my head of a very detailed and specific
nature with 100% CORRECT & SUCCESSFUL RESULTS – then I’d
be very rich indeed!!!
b) Secondly don’t forget that other options are also open to you in
order to make a really good impression on very important TV shows
such as the use of a Mentalists Impression Clipboard before the show
goes on air!
You could get the people who are to have their Navels read to write
down on a slip of paper three things: 1) The most important memory
they have from their past. 2) The most important thing going on in
their life at present. 3) Their biggest dream/ambition for the future.
They are told this is being done, as it will help make things clearer in
THEIR MINDS and EASIER FOR THEM when you get on air!
In otherwords it is portrayed that you’ve had them do this FOR
THEIR BENEFIT!
You then tell them to fold up the slips which you make clear you have
not seen (you can see what the clipboard says later!) and to hide them
in one of their pockets as you WILL NOT be using these on air – no
they have just been written out by the subjects to get things CLEAR
IN THEIR MINDS.
The subjects will not think anything strange of this especially as you
will make the main part of their readings up from Cold Reading
methods, but along the way for each subject you can reveal thanks to
the clipboard one very definite and very detailed item about their Past,
Present & Future.
You end up looking amazing, the viewers or live show audience are
never any the wiser about the use of the clipboard before the show,
and best of all Belly Button Reading and your talents in the use of it
look super accurate and so even more FREE TV/Radio, Newspaper &
Magazine publicity can easily be obtained.
With reference to the use of a Mentalists clipboard to obtain
information for your reading please refer to the psychology behind
how I use one for Pawology in my book on that subject!
The Questionnaire which you get them to fill in on the Mentalists
clipboard could also contain the disclaimer for “Navel-Healing”
which will be mentioned shortly whilst also asking for their contact
details for use in further media features.
The Magical Power of the words And & But
As taught in depth by Kenton Knepper in more detail in his

“Completely Cold” and also his “Wonder Word” packages both of
which any serious student of Mentalism & Psychic Readings would
be wise to study, there is a Magical Power to the words “And” &
“But”
The word “and” binds together two individual statements and makes a
connection between the phrases an example being:
“You are a strong and trustworthy person. And I feel that you have a
lot of friends and your friends often share their secrets with you.”
This means we can make a statement and when we observe a positive
reaction, we can say the word AND followed by a more detailed
expansion on what we just said as we know we are on the right track.
Whereas Psychologically using the word “but” erases the previous
statement and exchanges it for a new one.
This is ideal for us as it means we can based on the clients reactions to
what we have just said insert the word BUT and then say something
else that is likely to be a bigger hit if what we had been saying was
not getting the positive feedback signals we had hoped to observe.
An example of this is that you have just said to the client..
“This card seems to indicate to me that you do not handle stressful
situations well at all”
And as you have said it you can realise by their body language and
facial expressions that they do not agree with this statement at all
which is your cue to quickly say the word BUT and then to follow it
with a statement meaning pretty much directly the opposite of that
which you just said which met with a negative response as in…
“This card seems to indicate to me that you do not handle stressful
situations well at all”
BUT
“actually when considered in context with the surrounding cards it
actually means that you do not often get credit or indeed give yourself
enough credit for just how well you do handle stressful situations”
It could of course have been a sentence, comment or statement about
anything that you made originally which is met with negative
feedback signals and thus you then quickly say BUT and follow that
by saying pretty much the opposite of what you had said before
inserting the word BUT.
It sounds as though you were always going to say what you end up
saying and will be remembered as you always being incredibly
accurate throughout the reading by the client.
These are just two of the many powerful linguistic tools that can be
used to make your readings seem more accurate.
For more information on these areas visit www.wonderwizards.com
and purchase Completely Cold and/or Wonder Words from Kenton
Knepper.
Another powerful ploy is that used for converting something you say
as though it is a statement of fact that the client should be aware of
right now which is met with a negative response into a prediction for
the future instead which they cannot argue with as the future has not
yet arrived.
For this you quite simple make any bold detailed statement you may
like such as for example:
“I’m getting a sense of a lady around you who has an extremely
strong connection with the letter A and the colour purple, does that
make sense to you?”
If they say Yes then you proceed something such as:
“Good because I get a sense that she has recently or will very soon be
giving you some wise words of advice which you should consider
carefully”
If they say No then you turn it solely into a prediction for the future
by saying something such as:
“Oh OK, well the Cards never lie so it must be indicating this so
strongly because you will find that a lady will appear in your life
around you who has an extremely strong connection with the letter A
and the colour purple, in the very near future, so please keep an eye
out for her as I feel that she will be giving you some wise words of
advice which you should consider carefully ?”
By turning your statements that may not get a positive response into
predictions for the Future it Psychologically cancels out any misses
and makes the reading as a whole seem way more accurate overall.
Oh for this chapter I am going to leave you to think about an age old
technique which is taught in more depth in some of my other books
on Cold Reading and Psychic Skills, namely that of making a
statement which already has several ”outs” built into.
By this I mean it gets perceived by the client as one thing and if they
do not agree to this then you can very quickly respond as though they
have misunderstood you and that you actually meant something else
entirely which gives you another chance at getting a hit.
A great example of this age old ploy was given by Morgan Strebler in
his DVD Set “Ice Cold” and also in his book of the same name, the
way he uses the ploy is to use the powerful word of ABUSE.
Imagine you are staring at the Tarot Cards, Runes or the persons palm
and suddenly you pause leaving some silence for a short while before
saying something such as:
“I’m getting a sense that some time ago you were Abused”
Now the word Abused is such a powerful and emotive one that people
often immediately think of Sexual or Physical Violence Abuse and
indeed if the client has ever been sexually abused or violently abused
then you can pretty much guarantee they would break down in tears at
this point or at the very least respond with a gasp of amazement
confirming you are correct.
Whereas if they have not been either Sexually or Physically Abused
during their lives and thus respond negatively to the statement you
can very quickly respond with a statement such as:
“No I don’t mean physical abuse, sorry I should have been clearer I’m
sensing Verbal or Psychological Abuse does that make sense?”
Usually at this point you will get a yes as at some point most people
will have had some kind of verbal abuse or psychological abuse
whether in the workplace, at School or in a relationship.
However if they should for any reason say No, then you can respond
with a statement such as:
“Well I’m glad you’ve clearly fully got over it, but the cards really do
seem to indicate that you’ve suffered some kind of bullying in the
past either at School or in the work place – does that make sense?”
At this point it usually jogs their memory to think of something that
will fit and thus this turns what you have been saying from the start
into a hit also.
The absolute worse case scenario would be to turn it into a future
prediction but with a slant that makes things positive and upbeat for
them such as:
“Well OK that’s a little confusing then, the cards must be telling me
to tell you beware of someone trying to bully or abuse you in the
work place in the near future, they seem to be encouraging me to tell
you to speak up and stand up for yourself immediately you become
aware of someone trying to put you down or trying to hold you back
and that by so doing you will make the absolute best of any
surrounding situations leading to increased success and happiness in
everything that is going on around you at that time.”
They cannot argue with such a statement as it has not happened yet
and what I have just described happens at some point to pretty much
everybody on the pane and thus is extremely likely to become a
reality for them which they will then remember you predicting and
thus once again everything you have said all along has been
transformed into a positive hit.
Re-read this chapter several times as there is real gold contained
within it that will ultimately help you to give apparently far more
detailed and accurate readings full of predictions that also come true.
And then go get some readings from Fortune Tellers in your local
area and listen carefully to what they say and how they turn
something they have just said which does not meet with your approval
into meaning something else entirely so that you then see it as a hit.
LINKING IT ALL TOGETHER
In the excellent books on Tarot Reading by Vincent Pitisci which I

recommended to you by name in the Tarot Chapter he shares the true
Secret of how Tarot and indeed also Runes and many other divination
systems actually work.
He reveals that for example the various positions in a Tarot or Rune

spread are fixed in their meaning whereas the Tarot Card or Rune that
may be placed there during each reading can and often does change
each time making it a variable asset in proceedings.
Vincent explains that our first job as a reader is to take the meaning
linked to the fixed position in the Tarot, Rune or other spread/layout
and to blend that together with the meaning associated with the card
that has been chosen for that position.
This is known as Conceptual Blending and is something that Vincent

explains wonderfully in his books and that you can also discover more
about by reading the book “The Way We Think: Conceptual Blending
And The Mind's Hidden Complexities” by Gilles Fauconnier.
Our second job is to then use Mind Mapping to allow the two
meanings we have just blended together to also act as a trigger of
“Free Association” to bring other thoughts, ideas and information to
mind that we can then also relate to our clients during the reading.
Mind Mapping was devised by Tony Buzan and you would be wise to
read his book “Mind Map Mastery: The Complete Guide to Learning
and Using the Most Powerful Thinking Tool in the Universe”
It could easily be argued that by combining the techniques of

conceptual blending and mind mapping, Vincent Pitisci has
discovered a relatively easy way for us to access our imaginations and
unconscious minds more fully whilst giving readings and thus many
would argue to also gain access to our inner INTUITION and some
may say genuine “Psychic Abilities”
In any event I can’t tell you how often something truly detailed and
yet seemingly bizarre jumps into my mind during a reading which
when I relate it to the client not only amazes them but also makes
total sense to them.
The truth is a good reader is also a good storyteller and thus in turn a
truly great reader is a truly great storyteller and with that in mind you
can grow as a reader by ordering some “Storytelling Dice” or
“Storytelling Cards” from Amazon and then using them as instructed
to practise generating detailed stories on the spot from the random
information they contain.
This practise will in turn help you to become even better at taking the
random combination of the fixed asset (position in spread or layout)
of the Tarot card or Rune and the variable asset of which Card or
Rune was actually chosen for that position and to then conceptually
blend them together into a story for the client which can then be
expanded upon by the use of Mind Mapping & Free Association.
Practising this skill will mean that in time you will no longer ever
need to rely on so called “Cold Reading” techniques or Stock Patter
Lines as you will find that you have become truly accurate and
detailed in the stories and information that you generate for your
clients based on the use of Conceptually Blending, Mind Mapping,
Free Association & Story Telling Skills.
You will also realise along the way that this actually ends up
becoming so natural and second nature to you that it may end up
feeling like you have developed and are using your own Natural
Psychic Powers and Intuition..
You may well be at that point, the truth is nobody knows for sure and
nobody can categorically prove things one way or the other so just go
with it and trust your instructs, intuition and gut feelings.
The fact that these most likely just end up being based on experience
and observation of your client is a discussion we need take no further.
So with that said let me now explain to you how all elements of the
EN-PART system can be linked together for those times when
somebody has booked for example a full length 60 Minute private 1
to 1 reading.
Whilst you could give a full length reading using any single element
of the EN-PART system it is my experience that life is made way
easier whilst also enabling you to offer a truly attractive sounding
“Platinum Package” of consultation to your clients by combining all
elements.
This means that you use Energetic Psychometry, Numerology,

Palmistry, Astrology, Runes & Tarot within the same reading session.
Indeed truth be known I also quite often throw in some Graphology,

Tree Reading and apparent Clairvoyance along the way as well.
The way that I do this is to ask the persons name and date of birth the
very moment they sit down so that I can write them down onto the
Numerology Tick Sheets.
I then ask them to write onto a blank visiting card the name of a loved
one in the Spirit World with whom they would if possible like to
make contact along with how they are related, so for example they
might write down GRANDMOTHER ELSIE or maybe UNCLE
DAVID.
This is done without me seeing and without them telling me and then
they place the card face down into my wallet (The Ultimate
Networking Tool Peek Wallet) which I casually place into my inside
pocket as I explain that the energies connected to the name and person
will now be close to my heart and make it easier for me to hopefully
pick up on them during the session.
I then give them the Tree Reading tick sheet and ask them to draw a
Tree and then also to write the phrase TWO MAGPIES underneath it
in their normal joined up writing and to then sign their name under the
picture and phrase on the inside blank page of the Tree Reading tick
sheet.
Whilst they are doing this it gives me time to calculate the two
Numerology Tick Sheets that I use during the reading.
I can then take hold of their hand and start giving them a Palmistry
Reading and at the same time refer to the Numerology Tick Sheets for
more information to weave into things as well as noting what their
Star Sign is and using my Lazy Mans Astrology method to also
expand things further.
I will then ask the client to give me an item personal to them so I can
give them short Psychometry reading from it whilst at the same time
the client is given my Tarot Cards to mix and make their selection
ready for the next stage of the reading.
Once they have for example selected and placed 10 cards into a pile
one on top of each other on the table, I will then look at the Tree
Drawing they made and give them a Psychic Tree Reading from that
followed by some further insights from the Graphology element of
them having written the phrase TWO MAGPIES which they have
then signed their name below.
(Two Magpies is fully explained in Speed Learning Graphology by

Julian Moore)
It is then time for the Tarot, but by this time with what has been
revealed by the Energetic Psychometry, Numerology, Palmistry,
Astrology, Tree Reading & Graphology it is safe to say that by the
persons reactions to the things revealed to them I now know an awful
lot about them and what kind of person they are so it makes the Rune
and Tarot Reading elements incredibly far easier.
At some point towards the end of the Tarot Reading element for
which I may well start with a 10 card Pyramid Spread before using
the Celtic Cross Spread and ending with the 12 Card year ahead
Prediction Spread (all 3 of which are taught and used in that order by
Mark Lewis on his excellent “Tarot Reading for Entertainment” DVD
from International Magic) I will start to sense a connection with Spirit
and thanks to the name and information I peeked right at the start will
relate a positive message from the persons loved one who gets named
as the message is related to them.
By this time they have often forgotten writing down the persons name
at all as the wallet has been out of sight for at around 45 minutes by
this stage.
If the person showed a particular interest in the Runes or if I’ve

already done a lot of Tarot Reading that day, I may instead use only 1
or 2 Tarot spreads instead of the 3 just mentioned replacing the Celtic
Cross Tarot spread with a Fuller Length Rune Reading.
That way it would go 10 Card Pyramid Tarot Spread followed by

Rune Reading followed by Tarot 12 month Prediction spread.
In all cases I then directly ask them is there are any specific questions
that they would still like answering and use a 3 Rune Spread to reveal
to them the likely outcome of the question/s they have just asked.
A short recap of all the things I have stated that I know from the
reactions I got can be considered positive hits is then given to firmly
embed into their mind just how much and how often you got things
correct which of course in turn gives them confidence and faith that
the positive things you will have predicted for them to happen in their
future are likely to become reality and this can therefore then become
a Positive Thinking Self Fulfilling Prophecy for them.
That is why you should (in the main) only predict positive things for
the future and if you do feel the need to touch anything which may
seem negative then always be sure to put a positive slant onto it as
well as your job is to ultimately make the client feel better and to give
them positivity and optimism for the future wherever possible.
Then at the end of the reading they take away the Numerology and
Tree Reading Tick Sheets all of which contain your contact details
along with some of your business cards and leaflets which they are
encouraged to give to their friends.
Were I to ever start doing Psychic Fair’s again I would have a sign
designed that said something such as:
ROYLE PSYCHIC CLAIRVOYANT
Knows All, Sees All, Tells All
EN-PARTS PSYCHIC WISDOM
Energetic Psychometry
Numerology
Palmistry
Astrology
Rune Stones
Tarot Readings
Plus Graphology & Tree Symbolism

Needless to say there would also be some visual images on the signs
and roller banners and all done in a colour scheme and design that
would make them stand out from a long distance and draw attention
from those walking around at the Psychic Fair.
Given that most readers at these events only offer 1 or maybe 2 styles
of divination and given that people at these events often either have a
firm idea of the kind of reading they want meaning that if you don’t
offer such they won’t possibly come to you or that have not decided
in which case by having a sign such as the example given you are far
more likely to attract customers than your competition.
This also enables you to offer everything from extremely low cost
rapid Palmistry Readings or Numerology tick sheet readings, through
to the more normal Tarot or Rune readings all the way through to a
“Platinum Package Reading” which obviously you charge a lot more
money for.
For those who opt for the Platinum Package I also give them a Lucky
Gemstone to take away with them and a copy of my “Life Changes”
Physical DVD-ROM and Audio CD package details of which are
located at https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/sYdk/
This is marked up as retailing at 47 Pounds UK Sterling and so when
I give them a Free Copy it really does seem like a valuable gift to
them and helps ensure they will talk about me a lot and thus help to
generate more bookings for me by way of word of mouth.
The truth is that it only costs me 20p a disk (40p for the 2), 10p per
plastic disk cover (20p for 2), 10p for the A5 Sealy Bag and 30p
Maximum for the Full Colour A4 Sheet that is folded in half and
placed into the Sealy bag to form the front and back cover of the
package.
A total maximum cost to me of One Pound UK Sterling at the time of

writing in September 2020, the truth is when I but the bits in bulk
each unit becomes far cheaper than that.
But even at One Pound Sterling per unit as it perceptively they are
getting an item worth 47 Pounds Sterling given to them and given the
extreme positive nature of the contents as detailed in the advert for the
product at https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/sYdk/ from which I

https://youtu.be/cA2I8dYbTr8 & https://youtu.be/ZoO874p3I8c
Since I first appeared on British Television back in 1996 giving Dogs

Paw Readings, many people around the world have picked up on the
idea and some such as the example at the next link have altered the
way it is done slightly as I use all Five Pads and have different
meanings attributed to them.
This is illustrated by the information given at this link which is quite
different than that I teach within my book on the subject
https://psychic.email/how-to-read-a-dogs-paw/
In 2010 Jason Shields released a book Called Pawology Palmistry for

Dogs & Cats
https://www.amazon.com/Pawology-Palmistry-for-Cats-
Dogs/dp/0557274303
And in 2018 Cat Paw Reading became something of a craze in Japan

TASSEOGRAPHY
TEA LEAF & TEA BAG READINGS
Giving Tea Leaf readings is quite simply all about being imaginative
and looking for what the Tea Leaves look like on the sides of the cup
allowing your mind to make images of them and then to use those
images to trigger off ideas of what they mean in terms of the clients
life and future.
A good Shut eye book to read on the subject is “Tea Leaf Reading for
Beginners: Your Fortune in a Teacup” by Caroline Dow.
Then there is a two disk DVD set from Leaping Lizards available
from many Magic Shops entitled “Tea Leaf Reading and More”
which gives more of an Open Eye insight into matters.
I would also grab a copy of the massive book “Llewellyn's Complete
Book of Divination: Your Definitive Source for Learning Predictive
and Prophetic Techniques” by Richard Webster as not only is
Tasseography mentioned but also so are numerous other styles of
Divination such as automatic writing, candle reading, coin divination,
flower reading, sand divination and automatic writing amongst many
others.
Although a book intended for the general public once you have
studied the contents of and followed the advice within this book, you
will be able to easily “read between the lines” so to speak and will
find much of use in the book.
Finally you may find it useful to order “The Cup of Destiny - A
traditional fortune-teller's cup and saucer plus illustrated book of
interpretation” by Jane Lyle as the cup will help make it easier to
learn and remember some elements of Tea Leaf Reading.
In a nutshell though I compare Tea Leaf Reading to British Game TV
Game Show “Catchphrase” (search web for clips) as with
Tasseography it really is quite simply just a case of saying what you
see and using your common sense to allow what you see to trigger
thoughts in your mind of how this can be relevant to your clients life.
You will also find that a study of Conceptual Blending and also of
Mind Mapping which are both subjects I mention in a different
chapter will prove useful in helping you to give better readings via the
Tea Leaves.
Some time spent mastering this art could with a little effort prove very
profitable if you convinced a Tea Company to employ your services
at Trade Shows or in high end department stores.
After all Twinings Tea have already realised the Marketing potential
of Tea Leaf Reading to help them sell more of their range of Teas
https://www.twinings.co.uk/about-twinings/latest-news-and-
articles/the-basics-of-reading-tea-leaves
In the past I’ve also given Tea Bag Readings on Television shows, the
basic idea being that things how strongly and/or aggressively they
squeeze the tea bag (or don’t) along with what shape the bag looks to
be in once they have finished squeezing and have removed it from the
cup all give an indication of what kind of person they are and, so I
claimed gave off Psychic Energies that enabled me to predict their
futures which obviously all just came down to Cold Reading, Stock
lines, Observation of the person and stating things that have a chance
of actually happening to them in the future.
It may sound ridiculous but the truth is once you have had some
experience giving readings and built up your confidence you will find
that you are eventually able to give readings with quite literally
anything, anytime, anywhere with ease.
PENDULUM POWER
I reveal lots about using the Pendulum in my book “Seance Secrets,

Ghost Hunting Tricks & Paranormal Investigation Techniques” which
is available for $30 from https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/MgHK/
I also teach how to use the Pendulum to help people change their lives
for the better in my training course entitled “C.U.R.E.D. = Complete
Unconscious Reprogramming of Emotional Disease & Distress”
which leads to a World Class Accredited Mind Therapy Diploma and
can be yours for $177 - https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/ksqm/ or
for Free as part of the bumper package offer that I will tell you more
about later in this book.
And anyone wishing to further their expertise in using Pendulums
would be wise to purchase the open eye book “Pendulum Power for
the Psychic Entertainer” by Richard Webster which along with all his
other books is here https://www.deceptionary.com/webster.html
Also Richards two “Shut Eye” books for the general public entitled
“Pendulum Magic for Beginners: Power to Achieve All Goals” and
“How to Use a Pendulum: 50 Practical Rituals and Spiritual Activities
for Clarity and Guidance” are well worth buying from any major
book store or online retailer.
Also go to http://www.magicalguru.com/free-stuff/ and get my 3
Hypnosis Books Free that also teach techniques useful for use with
Pendulums.
OUIJA BOARDS & GLASS MOVING
I discuss Ouija Boards & Glass moving at great length in my book

“Seance Secrets, Ghost Hunting Tricks & Paranormal Investigation
Techniques” which is available for $30 from:
https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/MgHK/
The use of Ouija Boards & Glass Moving is also covered in several of
the wonderful books written by my good friend & colleague Paul
Voodini which are available from most major magic dealers.
For those wishing to add some trickery to their Glass Moving

Activities I can recommend investing into a set of the DMC Alphas
Marked Cards which are available from most major Magic Dealers.
These are cleverly marked so that once you know what to look for it
stands out a mile but to those without the knowledge that the cards are
marked they will neither be looking for anything or able to find
anything anyway.
In the picture above the four main cards fanned at the front are
marked in their top left hand corners, these markings from left to right
being the Letters J, K, L & M.
Using a DMC Alphas Marked Deck you can do an experiment
whereby the Alphabet Cards from A to Z are first shuffled and then
are laid Face Down in random positions making a circle on the table
for the Glass Moving.
You could then get someone to write down a name of somebody they
want to contact and then apparently destroy the folded slip of paper
which you have not seen the contents of in the flame of a candle as a
kind of ritual to make contact with the other side.
You of course use a Magicians & Mentalists technique such as the
Centre Tear to find out the name of the person in Spirit and then are
able to help move the glass to the correct face down letters thanks to
you knowing where they are due to the markings.
When the cards selected by the glass moving with yours and several
other peoples fingertips upon it as taught in my Séance Book
mentioned earlier it will be discovered that the name of the person in
Spirit has been spelt out under seemingly impossible conditions.

Hypnosis Books Free that also teach techniques of suggestion and the
use of Ideo Motor Responses which will prove useful to those who
wish to experiment with Ouija Boards & Glass Moving.
DARK SÉANCES
I talk more about using conducting Dark Seances & Ghost Hunts in
my book “Seance Secrets, Ghost Hunting Tricks & Paranormal
Investigation Techniques” which is available for $30 from:
I can also personally recommend any and all books on Ghostly related
matters & conducting Seances written by my good friend & colleague
Paul Voodini which are available from most major magic dealers.

Hypnosis Books Free that also teach techniques of Suggestion and
Hypnosis that will prove extremely useful for anyone who wishes to
conduct entertaining Séance events.
GHOST HUNTING & PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATION EVENTS
I teach exactly how to run Successful Ghost Hunting & Paranormal

Investigation events within my book “Seance Secrets, Ghost Hunting
Tricks & Paranormal Investigation Techniques” which is available for
$30 from:
I can also personally recommend any and all books on Ghostly related
matters & conducting Seances written by my good friend & colleague
Paul Voodini which are available from most major magic dealers.
Hypnosis Books Free that also teach techniques useful for the astute
Ghost Hunting & Paranormal Investigations Host & Presenter.
PAST LIFE REGRESSIONS
You can watch some of my Past Life Regression show on my website
page at http://www.magicalguru.com/psychic-shows/
Or Part One = https://youtu.be/Rbvo9se4FrE
Part Two = https://youtu.be/-w2zbQFgC60
To learn how to present such a Past Life Regression Show or 1 to 1

Past Life Regression Session my home study video set entitled
“SECRETS OF SPIRITUAL HYPNOSIS & PAST LIFE
REGRESSION FOR PSYCHIC ENTERTAINERS” should be
essential study for anyone who desires to conduct Past-Life
Regressions and more details about it can be seen at:
https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/l3bR/
This ebook entitled “Have you Lived Before – The Lazy Mans Guide
to Past Life Regressions” will also get you started with ease and is
just $9.70 from https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/Bsa8/
You would also be wise to check out the Open Eye Book “Cashing in
on Past Life’s” by Richard Webster available from:
I would also recommend a read of the Shut Eye Book “Practical

Guide to Past-life Memories: Twelve Proven Methods” also by
Richard Webster and available from all major book stores.
Hypnosis Books Free that also teach techniques useful for Regression.
My friend & colleague John Richardson has released a beautiful set of
Past Lives Revealed Cards which can be used to give Past Life Theme
Psychic Readings and I am sure with a little though hold great
potential for many uses by the Psychic Entertainer.
You can contact John via http://john-richardson.co.uk/

ASTRAL PROJECTION & REMOTE
VIWEING EXPERIENCES
My home study video set entitled “SECRETS OF SPIRITUAL

HYPNOSIS & PAST LIFE REGRESSION FOR PSYCHIC
ENTERTAINERS” should be essential study for anyone who desires
to conduct Past-Life Regressions and/or Astral Projections and more
details about it can be seen at:
You would also be wise to check out the Open Eye Book “The Astral
Travel Workshop” by Richard Webster available from:
Also his Shut Eye book on the subject available from all major book
stores is invaluable reading and is called “Astral Travel for Beginners:
Transcend Time and Space with Out-of-body Experiences” by
Richard Webster.
There is a great Astral Projection routine whereby you get one

audience member to apparently Astral Project and Remote View the
inside of another audience members bedroom explained in Paul
Voodini’s “Midnight Side of the Mind” books which are also useful
for Past Life Regression and other demonstrations also.
In conjunction with that you may wish to seek out a copy of “Home
Astral Projection” by Ian Rowland which if you do a simple Google
Search will reveal this to you:
With “Home Astral Projection” by Ian Rowland, you meet a complete

stranger. You ask them to just think about, and visualise, their home
environment.
Using your powers of 'astral projection', you start to see what they
see, and to describe their home. You mentally 'fly' from the front door
or main entrance into their living room, making a series of statements
along the way. You are uncannily accurate!
This effect is achieved purely by following a detailed, structured
script written and devised by Ian Rowland.
There is nothing else involved. No preparation, advance information
or props. If you learn the script, you can present this effect anywhere,
for anyone, for the rest of your life. This script has stunned and
delighted magician and mentalists all over the world. The response at
the 'MINDS2' mentalism convention was incredible.
This effect is not for beginners. It is advisable to know a bit about
mentalism, and about cold reading, before you attempt to use this
script.
You get the full script (divided into seven major sections) plus some
cold reading presentational tips and advice. This script is the one that
Ian Rowland himself has used during countless demonstrations, all
over the world, for over twenty years.
I must also draw your attention to a Mentalism routine called “Astral

Traveller” which Andreas Sebring has released on his Metal Writing
site here https://www.metalwriting.com/the-astral-traveler.html
With just a little thought this would be excellent to weave into a

demonstration of Astral Projection or Remote Viewing.

Hypnosis Books Free that also teach techniques useful for Helping
people to experience Astral Projection, Remote Viewing and Out of
Body Experiences.
PSYCHIC EXPERIMENTS
I explain a compete show of Psychic Experiments in my book

“PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT FOR BEGINNERS - (A Complete
Psychic Work-Shop Style Mentalism Show)” which is available for
$20 from - https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/X58J/
One of the most useful utility devices for a Psychic Entertainer is a

good quality Thumb Writer which itself can be used as the key to
performing numerous apparent Psychic Experiments and in that
regard I recommend to you the Roll’s Royce of thumb writers namely
the Cbring Thumb Writer as developed by Andreas Sebring of Metal
Writing https://www.metalwriting.com/cbring-thumb-writer.html
The two video links which follow will teach you how to apparently
make Spoons & Forks visibly bend, melt & snap through so it seems
Psychic Mind Power Alone!
You also will learn a few Mentalism routines that can be presented as
demonstrations of “genuine” Psychic Ability.
Psychic Magic Video
https://youtu.be/mbJFHbcg0LM
Spoon & Metal Bending
https://youtu.be/l4O4IUeTXA4
When you are a Psychic Reader it is important than any Mentalism

Routines you may use as demonstrations of your ability look as close
to the real thing would or could as possible.
Therefore, I am going to recommend a few items that I have
personally used with great success over the years and feel you could
also use with positive results.
Astro-Scope by Mark Lee is available from all major Magic Dealers
and also directly from Mark at Merlins Magic in Wakefield.
https://merlinswakefield.co.uk/astro-scope-by-mark-lee-28700-
p.asp
A short example performance video - https://vimeo.com/387331657
The Vernet Marked ESP Deck is the one that I personally use for ESP
Style Routines & Experiments.
The Zodiac by Vernet is a pocket sized spiral bound book with which
you can if you were to purchase 3 of them perform a complete act
which looks like the real thing.
Here is an example of just some of what is possible with this
beautifully produced product https://youtu.be/IQgTGtnp_aU
Invisible Elastic Loops can be used to make someone with their eyes
closed feel as though they have been touched when in fact the
audience will confirm that you never physically touched the person.
This is a wonderful lead in to a more full length “Psychokinetic
Touches” routine like those I teach on my “Ghost Kiss” video training
here https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/zCR8/
Banachek’s Psychokinetic Pen enables you to concentrate on a pen
balanced on something like in the image above and then for it to
visibly fall off as if your Psychic Mind Power made this happen.
You can get them from most major magic retailers links to many of
which can be found on www.magicweek.co.uk
Search on Ebay or Google for “PK Power Pen” or “Remote Control

Pen Magic Trick” as with this item as pictured above a coin is
borrowed from a spectator and placed on top of a standing marker
pen, this is covered with a glass to stop anyone tampering with it. The
Psychic Miracle Worker (that’s you) then makes the coin fall off the
pen with the power of your mind.
A final suggestion for a routine that looks like the real thing is
“Parnanormal” by Ted Lesley also released under the name
“ParaNormal 2018”
You are apparently by mind power alone able to make the paper star
move in any direction you desire and to start and stop spinning whilst
it is covered by a large glass to prove that you could not just be
blowing on it and thus this truly does look like Real Psychic Powers.
By purchasing a copy of the above book “Psychokinetic Time” you
will then be able to make the hands on someone’s watch move on
exactly the number of minutes that another person randomly selects
whilst the watches owner is holding it in their closed hand in a
manner where everyone will conclude you used Psychic Energy.
In the right circumstances and at the right time you can easily
convince people that your Psychic Talents enable you to levitate
yourself by using the methods taught in “Konnected” by Morgan
Strebler & San Minds as per https://youtu.be/g1m0FQEpMnE
This is essentially The Balducci Levitation method explained here
https://youtu.be/I63S3yzT2po but with choreography and added
elements of Psychology that take it to the next level of amazement
whilst also ensuring that all of your viewing angles are perfect for the
person who is holding onto your hands as you seemingly levitate into
the air.
The original version of the Balducci Levitation is also explained with
photographs here - https://www.magicalapparatus.com/learning-
magic/the-secret-of-the-balducci-levitation.html
In the above picture The four people who are stood up are about to to
find they can amazingly life up the lady seated in the chair with just
the tips of 2 fingertips each despite the fact they have already tried to
do this and found it impossible as demonstrated in this video here
https://youtu.be/xWAqJCb6HPs where I was the warm up act for
my friend & colleague Italian Mentalist Luca Volpe.
Here is another video of a slightly different version of the routine
https://youtu.be/9GzSTdbwDgA this being the one that I sell the
necessary word card images and performance rights to in my store at
https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/cuqt/
I have found that people who take part in this experiment as well as
those who witness it demonstrated all mostly end up after the event
talking about it as though they witnessed a demonstration of
Levitation achieved through Psychic Mind Power.
Within the book “The Truth About Uri Geller” you will not only
discover Secrets of Metal Bending and ways that you can duplicate all
of Uri Geller’s most Famous Feats of Telepathy, Drawing
Duplication, Dowsing and other apparent Psychic Skills, but also you
will get a close examination of the Psychology that has helped Uri
Geller to become one of the most Famous Psychics in the World.
Should you desire to become a Psychic Super Star like Uri Geller then
the above book “The Shiels Effect” subtitled “How to Become A
Psychic Superstar” contains information truly could help you achieve
that kind of Fame, Recognition & Riches.
My final mention in this chapter has to be to tell you to buy a copy of

“13 Steps to Mentalism” by Tony Corinda as by studying that in
conjunction with the routines I described in earlier chapters of this
book you should then have all the material that you will ever need.
ATTRACTING CLIENTS
Although it may seem to be aimed mainly at Hypnotherapists & Mind

Therapy Practitioners, the truth is that the information within my
“Marketing for Therapists – Platinum Edition package” is worth its
weight in gold many times over to the Psychic Entertainer and
Fortune Telling Consultant who desires to make as much money as

THE WORKING PSYCHICS
SECRETS METHODS
By Merlin aka Hobrin aka The Late Brian Howard
Being able to give a first class cold or psychological reading is one of

the working psychic’s most useful attributes. One has to be able to
distinguish between the two types of readings although both types of
reading tend to overlap when one is giving any kind of reading.
The Cold Reading has been defined as taking a very broad general
reading and watching your subject carefully and pumping information
out of your subject in the course of the reading.
In this case you are actually doing more listening and feeding back
the information so gleaned than actually telling the subject new
information.
The impression given to the subject is that you have told them
everything, but what has really happened is that you have asked more
questions than you have answered.
However, the truth is the subject is left with the impression that you
are a truly great Psychic with a wonderful gift and that the `sitter` has
said nothing during the whole reading.
The Psychological Reading is generally distinguished as being a

reading that is very broad, very general, not specific at all but
something that applies to most people.
This type of reading has been used very much in past years. From a
personal standpoint I find that an amalgamation of both types of
reading can be combined together most successfully.
One can always start off with some very broad statements, as in the
psychological reading and then by using methods described later,
feeding back information to the subject that they have asked you.
Some of this information you will have obtained secretly and some of
the information you will have asked for directly.
However, in the course of the reading the fact that you have asked for
the information is very soon forgotten.
What is remembered for a long time is the fact that YOU gave them
the information!
If you have aspirations to be known as a Psychic you will find the

uses of being able to give a reading very useful.
Many individuals who are interested in the occult will often ask you
to give them a reading, “tell my fortune”, “Read my cards” “Tell me
about my future”, etc.
What you have to remember is that people are more interested in

themselves than in anything or anyone else.
They would rather you tell them something about their grandmother,
for instance, her maiden name, than anything else that you can think
of.
People are vain. They want to hear about themselves and what’s more
important, they want to hear something good about themselves.
Here is something important. Some people think that to use magical

principles or fraudulent methods to help one give a successful psychic
reading is wrong!!
From a personal standpoint, I want it understood that I have no

psychic powers of any kind BUT, I have given thousands
of excellent psychic readings all over the country and have been
invited to lecture on the subject in many other lands!
If I can satisfy the individual with the quality of my reading for which
he/she has paid, then I have done what I set out to do – irrespective of
the methods used.
From my point of view, morality does not come into it because very
often giving a good and positive psychic reading to a person who is
feeling `down`, can very often give them the emotional lift they need
and in that way, do a lot of good.
I have known a number of `Shuteye` Readers, those who are alleged

to be genuine, give atrocious readings of the type that could and often
does undermine the subject’s emotions for a long time. To me, this is
outrageous!
If one wishes to be a Psychic Reader, then one has to have a certain

moral view of the business and that includes being positive in the
content of your readings so that the subject leaves you feeling better
and more optimistic than when they first approached you.
If you feel that is wrong – then you are heading for the wrong
business!
After all, being a good psychic reader can provide you with an
excellent income for life – once you have come to understand the
principles involved. All of which will be known to you by the time
your have read the whole of this book.
If by chance, you are not interested in following this subject as a

career, either part or full time, you may be interested in learning to do
psychic readings on demand as a form of entertainment, then once
again, you will learn all there is to learn by the time you come to the
end of this book.
By being able to do a two or three minute private reading when

requested will cause you to be remembered long after others in the
circle have been forgotten.
How to Give a Reading
People who come to you for a reading will be interested in as I have

already said, themselves, and basically in only three or four other
subjects;
Love or Romance, Health, Money, and Children.
And again, their children will be interested in Love or Romance,

Health, Money, and Children.
You will discover that by closely scrutinising and observing those

people who come to you for a reading will reveal a great lot of
information, even before they open their mouths.
By observing someone’s hands, you will be able to tell if the person is

engaged in manual labour or whether they lead a more comfortable
life.
An Accountant’s hands will look very different from a Farm

Labourer.
Their clothes and appearance should also reveal a host of new clues. It
is always a good idea to learn to evaluate the cost of clothing and the
better known clothing manufacturers so that by looking at someone,
you will be able to evaluate their work – simply from the clothing that
they are wearing.
Jewellery worn by the subject can also help in this and it is good to
remember that often the subject will have forgotten that he/she is
wearing a particular piece of jewellery.
I remember meeting a young woman on one occasion and when I

called her by her given name, she was astounded – yet – she was
wearing her name around her neck for all to see. She had forgotten
that she had it on!
So don’t ever overlook the obvious. You may notice that some men
wear items of jewellery revealing that they belong to the
`Freemasons` or may even be wearing a lapel badge showing
membership or past membership of a particular part of the armed
forces or even the RAOB, the `Buffaloes` to you and me, or some
other organisation.
I have met individuals wearing the lapel badge of a certain Spiritualist

organisation who were really full of themselves, yet in reality
they were about as psychic as me! Nothing! Zilch! Nowt!
Some people may be wearing their birthstone, for example a green

stone for May, and a fair amount of astrological knowledge can help
you no end in determining the individual’s birth month and possibly
their birth-date.
In the above instance, you would also be able to determine that your
subject was either a Taurus or Gemini. A little subtle questioning later
will allow you to discover which.
Normally, when an individual comes to you for a reading, they

believe in your ability to answer their questions and help them with
their problems.
However a part of them is not too sure and they look to you for some
kind of guidance or help – or to prove that you are a fraud!
As you get into this business you will very quickly discover when an
individual is putting you on, or is seeking sincere advice.
Be extremely careful of the advice that you give. Unless you are a
lawyer or a doctor do NOT give legal or medical advice. In our
modern world you could very easily be sued if you gave incorrect
advice on either of these subjects. Just be careful!
You can always suggest that the individual seeking this kind of advice
goes to either a Counsellor, Doctor, or lawyer.
People come to psychic readers for all kinds of different reasons, but
they all want the same answers!
Generally speaking, women tend to have Love on their mind more

than anything else.
Even if she is happily married she is always interested in the thought

of another man in her life; particularly women who have begun to
age. They want to be assured that they are still attractive to the
other sex. Always be reassuring in this context – and if you can `see
another man coming into her life`, then you will have made her day
& another very successful reading!
One of the main secrets of giving successful readings is to get to

know as much as possible about your client before meeting them.
This is not always possible, but let me give you an example. One
evening I was invited to speak at a Ladies Guild Dinner. After I had
finished my talk and was preparing to leave, a lady came up to me and
said, “Okay Mister Clever, tell me my future”.
I looked her straight in the eye and said, “Your are a very artistic and
energetic person who gives of her talents freely and generously. Your
husband is also a teacher, but he is leaving that job to start his own
business …” I went on in this vein for a couple of minutes and at the
end, she was absolutely astonished and thought that I was the best
thing since sliced bread.
How did I do it? I had never seen or spoken to the lady

in my life!
The truth is that during the dinner, I was sitting next to the Chairlady
of the group and during dinner, I remarked on the table decorations.
She pointed out a lady sitting near the end of the table and said, “Oh
yes, Lucy there did all the decorations. She’s very talented and can
always be called on to help us.
She is a school teacher and I don’t know where she finds the time.
Her husband is also a school teacher, but not for much longer as
he’s giving it up to go into business for himself.”
I kept my ears open and with my good memory was able to put the
information to good use when the right occasion arose. If your
memory is not as good as it should be, write down the snippets of
information that you pick up at any gathering as and when you can.
You will quickly discover just how useful these bits of information
can be.
There are many other ways for you to ascertain information about
your subject. Why not try My other two excellent books - No1. “The
Secret Guide To Cold Reading” and No2. “The Talking Tarot”.
These two books, taken together will provide you with all the hidden
knowledge that you will ever need to become a world-beating Psychic
Reader.
You will be able to give first class readings using The Tarot, Crystal
Ball, Runestones, Astrology, in fact just about anything that you can
think of.
In fact I recall many years ago I was working at a very large Psychic
in Bedfordshire. My table was next to a very posh lady who spoke
with plums in her mouth. Well, I was busy for most of the day, but
during one short lull the posh lady spoke to me and exclaimed, “Oh
Mister Merlin you are really wonderful! You read the runes, crystal
ball, tarot cards, and palms and everyone that has a reading from you
seems very satisfied when they leave you. Did it take you years of
practice to learn all these arts and is there anything else that you can
read?”
I was in a bit of a cheery, whimsical mood at this time, so, jokingly, I

replied, in a broad Lancashire accent and in an effort to bring this
posh lady down a peg or two, “Well, if you will go outside and bring
me in a shovel full of `Dog Doo` I’ll tell you the age, colour and
breed of the dog that left it behind.” Howls of laughter greeted this
statement and even the posh lady saw the funny side.
Nonetheless, she would NOT believe me when I told her in

confidence, that in truth I was about as psychic as a Toffee Apple!
You will find the information in the manuals actually worth more than
£5000+ to you as the information within them will help you to make
an absolute fortune in your working life – even if you don’t know
your Tarot from your elbow. (Even AFTER you have read them!)
Okay, let’s press on. You have gathered the necessary information
about your client and you are now going to give them a General
Reading along these lines.
“At the present time you’re troubled, confused, you don’t know where
to turn . You realise that a decision of some sort is imminent. I see
you, during your life, walking a path, a long lonely path. The path
divides, you don’t know which way to turn”
At this point watch your client carefully. They will either nod their
head Yes, or shake their head No or say something. Generally
speaking, most people at any given point in their lives have a
problem, the more vigorously they nod their head, the greater the
problem.
It is necessary during your reading that you make close observations

of your client, they will purposely or inadvertently give you many
clues to what they are looking for.
It is your job to recognise these clues and give them back what they
want. If you wish to see a master at this business, go to see a Gipsy
and pay her the £10 or so for a reading.
The information that you will get will be worth much more than the
money that you will be spending.
To proceed with the reading.
“Things are not progressing financially for you at the moment.”
Generally nobody is doing as well financially as they would like to

be doing. If you get the `No` Head shake on this, you can counter
with,
“You are capable of doing much better financially and I see you doing
much better in the near future.”
This line will usually go down pretty well and if it does, proceed
with,
“I seem to sense that there is some, even though minimal,

dissatisfaction with conditions around you. Although things in your
home are very good, they could be better.”
Who could really object to a statement like that? Things can

always be better.
“You always seem to be held back just before you achieve your goal,
you don’t feel that you are making progress, the amount of progress,
you should be making for the amount of energy expended. You feel
that circumstances around you are unfavourable and you want to
throw off this yoke and express your true self.”
Most people tend to be very inhibited and most people tend to be

unable to express themselves very well.
At this point put in some of the information that you have learned
about the person. If you do as I do and ask the person to write down a
most important question and not let you see it and then through an
impression method (which I will teach you later) find out what this
question is, you will be in a strong position to feed the information
back to your client.
I would start to feed back this information at this time. Notice that I
say `start` to feed the information back.
The reason being that a brief question posed by your client can give
you a load of information that you can talk around for quite a while.
Now for some flattery. No-one objects to flattery.
“Your personal magnetism is quite strong. This is a big factor in

helping you to overcome the adverse obstacles that have put
themselves in your path.”
“You possess the power to fascinate other people with whom you
come into contact, yet you yourself are most susceptible to the
influence of others and usually, not for your own good.”
“You are now in a cycle of unsettled conditions which are slowly

changing for the better. However, rather than just wait and see you
must settle your mind by some logical and decisive action.”
“If you listen carefully, you can still be the master of your fate.”
“I see a figure 87 indicating a relatively long life span. Longer than

most of the people in your family, free from any serious illnesses or
disorders, and when you die, you will simply go to sleep and not wake
up.”
The Correct Atmosphere for Doing a Cold Reading
While the cold reading is used for entertainment purposes, it is most

successful when done on a òne to one` basis. If it not possible to get
your subject alone at least try to get him/her off in a corner of the
room where you will not be disturbed by other members of the group.
You will quickly discover that in a private situation, even the most
blatant sceptic will tend to become a believer.
It is in this setting that you are best able to concentrate on your
subject, picking up the most verbal and non-verbal clues that your
client is giving you.
It is important to know a little about body language. The following are

indications of the way a subject is responding to you.
If they are sitting with their legs apart in a fairly open sitting position,
this generally means that they are open and receptive to you.
If they close up their legs, cross their arm across their chest and
generally take an adamant manner on their face, this means that they
are closing up.
Leaning forward, or leaning forward with the chin resting on their

hand(s) is generally an indication that they are receptive and want to
know more.
You will find that the subject will unconsciously nod Yes or No as
you have Hits or Misses.
It is necessary during the course of the reading to change your

direction and to modify what you say based upon the response that
you get from your client.
Having changed or modified your speech, you continue along that

particular line until you get a negative response (a shake of the head)
and then you proceed in a series of tangents until you hit one after the
other of correct (positive) responses.
Your reading is interspersed with a series of general statements

becoming more and more specific towards each individual.
Basically, what you are doing is working on a descending pyramid.
Starting off with a very broad generalisation becoming slightly more

specific until your subject indicates that you are telling them
something that relates specifically to them and them alone.
A great deal of this methodology becomes unconscious on your part

once you’ve become practiced in the art.
During the course of the response you will note a certain amount of
eye blinking and expressions on the subject’s face.
This is usually indicative of positive responses.
A fixed stare would generally indicate that you are going in the wrong
direction and you would need to change tack.
Once more this is generally best handled in a private situation without

distractions of any kind.
Let us assume that you are giving a general reading for entertainment
purposes only and simply want to give the subject a character reading
about him/herself.
I suggest strongly proceeding along positive lines.
Tell your subject what they want to hear. Project warm glowing
statements about their hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Since the
hopes, dreams and aspirations are the same for all men, you will find
that if you talk about your hopes, dreams and aspirations you will
come very close and hit right on the head 85 to 95 percent of the
hopes, dreams and aspirations of your subjects.
I will give you a series of statements and break them down for you to
explain the psychology behind the reading.
“You are basically a very warm outgoing person with many

acquaintances but very few friends.”
ANALYSIS; This applies to everybody. Many of us have a broad

range of acquaintances but very few we can count on as close
personal friends.
“You are not only a good and loyal and true friend but this friendship
can quickly turn to anger and make you a bitter enemy when someone
has wronged you.”
ANALYSIS: Once more, this usually applies to most people. Nobody

likes to be made a fool of. Nobody likes to be wrong. Everybody likes
to think of themselves as a good and loyal friend.
“You are at a climax, a turning point in your life. Things that you do
within this period will influence the rest of your life. All important
decisions that you now make will prove to be turning points in your
life.”
ANALYSIS: Once more this is true about almost everybody. Any

important decision that you make will definitely affect the rest of your
life.
“You find that your emotions can run to heights and depths rather
than remaining on an even keel. It is generally your own emotions
that have held you back in life. At the same time it’s your intellect and
your emotions that have carried you forward towards whatever you
have achieved.”
ANALYSIS: Once more another generalisation that tends to apply to

everybody.
“You worry a great deal usually about things that never come to pass.
You’re extremely tense and anxious. During these times of tension
and anxiety you tend to get headaches usually centred on one side of
your head rather than the other. Occasionally stomach or back
trouble.”
ANALYSIS: Tension headaches are very common in our society.

Most people tend to have very varied mood planes rather than
remaining on an even keel. The type of person who is on an even or
moderate keel is not the type of person who is coming to you for a
reading.
“Going along this line you need to relax more. Try to get a better
overall view of things, and to put things more in their proper
perspective. Try to delegate more responsibility to others rather than
taking as much on yourself as you do. You tend to be overworked and
overburdened and people tend to take advantage of your good nature.”
ANALYSIS: Everybody feel that they are taken advantage of from

time to time in life. Everybody feels that they are overworked and that
others should do more of their jobs.
“You tend to be a procrastinator. You tend to put off to tomorrow

what you should be doing today. You find that in many cases, you
rush things to get them done and then find that you have to do them
again because you are unsatisfied with the results.”
ANALYSIS: Once more this is a very common trait that most of us

fall victim to. We tend to put off unpleasant tasks until the last
minute.
“You tend to do things on the spur of the moment particularly when it

comes to shopping or buying. Many times you have made a purchase
that you’ve been sorry for, one in the very recent past and you
returned the item that you bought.”
ANALYSIS: All of us tend to be impulse buyers. The stores and

advertisers rely on this and psychological tests have shown that
people walking through a supermarket enter into a state of hypnosis
and walk out of the store after having bought things that they never
realised they had bought or needed.
“I see someone in your future, possibly already in your life, who is

very close to you. This person is short, heavy set, dark hair, dark eyes,
the hair is long and tends to curl up at the bottom.”
ANALYSIS: Watch this one very carefully. What I have just
described is a person totally opposite to the person I ‘m looking at.
Usually a person of this description will be a very close friend of the
person we are working with. In other words, what we are describing is
a person whose description is totally opposite to the person to whom
we are giving the reading. Based on your clients response, you can
continue with this either in a positive or negative way.
“I see a trip coming up in the near future. Within the next year.”
N.B. Watch very carefully on this one. If you get a very positive
response, you know that you have struck a chord.
If it’s a `No` response at al, then modify bit by being a trip, but not of
a long distance and perhaps near to `water`.
“I feel that you are going to receive some unexpected news within the
next seven to fourteen days. The news is neither good nor bad, but it
is quite unexpected. I feel that the news will be by telephone rather
than by mail, but since it is rather vague, it could come to you by
either method.”
ANALYSIS: You said nothing. Everybody receives unexpected news

from someone, someplace and what you have just done is set a self
fulfilling prophecy. They will be looking for unexpected news and
when something turns up they will relate to the fact that you predicted
it.
“You have a great deal of intuitive psychic ability. However, you

have not developed this properly. With proper training and work on
your part you could turn into quite a talented psychic on your own.”
Once more, everybody feels that they have some kind of psychic
ability, because we have all had some sort of inspirational flashes
from time to time.
“I see no major illnesses this year, although there may be some minor
ailment within the next sixty days. Following your doctor’s advice is
the best course of action for you.
NOTE: Please beware of giving medical or legal advice unless you

are an expert in these fields. In other words, if you are a lawyer, give
legal advice. If you are a physician you can give medical advice.
Otherwise unless you want to go to jail, KEEP YOUR MOUTH
SHUT ON THESE TWO SUBJECTS!
A Secret Method of Obtaining Information from your Client
Let me give you an example of a method that I used quite successfully

a fair number of years ago.
The first thing to do is to take out the Blank Card from out of your
Rider Waite Deck of Tarot Cards.
Stick some `clear` sticky backed plastic on the face of the blank Tarot
card and cut it to size.
Next, you have to purchase a `Chinagraph Pencil` with which to write

on the blank card.
You can rub out the Chinagraph writing on the blank card after seeing
each client and the card can be reused many times.
This is the methodology by which I obtain secret information from

my client..
The Sitter is seated opposite the Tarot Reader. The Reader removes
the tarot cards from out of an ornately carved box.
He unwraps the silken cloth from around the cards and spreads them
face up on the surface separating the two people.
“These are the Tarot” he explains,

“The Book of Life. Each one of these cards has both apparent and
occult meaning. For centuries man has used the Tarot to divine the
future and to give him guidance and solutions for his problems.”
Searching through the cards the Reader carefully removes one of the
court cards.
“This,” he explains “is the Significator. It has vibrations that most

closely resemble yours. It will, during this session, represent you.”
Again the Reader peruses the deck and removes the blank card.
Removing the Chinagraph Pen from his pocket he hands both the card
and the pen to the client.
He says,
“Please print the most important question that you would like
answered in a few words on this card. Please do NOT let me see what
you have written. When you have finished writing your target
question please turn it face down on the table.”
(If you are asked why the need to write, you reply that by writing
down a question it allows the mind to concentrate on that subject
much better. This is pure flannel, but it seems to satisfy the sitter.)
When the card has been written and turned face down on the table, the
balance of the Tarot Deck is handed to the sitter to shuffle and to cut
in the usual way.
The Reader now says, “Now that the cards have been shuffled, will
you please cut the cards three times to the left and restack the pack.
Will you now place your question card somewhere in the pack, but
please do not let me see it.”
When this has all been done, the Reader says, “You are now in the
third cycle of your life approaching the fourth cycle of your life which
is a turning point in your life. Many of the things that you have been
working and striving for will start to resolve themselves during this
cycle. However, in order for them to work in your favour direct
decisions will have to be made by you.”
As the Reader has been talking he has been laying out a pattern of
Tarot Cards . As this layout is completed the Reader begins to answer
the specific question that was written but never seen by him/her. After
answering the questions he continues with the general reading and
concludes the session.
The method is simplicity in itself by covering the Blank Card in the

Rider Waite Tarot Deck it gives you a `thick` card that easily be
located.
(Try it out yourself and get used to handling the deck with the thick
card)
After the thick card has been inserted into the deck you can control
this card to the bottom of the deck by any means at your disposal,
however, a word of caution, it should appear as if the order of the
cards has not been changed.
All that I do is reach out and cut a group of cards off the tabled deck.
The `Pick a Question Card` forms a natural break but be careful not to
flash the face as you lift it away from the tabled deck. This is the most
casual movement in the world and there is no need to make a move
out of it.
It is also very simple to glance at the question as you deal out the
Tarot Layout.
Any remaining cards after you have completed the layout can be
replaced on the top of the tabled face down deck.
The remainder is a psychological and then a cold reading based on the

information that you have gleaned from the sitter.
All the best in the world to you and may all your readings be perfect.
(which they will after a little practice with this special card.)

The Secret Gipsy Guide to `Cold Reading`
or
How Anyone Can Learn To Tell Fortunes Easily
With Great Accuracy
By “Merlin” aka “Hobrin” aka “The Late Brian Howard”
INTRODUCTION
This book is not intended to be a masterpiece of literary excellence,

nor even an exercise in written English as I am not qualified to
attempt either.
I intend this book for anyone who would like to turn their mind and
hands towards making a pretty fair living as a `Fortune Teller`, either
part-time or even full-time.
It is my hope that it will provide you with enough information to
allow you to go out into the big wide world and start to earn an
honest? crust of bread.
The reason that this book is intended for you, the reader, is because I
already know a little about you.
I know that you have a rather pleasant personality, that you are above
average intelligence, that you already have an open mind and that you
are interested in the occult and the psychic sciences.
You are basically a kindly person who would not willingly hurt any
creature in any way. You appear to be interested in your fellow
citizens and are sympathetic towards their problems and their needs.
You are always prepared to help in any way that you can when asked,
and you would willingly go out of your way to do someone a
kindness.
You are an individual who is aware of the possibilities of psychic
phenomena and you may have experienced at least one psychic or
spiritual experience.
All in all, you appear to have all the qualities needed to become a very
successful Cold Reader.
By the way – Are you wondering just how I seem to know so much
about you?
Well, as you go through the rest of this book you will find out – AND
– you will be able to do exactly the same – EASILY!
I rather think that you would like to get on with the meat of this book
and learn the techniques necessary towards Making Money from
Reading Other Peoples Fortunes.
FOREWORD
I have been extremely successful in doing Cold Readings for many

years, in my home town, the surrounding district, and at numerous
Psychic Fairs all over the United Kingdom.
I have built up a very fine reputation and have been kept very busy
reading the tarot cards for groups of ladies in their own homes, with
many return visits being requested.
I have also lectured on the Psychic Phenomena in many places and
have always been treated a bit like royalty.
However, now that I am well into my `seventies` I have retired from
àctive service` (as you might call it), but I would not like all my
many methods of making money by doing `Readings` lost forever,
and so I am writing this book so that I may pass on my many years of
experience to you so that you can now benefit financially from it, as I
have done for many years.
It all started for me many years ago when I did a lecture on “The
Power Of The Human Mind” at a local Women’s Institute and I was
asked “If I did `Readings”. I immediately replied in the affirmative,
even though I had never given a reading in my life.
I had worked as a Mentalist & Mind Reader in Clubs and Theatres
and was pretty quick at thinking on my feet, so to speak, and had done
many shows that involved a Question and Answer Routine.
So whilst I have never given a Reading in my life, I was pretty
optimistic that I would be able to give a good account of myself.
I would suppose that you have already guessed – I am NOT Psychic –
NEVER have been – nor am I ever likely to become Psychic.
So if you are thinking that because you are not psychic, it will prevent
you from working as a Psychic Reader – forget it. I WILL teach you
all that you need to know in this book.
You WILL be earning money from giving excellent Psychic Readings
by the time you have finished studying this book. So There!!
Getting back to my story. I had never given a Psychic Reading to
anyone and I didn’t even own a pack of Tarot cards – AND – I
wouldn’t have known what to do with them if I had a pack!
However, I went out the next day a bought a pack of Rider Waite
Tarot cards. These are the cards that I used for many years and if you
will be advised by me – an expert, this is the pack that you will buy.
I also bought the book on this particular pack by A. E. Waite.I spent
the best part of the next few days boning up on the meanings of the
various cards.
I was quite confident about doing the readings on the coming night; as
being a working Mentalist (Magician-Mind Reader) I had got used to
thinking on my feet and having spent the greater part of my working
life as a Detective in a large police force until retirement,
I was used to listening to what people said – and more importantly, to
what they didn’t say and forming reasonably accurate conclusions.
A little knowledge of body language was also a great help to me, in
as much as deciding when a person was agreeing or disagreeing with
whatever I was saying.
Sufficient to say – on the night in question, I gave about twelve very
creditable Tarot card Readings, the ladies were very impressed and
asked me to come back again later in the year.
I also picked up a very nice £120 for about three hours work. As I
said before – this was at least 25 years ago (1977) and it was a pretty
fair amount of cash for one evening’s work. Don’t you agree?
This night’s work opened up a brand new world for me and I decided
that I would start to offer a regular Tarot Reading Service as a
supplement to my regular Mentalist Act in the Clubs etc.
Having made the decision, I scoured all the book catalogues in an
effort to find material that would help me to get my new project off
the ground.
Some of the books that I read we re of a little use to me, but most of
them were absolutely useless.
All presupposed that one understood the basics of `Cold Reading`
(The reading of someone you have never met before and of whom
you know nothing) Nowhere could I find a book or treatise on the
simple basics of this particular art.
How does one make a start? What does one look for when first
meeting a client? How can one structure a reading in such a way that
it does not sound the same each and every time?
Finally I decided that I did not want to learn a `Spiel` or Routine that
could be given to everyone regardless of which strata of society they
belonged to.
Through trial and error I eventually worked out a system that worked
for me – will work for you and will work for anyone.
Now you have my system before you. This book will teach you the
absolute basics and it will help you to become extremely proficient in
your new chosen career as a successful Psychic Reader.
So read on and learn how to make money easily!
CHAPTER ONE
The Qualities Need To Become a Successful Psychic Reader.
As I said in the Introduction to this book, you already posses some of

the qualities needed and indeed are the stock in trade of the
Professional Psychic Reader.
Let me say at the outset that the main essential of a much sought after
Reader, is PERSONALITY. You must possess or you must develop a
pleasant personality.
You must be able to meet strangers confidently and with a pleasant
smile. You must develop a charming manner and have the ability to
compliment a complete stranger, usually a lady, upon her appearance,
on her motor car, her garden and her home within minutes of first
meeting her for the first time, without sounding false, or without
showing any signs of self-consciousness.
Most importantly, you must learn to do all these things in such a
sincere and disarming way that such compliments are never taken by
the recipient in any worrying way.
For the men reading this book. Your compliments should never be
made in any way that might suggest that you are `making a Pass`.
Remember, you are supposed to be a Professional, going into the
home of a perfect stranger to do your work. Of course the situation
will be very much like a social occasion, but you must constantly
remind yourself that you are there to do your work and you know
what they say about mixing work and pleasure.
If you forget this most important point, your career as a successful
Psychic Reader will quickly evaporate into thin air and the study that
you are putting into this book, will come to nought!
As part of your personality, you must also develop the art of
practising `sincerity` and `sympathy`. You must try to understand
your client’s point of view. If you can successfully put yourself into
your client’s situation, you will be in a much better position to offer
constructive help and advice.
It is imperative that you establish an early rapport with each of your
clients as soon as possible after meeting them.
Have you ever met someone with a limp handshake? Something that
felt rather like a soft fish when you shook hands? If so, you will
realize the importance of having a firm handshake.
It will not be necessary for you to crush the other persons hand in
your grip, but a firm handshake and the establishing of eye to eye
contact on meeting your client for the first time will go a long way
towards establishing the correct relationship between you. It will help
you to assert dominance in the relationship and this will help your
client to have more confidence in you.
In this way, your client will be more inclined towards trusting your
judgement and listening to what you have to say.
I think that at this point I should say a few words on the subject of
`Dress`.
It is no good at all, going to the home of a complete stranger in the
role of a Psychic Reader and looking like something that the cat has
just dragged in.
I realize that this point should be elementary, but you would be
surprised at the number of Readers who turn up at people’s homes
looking just like that.
I have often been told by my clients of a Reader who appeared
looking as though he had just come out of prison. Needless to say, he
did NOT get invited in through the front door – nor even the back
door!
APPEARANCE IS IMPORTANT!
FOR THE MEN.
I never advocate the theatrical, so forget all about gold earrings and
coloured silks around your throat or on your head. A smart Business
Suit, well polished shoes, a clean and neatly ironed shirt and a tie is
what is really needed. Even if the weather is hot WEAR A TIE! It can
always be taken off later on if need be. The object of the exercise
should be to look as much like any other successful professional
person visiting the house. You will then always be admitted to the
house and made welcome.
FOR THE LADIES.
Casual but smart clothes should be the order of the day. A nice
Business Suit or a smart dress if the weather is warm. A neatly ironed
blouse or shirt, clean and unwrinkled tights or stockings and clean and
polished shoes. Don’t try to be Gipsy Rose Lee – unless of course
that’s who you really are. Clients want you to look a normal as
possible (whatever `normal` is) so put away any pretensions to being
something that you are not.
YOU WILL BE BETTER APPRECIATED – Believe Me!
One final word on the impression that you are trying to give when
first meeting your clients.
NEVER VISIT THE HOME OF A CLIENT SMELLING OF
ALCOHOL!!!
A Big, Big No! No! AND never accept alcohol to drink whilst you are
there.
You may well find on many occasions when you visit someone’s
home to do your work, that a group of ladies have got together there
and each has brought a bottle of something alcoholic to drink. They
are in the mood to enjoy themselves, have a few drinks, some pleasant
conversation and to have their fortune told.
If you accept one alcoholic drink from them, you may find it difficult
to refuse a second … and possibly a third, particularly if the ladies
have been freely imbibing and you could very well find your presence
difficult to explain should the hostess’s husband return later in the
evening and you smell as though you have slept in a brewery.
If a cup of Tea or Coffee is offered to you on your arrival, you may
accept it, but if you are offered alcohol you should politely refuse it
and ask if you might have a glass of water instead with which to
refresh yourself during the course of the evening.
You are, after all, at work and one should not drink on the job. Plenty
of time for that later on – and the money to do it with! Thanks to your
successful Readings!
Learn to develop your observational and memory skills. You will
need to know something about your clients as soon as is practicable
when visiting their home to ply your trade.
Upon arrival at the house where you are to work, take a good look at
the front of the house. If it has a garden, take a look at that first. Is it
well tended or is it overgrown and neglected?
This should start to tell you something about the occupants. If the
house has no garden, still look at the front of the house. Is the
paintwork on the doors and windows in good condition, or does it
appear to be neglected?
Is Double Glazing present? If so are all the windows and front door
double glazed?
Look at the windows. Are they clean and neat with clean curtains or
are they grubby and untidy?
Once again you should be forming some opinions about the occupants
of the house.
Look quickly at any motor cars outside the house or on the driveway.
Can you see any `Hobby` Stickers; the local Gliding Club, Social
Club, Metal Detecting Club, Angling Club, or even `Visited Stickers`.
“We’ve seen the Lions at Longleat” Blackpool, London, Benidorm,
Canada or any other place that the family may have visited for their
holidays.
Can you see any Disabled badges? Private parking Badges? The
Town Hall car Park for instance? Doctor parking? Or any other clue
about the house that you are visiting.
Do LOOK!
These things are very helpful because by now you should have a good
idea of the sort of people that you are going to meet.
You can now ring the doorbell, knock at the Knocker or even Kick at
the door (only joking). Have a good look at the person who answers
the door. Try to form an opinion about the person answering the door.
If she is a lady, is she pleasant looking with a nice smile, or is she
surly looking?
Does she have a pleasant or a rough speaking voice. Is there any
evidence of a regional or foreign accent? Remember everything you
can about her.
Smile and greet her with a pleasant “Good Evening Mrs Jones” (or
whatever name you have been given for the occupant of the house).
Watch for her reaction and listen to what she says. She may reply,
“I’m not Mrs Jones, she’s in the house, I’m Irene.” Remember who
Irene is, it could come in handy when you are reading for the
occupant of the house, Mrs Jones, particularly if no other names are
mentioned before you begin your work. You can be sure that Ìrene`
has forgotten that she said “I’m Irene” when first you met, but YOU
must remember it!
Once inside the house, have a good look round the room to which you
are first invited. Look for any collections of small ornaments, any
paintings or pictures on the walls. What are the subjects? Are the
pictures all of steam engines, could that suggest a link with the
railways?
Conversely, are the pictures of sailing ships, a frustrated seaman
perhaps?
Are the paintings originals, painted by some amateur or a member of
the family perhaps?
Take a good quick look at any photographs in the room. Husband,
children, grand-children; or even notice the absence of photographs.
What about books in the room? Are they all from Book Clubs, or are
they a variety of hard and soft backed copies? Are they thematic, or
are they mixed, fiction as well as serious subjects? Do they appear to
have been read, or are they simply ornaments.
Notice the quality of the furniture, carpets, and curtains. Do they
appear to be expensive or cheap?
The room into which you will be first invited will probably be the
main room in the house and people usually stamp their own
personality on that room, more than any other, so by looking and
noticing everything in that room you should be able to find out quite a
lot about the people who live there.
How will this knowledge help you to know something about the other
people for whom you are going to read that evening?
Remember the old saying – “Birds of a feather – flock together”. You
will most probably find that most of the ladies gathered together in
the house are from similar backgrounds and may even all work
together.
A `Gaggle of Civil Servants`, a `Pride of Prison Officers` or an `
Exaltation of Nurses`, or whatever the correct collective noun may be.
Can you see how much you have learned about the group that you are
about to read for and the only thing that has been said to you is “I’m
not Mrs Jones, she’s in the house, I’m Irene”?
It is always best to ask if there is a separate room where the actual
readings can take place, so that they remain private and confidential.
Usually, you will be offered a dining room or a kitchen, but don’t be
too surprised if one day you are asked to do your work in a bedroom.
(I’ve done some of my best work in a bedroom!!!) (LAUGH!)
I now suggest that we go on to the actual mechanics of giving a
`reading` for a complete stranger.
CHAPTER TWO
“The Reading”
I am going to assume that you will be doing Tarot Card Readings

initially, at least until you become familiar with going out and doing
readings for people.
It has been my experience that the tarot is the most useful tool in the
armoury of a Psychic Reader – and I have used them all.
Whatever room in the house that you are offered, try to arrange things
so that there is a small table and two chairs. Make sure that you get
the most comfortable chair as you will be sitting on it for a few hours.
Carry with you a piece of dark coloured velvet, some 24 inches by 18
inches upon which to lay out your Tarot cards. This looks very
professional and it helps to keep your Tarot Cards clean and free from
grease and whatever else may have been spilled on the table top
before your arrival.
You should also carry with you a number of Business cards which
shows your Professional name and telephone number. This is so that
you can give each client two or three of your business cards at the
conclusion of each reading.
The reason for this, is that on the following day when your client is
back at work and telling her friends what a fantastic Psychic you are,
she can hand out one or more of your business cards and in this way
act as your unpaid Publicity Agent! Smart Eh?
This is a sure fire way of getting more and more work. Try to get your
business cards printed as cheaply as possible and don’t worry about
them being a cheap job, because you will give away two or three
thousand in a year, but they will prove to be an excellent investment.
Take your pack of tarot cards out of the case and lay them face down
on your velvet cloth, which you have already placed upon the table in
readiness and invite your first client in. You are all ready to begin.
Read all of the following very carefully as it is the most important
part and it teaches you the basic formula to be followed in ALL your
Tarot Readings.
As the client enters, stand up, smile and extend your right hand in
order to shake hands. As you shake hands, look your client directly in
the eyes and say, “Good Evening” (or whatever time of day it is) “I’m
so happy to see you.” This helps to establish immediate rapport
between you and your client. Offer the other chair and when you are
both seated, pick up your Tarot Cards and begin to shuffle them and
then say,
“Have you had your Tarot read before?”
Look at your client as she answers…..
If she says “Yes”, notice the position of her eyes in their sockets as
she answers. Notice also the inclination of her head and her general
posture.
Now ask her another question to which you might reasonably expect
another affirmative answer, for example, “Did most of it come true?”
Once again you must watch for the position of her eyes in their
sockets and the inclination of her head as she answers, because these
observations will always tell you when she is saying “Yes” or
agreeing with what you are saying even if she NEVER speaks a word!
What if she answers “No” to the first question. The same principle
applies. Look at the position of the eyes in their sockets and the
inclination of her head and her general posture as she answers. Now
ask her another question to which you might reasonably expect a
“No” answer, such as, “Have you really not been bothered about it
before?”
Once again look for the same signs and now you will know when she
is saying “No” or disagreeing with you even if she never says another
word.
During your client’s entry into the room and your short conversation,
you should be noticing various things about her.
Starting at her head, is her hair a natural colour, or is it dyed? Is it
worn in a simple style or is it expensively permed and styled, or is it
uncombed and uncared for?
What is her face like? Plain, pretty or maturely attractive? Is her
makeup carefully applied, or is it just `slapped on`?
Is her clothing òff the peg` or is it expensively fashionable? Do the
colours and the accessories match? What colours is she wearing? Is
she wearing something light-coloured, pretty, floral, or is her clothing
dark coloured and sombre? Does she seem to prefer wearing a dress,
or is she wearing a suit?
What is the condition of her shoes, stockings or Tights? Are her shoes
scuffed, or are they nicely polished and clean? Are her stockings or
Tights in good and clean condition, or are they laddered and wrinkled.
Can you now see how it is possible for you to learn something about
someone simply by observing a few things about them.
If a client came to see me with her hair awry, her makeup slapped on,
her stockings laddered, her shoes dirty and scuffed and wearing a dark
or black dress; I’m sure that it would quickly indicate the frame of
mind that this lady was in at the time.
My immediate reaction would be, “This lady is either poverty
stricken, or is in big trouble and is looking to me for help.” It would
then be up to me to discover which and to offer to her whatever
advice and counsel most suited to her needs at that particular time.
At this juncture, pick up your tarot cards from the table and say to
your client, “Give me your left hand.” Place the cards into her hand
and at the same time, look at the hand. Look at the fingernails. Are
they chewed down, or are they nicely manicured and polished?
Look at the skin on the palm of her hand. Is it hard and roughened, or
is it well kept, soft and smooth?
Look at the rings on her fingers. Is she wearing a wedding ring, an
engagement ring, or is there an indentation on the ring finger which
could indicate that she has just removed a ring from that finger.
What other jewellery is worn on the fingers or wrist of that hand? Is
the jewellery gold, silver or some other metal?
The amount and quality of the jewellery worn by a lady usually
indicates the love and esteem that the man in her life holds for her.
The absence of a wedding ring does not necessarily indicate that the
lady is a spinster. She may be widowed or divorced. However, in
most cases, widows usually continue to wear their wedding and
engagement rings, so don’t jump to any hasty conclusions.
The absence of a wedding ring on the finger of a mature woman
usually indicates that she is either divorced or separated.
It has taken me some time to explain what you are to look for, but
your glance at her hand as you place the cards into it, should allow
you to note all these things in a short moment.
Having placed the cards in her hand, you should now say to her, “Will
you please shuffle the cards for me,” and as she does so you should
take similar notice of her right hand. (Crafty aint we?)
Whilst she is shuffling the cards, you can take notice of her neck. Is
she wearing a necklace, a pendant, a birth sign, or a name? You may
be surprised to learn the number of people who forget that they are
wearing their birth sign or their name around their neck. Believe me,
it’s true!
A birth sign or a name around the neck of a client can be very useful
to you during a reading, particularly if you know a little about
Astrology and you are able to give a few details about the
characteristics of her birth sign.
(See the later chapter on Astrology where I will give you all the tools
you need to succeed!)
The number of times that such a situation has been presented to me
are countless and when I have used that information in a reading, it
has created absolute wonderment in the client’s mind. They usually
say something like, “Well, how on earth did you know that I’m a
Libra”, or whatever sign it was. They usually continue with, “Well
now I know that whatever you say will be correct.”
This happens simply because she has forgotten that she is wearing her
birth sign round her neck. They say that familiarity breeds contempt –
I say it breeds forgetfulness!
The point is, never overlook the obvious.
By this time we should have the cards shuffled and you should now
say,
“Will you please place the cards face down onto the velvet cloth with
your left hand.”
When this has been done, you say,
“Will you please cut the cards into three piles, once again with your
left hand. ”If asked why the left hand, I usually say, “Because it’s
nearer to the heart and therefore controls your emotions.” This seems
to satisfy my clients and probably seems logical to them.
Once the cards are lying face down on the velvet cloth in three piles,
we can use a very effective tool. We ask a question.
Now don’t be put off by the apparent recklessness of this procedure.
At this point in the reading, it is far better to ask a question rather than
to resort to some deception in order to acquire some additional
information.
You see, little by little you have been building up a relationship
between yourself and your client to the point where she is beginning
to forget that you are a Tarot Reader and she is beginning to see you
in the light of a friend and confidante.
Therefore it would be appropriate to ask the question at this time,
provided you offer her some safeguards.
I always ask this important question in this fashion – “In addition to
reasonably accurately forecasting future trends in your life, the Tarot
is also capable of answering questions. If you have an important
question that you would like to ask me, or if there is something that is
really worrying you, we could perhaps look together at the Tarot for
some answers to your problem.”
Perhaps you should remember that your client wants you to help her
with whatever problems she may have. She wants to be able to talk
them over with you, provided you can create the right climate for her
to do so and this is what you have been attempting to do since first
meeting her.
You have been polite, friendly and smiling. If you have been
successful in creating the correct atmosphere, then perhaps now is the
right time to offer her that little extra service and help, by giving her
the opportunity to tell you what it is that is bothering her.
As you put the question to her, look her in the face and smile in a
friendly fashion. At the same time notice the expressions that appear
there.
Does she appear anxious, worried, unhappy, or does she look as
though she hasn’t got a care in the world. If her look tells you that she
doesn’t appear to have any major worries, you can quickly follow
your question with, “I thought that you didn’t have any major
problems at this time – and I was right, wasn’t I?”
If on the other hand she is worried about something, believe me it will
come flooding out now!
By this time you should be able to put your client into her correct
`pigeon hole` with regards to her personality, type of work she’s
engaged in, probable financial status and particulars of any immediate
problems that may be bothering her at the time.
It might be pertinent at this moment in time, to draw your attention to
an old truth; “in as much as we are all different – we are all also the
same!”
Read that again and remember it! The things that bother and worry
you are the same things that bother and worry me. The solutions that
would help me to overcome my worries and problems would probably
help you to overcome your worries and problems as well.
By your knowledge of this simple fact, you should be able to offer
sound, constructive and personal pertinent advice which should help
your client. After all, that is largely the reason that Psychic Readers,
Astrologers and Psychic Consultants et. al. exist. Isn’t it?
Now might be a good time to take a look at the `form` that the
Reading will take so that you will have a foundation upon which to
build the edifice that will be a successful psychic reading, not only for
yourself, but for your client also.
The Foundation
Divide your reading into roughly six parts, as shown here:
(1) Assessment of the character of the client.
(2) Health and possible length of life.
(3) Social Life, Activities including Holidays and trips abroad.
(4) Work and professional prospects.
(5) Financial Prospects.

(6) Love-life, Marriage and children.
You are now ready to start.
Pick up the Tarot cards from the three piles to make a complete pack.
Place the full deck face down in the left hand and commence to deal
the cards, face up onto the velvet cloth in the traditional Celtic Cross
formation. (see diagram later)
The cards are placed face up in this formation, mainly as an aid to
your concentration. Most of the things that you will say will come
mainly as the result of the knowledge that you have gained of your
client and with the judicious use of your five senses and a fair helping
of wit, bare assed luck and inspiration.
When the ten cards have been placed face up on the cloth in the
manner described, look at them, concentrate for a few moments,
building up the tension – then look at your client, smile – and begin to
speak …..
CHAPTER THREE
Contents of the Reading.
The actual content of the reading must mainly depend on your own
personality and what you have already learned about your client.
You may find that the best way of presenting it will come by way of
trial and error.
Using the words of others that you have learned `parrot fashion` may
not be the best way, as the words offered for use may not be words
that you would normally use in your vocabulary and this difference
would certainly be noticed.
The best advice that I can give you on this subject is, BE YOURSELF
– USE WORDS THAT YOU NORMALLY USE AND ARE
FAMILIAR WITH.
If you will do this, you will very quickly develop your own style of
giving readings and they will sound much more genuine and sincere.
After all, you will have the six points of the foundation to keep you on
track – you only need the `padding`.
I will give you some examples under each of the six headings. You
will need to assimilate them and then alter the words to suit your own
personality and style.
However, you will need to remember the more salient points of the
reading. You will find that what I have given you is the very basics of
what you will need, but there will be much more that you can add to it
by way of àsides`.
Once your client start to talk to you, you will find it very easy to
amplify the basics that I have given you to make your reading last
easily for twenty or thirty minutes or perhaps even longer.
Every individual that comes to you for a reading will need to leave
you feeling more confident about the future afterwards.
It will always be necessary for you to inject some positive suggestions
into your readings.
Remember – You are a Sower of Seeds into the sub consciousness of
your client and these seeds, if planted well, will germinate, grow and
bear fruit.
These seeds that you sow will have to be positive and optimistic ones.
It should be your rule to motivate all the individuals coming to see
you, to overcome their present difficulties, whether they be domestic,
social or financial. By showing your clients how they can firstly
understand and then overcome their problems, you will be helping
them to help themselves towards a happier and more successful
future. So Plant those seeds well!
The following is an example of a Tarot Reading using as its base the
Six Point Foundation. It includes a number of adjectives which may
be used to describe your client. You may use any of them, all of them,
or any combination of them, or you may use any of your own choice
where you think it suitable. In this way, you will be able to tailor the
reading to your own style and the needs of your client.
You will readily notice that the frame of the reading will remain much
the same for each individual, but it may be `juggled` with in order to
produce a reading suitable to each client.
In addition to the basic reading there will be a tremendous amount of
`feedback` from your client, which, if seized upon can provide more
fodder for your reading and it will help you to make it more
individual.
Despite the fact that all the readings that I have done are based on the
Six Point Foundation, each is tailored for the person that I am with at
the time.
(1) Assessment of the character of the individual:
Look at the cards spread out on the velvet cloth, pause for a moment,
then look at your indicate client, smile and start to speak:….
Your cards indicate that you are a (happy, gregarious, sociable, party
loving, hospitable, individual) who gets along with other people pretty
exceptionally well.”
You appear to be (practical, down-to-earth, adaptable, able, capable,
energetic) and you (always finish the things you start, tend to be slow
at starting new projects, tend to start new projects and don’t finish
them).
You appear to be latently psychic and I suspect that you have already
had at least one psychic or spiritual experience, even if only in the
sense that the telephone rang and you knew instinctively who was on
the other end of the line before answering it; or, you have found
yourself thinking of a particular person and quite unexpectedly, that
person has either telephoned or visited you. This indicates to me that
you latent psychic ability might be usefully directed towards
(Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Healing, or doing Psychic Readings for
others).
As I said, you appear to be latently psychic and whether you decide to
develop your talent will be a matter for you and since you appear to
be going through a busy time at present, it may be something for you
to think about as you get a little older.
You appear to be appreciative of lovely things and you might even be
a bit of a collector.
In your dealings with others you appear to be, (sympathetic, helpful,
understanding, reserved, cool, friendly), but you seem to (rush into
friendships) take your time making friends). With regards to your
attitude towards making money you seem to be, (careful, impulsive,
frugal, spendthrift), but rightly or wrongly, it’s just the way you were
made.”
During the reading, you should have been looking at your client the
whole time with your peripheral vision (out of the corner of your eye)
and watching out for signs of agreement or disagreement.
Where such visual signs occur, you can elaborate further on that
particular aspect of the reading, provided that the sign was one of
agreement and as you do so, you can expect some further verbal or
visual input from your client. This will help you to further expand that
particular aspect.
Where the sign is one of disagreement, you should be able to change
direction until you start to get the signs of agreement again.
During the assessment of your client’s character you could usefully
use the information resulting from her wearing her birth sign around
her neck.
Don’t just jump in and blurt out, “I think that you are a Libra, or
whatever the sign happens to be”. I would always be happier making
up a little story about the birth sign, rather like the following:
“You appear to be an individual who appreciates a little peace and
quiet. You have a lot of love to give to the really important people in
your life, but I get a strong impression that you need a lot of
reassuring that you are loved in return. You would/will (depending on
whether she has children or not) make a very easy-going mother and
would be happy leaving the disciplining of the children to your
husband or partner.
Would you agree with what I have said?
You ought to as I think these things would suit you astrologically as I
suspect that you are a Libra (or whatever) Am I correct?”
As you finish this analysis, you should look directly at her, smile in a
friendly fashion and by this act it appears that you expect an answer.
You will get one … and … perhaps even a further contribution which
you can use later on in the reading.
You may have gathered by now that a Psychic Reader depends to a
large extent on being `fed` by his client. Such information given to
you by way of your client’s contributions will be quickly forgotten by
her and after a suitable interval, (after she has forgotten that she told
you) you can give the information back to her .
However, change it around a little or a lot depending on your own
taste and when it doesn’t seem obvious, return it to the sender with a
smile!
By now you will be thinking to yourself, “This guy does a lot of
smiling”.
That is correct. Remember, it is difficult to quarrel with someone who
is smiling at you in a friendly fashion, even if you do not agree with
everything that he is saying.
I am not suggesting that you sit there grinning like an idiot, but I do
want you to understand what a useful tool a smile is. A smile that
silently says “I’m your friend and I’m here to help you all I can,
because I understand your problems and the pressures that you are
subject to.”
I must impress upon you that during the time spent with your client,
you should seriously endeavour to be their best friend by offering
honest and practical advice. You should be very busy sowing those
positive and optimistic seeds and doing your level best to build up
your client’s opinion of themselves, so that they leave you feeling far
more confident than when they arrived.
Anecdotes (little stories) can be a great help in illustrating a helpful
point.
If you haven’t got one then – MAKE ONE UP – after all as a Psychic
Reader you should be a wonderful story teller!
(2) health and possible length or life.
First and foremost, it is important for you to realise that you are NOT
a medical doctor and because of this fact, you can be on a very sticky
wicket if you start to diagnose or offer to treat ailments.
Nonetheless, within the limits of what you are allowed to do, you can
accomplish much to help alleviate illness and suffering.
There is a long held belief that physical illness and disease could be
better described as `dis-ease within the mind`. It is widely believed
that illness strikes us when we are in a poor emotional condition, or
when our lives are unhappy or unsettled.
The illness is fed by our negative attitudes and thus, the body’s
natural ability to heal itself is rendered less able to operate effectively.
(Perhaps you would benefit from reading my book on `Noesitherapy`
Healing by the power of the mind)
Unless the cycle of ùnhappiness` - ìllness` - pessimism –
unhappiness is broken, the body will have no chance of repairing
itself.
Therefore you have the responsibility of inculcating into the mind of
your client a very positive attitude towards emotional and physical
health.
We read of apparent `miracle cures` at places like Lourdes and other
religious shrines and even at public demonstrations of `Faith` and
`Spirit Healing`. It is not my role to denigrate those apparent cures; In
fact I applaud them as they tend to prove my point, but it is interesting
to note what they all have in common. It can probably be best
described as `the expectancy of success`.
The mind of the sufferer is constantly being bombarded with positive
mental images of a cure being effected.
As the months, weeks and days go by towards the day that the remedy
is to be attempted, the body’s natural ability to heal itself is already
working overtime.
By the time the cure is tried, all the natural healing forces of the body
burst forth together in one massive injection of healing. The result
appears to be a spontaneous healing.
Understanding this principle of self-healing, we can now use our
verbal skills to improve the general health and well-being of the
clients that we see.
Unless a person is chronically or terminally sick, nothing of value can
be achieved by forecasting sickness or death. In fact, the simple act of
forecasting such events can actually cause them to happen as many of
the things that we say during a Psychic Reading can very easily
become self-fulfilling prophesies, so be extremely careful about
forecasting doom and gloom.
My wording for this part of the reading usually follows along these
lines, but I would suggest that you use your own words. Read the
following carefully, take note of the pauses as they are most important
and be prepared to change tack if necessary.
“From the formation of these cards I feel that your health is basically
good.”
Pause and with your peripheral vision ascertain if your client is
agreeing or disagreeing with you. If the former is the case then
continue,
“Physically you appear to be very strong and healthy.”
As you say the word `physically` watch for a reaction from your
client. You may get a reaction from your client that agreeing with
your assessment of her physical condition, but that she has an
emotional problem. Consider the possibility of domestic difficulties.
You will be able to use this information later on when you deal with
love and marriage`.
If there is no reaction when you use the word `physically` it may
indicate that she is emotionally sound as well as being physically
sound.
On the other hand, you may get some very slight evidence of
disagreement, in this case, carry on carefully in this way…..
“As I said, you appear to be basically strong and healthy, but there is
also an indication of some little problem concerning a minor
difficulty. Am I right?”
This will be an excellent cue, in nine cases out of ten, to tell you of an
illness or whatever else may be worrying her. If she happens to be the
tenth case and says nothing – look her in the eye, smile and say, “Is
there not some little thing worrying you at the present time?” She will
now get it off her chest and you can continue …
“Yes, I appreciate that you must be concerned about that, but the
cards indicate that you are/ have been receiving the best possible
treatment possible. However, the indications are that you are entering
into a most favourable period and therefore, I am sure that you will
make/ have made a complete recovery.”
“It is important that you continue to have faith in your doctor and his
treatment. I just know that all will be well in this case. I see no further
health problems for you in the foreseeable future and I feel that your
life will be very long indeed. I also see that you will remain
reasonably fit and vigorous in mind and body, neither do I see a long
and protracted illness preceding your passing into spirit, I feel that
you will simply close your eyes and go to sleep. Happily though, not
for a very long time yet.”
Look at your client, smile and be prepared to deal with any further
`feedback`.
It may be necessary for you to add to, or delete some of the foregoing
to suit your individual client, but nevertheless, the format should in
most cases be based upon what I have written.
Most people fear Cancer and by you saying “I do not see a long and
protracted illness before your passing,” helps to remove that particular
fear and will prevent them dwelling too much on this aspect of their
health. As the result, the risk of contracting Cancer does in itself
become minimised.
You can believe that!
A large number of people fear the thought of becoming disabled or
geriatric as they grow older and by you saying, “I feel that you will
remain reasonably fit and vigorous in mind and body as you grow
older,” again helps to remove that unspoken fear from their lives.
Because they now believe that they are unlikely to contract Cancer or
become a `basket case`, they will tend to deal more effectively with
whatever ailments do come along in their lives. Às we think, so we
become`!
The inculcating of a positive mental attitude towards health in the
mind of your client will ensure, in most cases, that they will live
fuller, healthier and happier lives.
During this part of the reading, there is much more that you can say,
but it will depend on your client and upon how observant and
sympathetic you are.
I never encounter problems by asking the odd question, as long as
there are not too many of them!
Your attitude towards your client will very quickly determine at what
stage they will be prepared to talk to you as a friend and believe what
you say to them. Once you have arrived at this stage in the
relationship, you will find that your client will talk to you about the
most intimate and personal details of their lives.
The problem may well prove to be stopping them from talking.
(3) Social Life and activities, including holidays and
Trips At Home and Abroad.
During this part of the reading, you can allow your imagination to run
riot.
Since trips and holidays abroad are now well within the reach of most
of us, a trip abroad is always a reasonably safe prediction to make.
(The old Gipsy Fortune Tellers used to be rather more ambiguous and
usually said that they could see `you crossing over water`. This could
finish up by being as mundane as crossing a river on a bridge, but you
can be rather more forthcoming.)
Increases in the social life of your client is also something to be
recommended, if only to stimulate your client into doing something
themselves about improving that quality of their own social life, as
most married women tend to spend far too much time within the
confines of their own homes.
The only consideration to be thought of as you prophesy all sorts of
holidays in the U.K and trips abroad et. al. is to be sure that your
client or her husband is in full time employment.
However, by the time you get to this part of your reading, you should
have discovered this fact and the possible financial standing of your
client from things said to you earlier on.
As you go into this part of the reading you will have to take things
very easy until you find yourself on safe ground. There will be many
pauses and there will be occasions when you will have to look at your
client quizzically, or simply look at her and say “Do you feel that is
correct?”
Now let us look at the mechanics of doing this part of the reading.
“Your cards indicate that you are entering a most fortunate period in
your life with regards to your social life. You seem to have been
spending far too much time within the confines of your own home
and not getting out and meeting people as much as you should. Am I
right?”
Pause, smile and look at your client. This will provide her with a fine
opportunity to complain about her inadequate social life and – if she
does so, it provides you with more ammunition to use in your reading
as you expand on most of what she says.
If she responds that she gets out occasionally with her husband, you
will still be able to tell her that that there still seems to be more
opportunities for her to engage in more social activities.
Activate your mind – and continue;
“It seems as though you are going to be engaged in much more social
activities, with you making visits to places not previously visited and
meeting lots of new people. There seems to be the distinct possibility
of you travelling abroad for the purpose of pleasure. Have you made
the arrangements yet?”
Again the pause, the smile and the quizzical look.
Once again you have given her the opportunity to fill in the details.
Having been given those extra details, you may continue,
“Yes, it looks as though you will be having a wonderful time on your
foreign/ U.K. Holiday. I get a strong impression that you will meet
someone from your past, possibly even from your schooldays whilst
you are on holiday and you will be able to catch up on all the latest
news and any scandal that you may have missed out on over the
years. There also seems to be some kind of matrimonial celebration to
which you will be invited in the near future.”
At this point, pause again and look for agreement and having got the
signal that you were looking for, continue, “This celebration looks as
though it could have some family connection.”
Pause and look for agreement and it may well be that at this time your
client will blurt out, “Yes our Billy’s getting married,.” Or “Our
Diane’s baby is getting christened/making a first communion.” Or
whatever it might be. Once you have this information, you can go
straight ahead forecasting all kinds of wonderful things for the future
of the people involved in the celebration.
If you don’t get any information from your client and she stays
`stum`, then you may have to go on a `fishing expedition`.
By this I mean you make a statement like the following, but include
suitable pauses as you speak.
Speak slowly as you say, “It could be a … wedding, or a …silver
wedding … engagement party …21st. birthday celebration … a
christening …” and so on until you see some sign that you have hit
the right one.
Having got the sign then carry on making wonderful forecasts of joy,
happiness, improved finances etc, because you will discover as you
become more competent at giving readings that it is important for you
to make very many prophesies of good things.
Your client will not remember all of the things you have said, but they
will remember every one that comes to pass – and you can believe me
on that!
(4) Work and Professional Prospects.
This is an area of the reading where you would find it difficult to

miss.
People are generally competitive and in most cases, you will be able
to motivate them and help them to become increasingly successful.
All that you have to do is to press the right `button`. You may divide
your clients into four categories:
1. Professional People.
This group is not one that normally seeks out the services of a Psychic
Reader unless they are experiencing difficulties and problems. In the
main, you can discount them as a group, but do remember that they
too are interested in the same things as everyone else and if one does
seek you out, you must try your best to discover the problem and the
make some very powerful positive prophesies for good.
2. Business People.
Members of this group will often be found in your consultations.

They are by nature usually very positive and can easily be motivated.
If you can help them to come to terms with their day to day business
worries and cares and help them to find solutions; they can, very
often, do this themselves with just a little prompting from you. You
will find that they are very easy to read for. You simply have to tell
them to identify areas in their business which will prove more
profitable, then you can be assured that they will ensure that any
predictions that you make about financial gains and improvements
will bear fruit.
3. Civil Servants.
This group of people are usually very competitive amongst

themselves. They are mainly very industrious, hard working and
ambitious. They have an internal system of `Promotion Boards and
Assessments` and they appear before such bodies at regular intervals.
These people are regularly expecting an ùpgrading` or `promotion`,
so you are on pretty safe ground by predicting one or the other:
“It seems as though you will be appearing before some kind of
promotion board quite soon”, or “Getting a promotion within the next
few months and I am very happy for you as the prospects for further
advancement seems very good indeed.”
You will find in most cases that your prediction will prove to be
accurate, so go ahead and make wonderful predictions about success.
Don’t forget that this group has an excellent Civil Service Pension
Scheme when they come to the end of their working life, so when you
are doing the part of the reading which deals with the financial
prospects, you can always throw in the line, “I see you being quite
prosperous for most of your life, even in your retirement years.”
Are you beginning to see how one thing can so easily lead to another
– as long as you keep your wits about you – and your ears and eyes
OPEN!
4. The Working Class.
This group is the most difficult with regards to promotional prospects.

There will of course be exemptions to that rule, so you must treat the
exemptions as though they were Civil Servants, or small Business
People and cater your reading towards that direction.
For the majority, the best that you will be able to do will be to
suggest:
“There seems to be some major improvements in your working
conditions”, or “There seems to be the distinct possibility of some
kind of promotion.”
You will be better able to offer help and advice in the Financial
Prospects part of your reading.
Sadly, it is amongst this group that when economic difficulties arise
they usually suffer the most, and you will often meet individuals who
are unemployed, or the wives of such unemployed people.
The way to deal with this situation is to go out of your way to inject
some optimism into their lives. The main problem appears to be one
of apathy. The unemployed tend to become very apathetic after a few
weeks of searching for work. They become less and less optimistic of
finding a suitable job because they think that there are no jobs to be
found.
You will have to help them to re-motivate themselves by suggesting;
“there seems to be a job or the offer of a job looking for you. Sadly
though, it can not come knocking on your door. However, the
impression that I am getting is so strong that I must suggest to you
that you/ (your husband) goes out each day in an effort to meet this
job halfway and I feel that success will be yours/his with three short
months. It could even be earlier.”
The number of times that a suggestion such as this has resulted in a
client or her husband obtaining suitable employment are too
numerous to mention.
Some time ago, I read for a lady who was desperate for a job. I
discovered that she was a store detective, so there did not appear to be
too much hope of her finding such a job because of the specialised
nature of her work. Nonetheless, I still said that I felt that the offer of
a job would be made to her within three months.
Three weeks later she telephoned me and told me that had job a job as
a store detective near to her home.
She is now a `Believer`. I do not know what makes these predictions
come to pass, but they do, with amazing regularity. It may well be
that the prediction so concentrates the mind that the recipient is better
able to recognise opportunities when they are presented to him/her.
They may be in a more expectant frame of mind and that can only
help. Do NOT be afraid of making predictions about good things
happening to your clients,
if you press the right `buttons` - miracles can happen!
As far as this part of the reading is concerned, you must firstly make
up your mind, on the basis of what you have learned from your client
whether your client is a housewife, is employed or is unemployed.
In the case of a housewife, you can forecast the security of her
husband’s job and or a promotion or other improvement somewhere.
In the case an unemployed person, you can point out to them “That
they are very capable, energetic, hard working etc” in order to give
them a very necessary ego-boosting and then go on to tell them about
that `job opportunity` that is looking for them and that they must try
to meet it half way by going out every day, as I stated previously.
In the case of someone who is already working, your reading could
follow along these lines:
“You appear to be a very energetic, industrious and conscientious
person who appears to be a hard working individual. I feel that your
job requires a pretty high degree of intellect and a certain amount of
digital dexterity.” (whatever that may mean!) Pause, look at your
client, smile and say, “What is it that you do exactly?”
In the mind of your client you have given a pretty accurate job
specification, so he/she will be only too happy to fill in what he/she
thinks is a very minor detail of the job title.
Having got the title, or specification of the job, you are now in an
excellent position to really go to town by forecasting promotion
boards, and even offering advice on how to present him/herself at
such boards etc.
Your client will be grateful for this offer of help and remember,
anything that instils a bit of gratitude between the two of you, can
only be good for you.
You can also forecasts changes of departments that will benefit the
client and you can also predict promotions, wage increases, success
and anything else that comes into your mind along these lines. These
predictions, will mainly come to happen and your client will
remember the ones that come true – and forget the ones that don’t!
One of my most amazing experiences of forecasting future events
occurred one morning when I was in a newspaper office, having an
interview and a photograph taken for a publicity story.
As I was talking to a staff member, a young lady in a blue dress
walked by and as she passed me, I said to her, “Enjoy your new job.”
She obviously knew me by sight and or reputation because she
stopped and said to me, “What new job?” I said, “There is a change of
job for you very soon and it will prove to be some kind of
promotion.” She laughed and “Oh No Mr. Merlin, you are quite
wrong this time.”
Within fifteen minutes she came back.
She was ashen faced and was shaking like a leaf. It transpired that
when she passed by, she was on her way to see the managing editor.
He had just told her that she was being moved to another department
and PROMOTING HER!
That was a good example of `bare assed luck`.
How do these predictions come to happen – I don’t know, but we can
all be grateful that they do!
5. Financial Prospects.
With regards to this part of the reading, you will have to use your wit
and your intelligence. Most peoples incomes rise on average by at
least the annual rate of inflation, including the unemployed. It will be
necessary for you to keep abreast of current affairs so that you will
always have some idea of what the annual rate of inflation is.
Professional, Business people and the Self Employed can most
probably expect to do better than the rest, so in these cases, you can
make excellent predictions. Remember it is always necessary for you
to instil into the minds of your clients that they are hard-working,
energetic and conscientious and because of these qualities, they can
expect to do well above average over the next few months.
Where you are not too sure of your ground because of the capricious
circumstances of your client, you can always fall back on the old
standby,
“Your cards, (palm/ crystal ball) indicate that there will always be a
pretty high degree of financial security throughout your life. I do not
anticipate you being overly rich, but you will always have sufficient
for your needs and wants. I do not ever see you really being in need of
anything at any time throughout your life.”
Of course, there is much more that you can add and will be able to
say, but that will depend to some extent on the type of client and just
what cards appear in the spread. In any spread where you find a large
proportion of Pentacle (Coins) and possibly The World, or The Sun,
then this would allow you to get your second wind and crash on.
Always predict improvement. The actual degree of improvement will
depend on how you view your client’s prospects. In any event, such
predictions have the happy habit of coming to pass. You would
benefit from reading my book `The Talking Tarot`.
6. Love Life – Marriage – Children.
Most people have the need to feel loved and to feel secure in that
love. When meeting the very few odd ones who evidently appear to
wish to remain free from any such emotional entanglements, you will
have to gear your reading to suit their apparent needs. However, there
will be very few occasions when you will find yourself in this
situation.
With the very large majority of people, you will be able to predict
emotional and loving security for the rest of your client’s life. Where
your client appears to be happily married, then taking this course of
action should not present difficulties for you and it will help your
client to feel more reassured in her love-life.
With an unmarried younger woman, who is apparently looking for a
satisfactory emotional life, then go ahead and predict, “I see a fine
young man coming into your life over the next few months. I feel that
the door to a happy marriage or relationship will be opened to you,
but will you enter?
The decision must always rest with you, but I am very optimistic
about the outcome.” You would find it very difficult t miss with a
prediction such as this one, unless there is something strangely wrong
with your client.
With a reasonably young woman who is obviously divorced or
separated, you can also predict to a large extent along very similar
lines to those just described, but you may have to sound out your
client a little more about her specific needs and the needs of any child
or children that she may have. You can then act accordingly to tailor
the reading to this particular client.
With middle-aged widows and divorcees, you can also stick with lines
similar to the following; “I feel that you will not spend the rest of
your life alone. Whether you really would like to marry again or not is
entirely a matter for you alone to decide, but I do feel that the
opportunity will present itself to you. Perhaps you will have to give it
more concentration when the time comes. In the meantime, I should
remain in an optimistic frame of mind, if I were you.”
It might be of interest at this point to remember that the majority of
young unmarried women would eventually want to marry and have
children, so whilst you are predicting marriage, you can throw in the
line, “I see at least two beautiful children coming into your life after
marriage, wait a minute …. There could even be three, but I can
clearly see two.”
Many of your female clients will talk to you during this part of the
reading, about their most intimate fears, illnesses and any emotional
or extra-marital affairs or relationships that they have become
involved in.
It will be up to you to offer sound, sensible and helpful advice. In
some cases, you might discover that the problems being discussed at
this point are the very reasons that your client has come to see you for
a reading.
She wants to know if what she is doing is right, wrong or how it will
affect her future. It is up to you to be sympathetic, understanding and
helpful.
You must do your utmost to help your client have a better
understanding of herself and of her problems and you must offer her
hope, that with a little patience and discipline, she will have a much
better chance of improving her emotional life in the future.
You must do all in your power to motivate your client to help herself
in this situation by promising that whatever the outcome, it will be for
the best for her.
We have now gone through the six points of the reading.
The actual content will depend to a large extent on how much you
have perceived of your client’s strengths and weaknesses and how
accurately you feel that you can predict the most probable route your
client’s future life will follow.
CHAPTER FOUR
THE MEANING OF THE CARDS
The interpretation of the tarot Cards can easily be achieved by

studying any book on the Tarot, or by using a system of `Keywords`
taken from the small booklet usually found in the Tarot Card Box of
most Tarot decks.
Personally, I always recommend that one uses The Rider Waite Deck
of Tarot cards as in addition to the little booklet, the pictures
themselves can tell many stories that can be used and adapted for your
client. (See my next book `The Talking Tarot` )
You may make a list of these Keywords, using one or two for each of
the cards in the Major and the Minor Arcana.
If you decide to follow this course of action, you will have to put in
some time learning your Keywords parrot fashion and then attempt to
put them all together to make them sound meaningful to your client.
I certainly recommend that you do learn the Keywords for the twenty
two cards of the Major Arcana at the very least.
You will find that the time devoted to this will stand you in good
stead as you learn to practice reading the Major Arcana cards.
With regards to the cards in the Minor Arcana, you will be able to
make your readings much more personal and interesting by using the
following method, which I used for many, many years.
Take out your deck of Tarot Cards, preferably Rider-Waite or
Morgan-Greer. Shuffle the deck thoroughly and place the deck face
down on the table top in front of you.
Take the top face down card and place it face up in front of you at the
side of the face down deck.
Look at the card and give free reign to your imagination and try to
make up a little story about what you see on the card.
Suppose that the card is the `Ten of Wands`, look at the picture and
see the figure of a man carrying a bundle of ten long wands over his
shoulder.
Your story line could be;
“You appear to be carrying a burden at this particular time. The
burden strikes me as being of the emotional kind,”
look at your client, smile and continue, “Does that seem about right to
you at this particular time.” If your client agrees with what you are
saying, she may tell you more about it at this point. You can now
expand upon this theme advise her how she can eliminate this burden
from her life.
If on the other hand she indicates that she is not troubled by anything
at this time, fine! You can change tack and forecast all kinds of
`goodies` for her which are likely to come true, because she has
already intimated that she does not have any problems at this time.
Look at the next card, suppose that it is `The Eight of Pentacles`
(Coins)
Start out on your story, “You seem to be a very industrious and
energetic person who never leaves a job unfinished. This could lead to
a great deal of professional success and a high degree of job security.”
If you have discovered that your client is unemployed and looking for
a job, you can tailor this story to suit these particular circumstances.
“It appears that a job opportunity is likely to present itself in the very
near future, as I see from this card that you appear to be very busy and
successful in the very near future.”
Look at the next card, it may be `The Ace of Cups`. “It looks as
though your very own cup of life is about to overflow with the good
things that life has to offer. I feel that all your emotional and material
needs are going to satisfied in the not too distant future.”
What is the next card? `The Five of Cups`. Look at the picture, a
lonely and dejected figure seems to be looking down at three cups
which have either fallen or knocked over. Behind the figure there
remain two cups still standing upright. Let your imagination run riot.
“You appear to be concentrating far too much on the things that have
gone wrong in your life. This route can only lead to continuing
despair. If you look at this card and you were asked to advise the
figure standing there, it would be easy, would it not? What you fail to
understand is that you are the figure in the picture. Can you see what
it is that you must do now?
Yes! You must alter your perspective and turn around and look at the
things that are going right in your life and then build upon them. That
is the sure way to happiness, don’t you agree?”
From here on in you are running for home. What’s the next card?
`The Two of pentacles` (Coins) Let’s make up another story,
“Just as this individual seems to be having his ups and downs with the
toy that he is playing with, so you also appear to be having similar ups
and downs.”
You can go in any direction that you want to from an opening like
that and remember, you are constantly looking for signs of
agreement/disagreement with your peripheral vision.
Look at the `Seven of Cups`. What springs to mind as you look at it?
Joy, happiness, a celebration, a wedding, a silver wedding, or simply

a party.
The story;
“There appears to be quite a celebration coming up quite soon.”Pause,
smile and look at your client and expect an answer. Nine times out of
ten you will get one, if you don’t then forecast such an occasion; “at
which you will some good news concerning a friend that you have
lost contact with which pleases you.”
Let’s take one more example, what’s the next card?
`The Two of Swords`.
There is a figure of a seated female, she is blindfolded and she is
holding two swords crossed over her chest, each sword resting on one
shoulder.
What comes to mind?
Is she deciding which sword to use?
Could this suggest that the seated figure is about to make a decision?
What can you say?
“It appears that you may be called upon to make a decision in the near
future which could have far reaching effects on your future …. ….?
You know the route now so I will leave the rest of the story for you to
improvise on.
Go on! Try it out for yourself – it’s easy!
Do you now see how you can make this system of making up little
stories about the ten cards in your client’s spread of cards work for
you and at the same time make your readings more interesting and
personal to each client.
By using this method you will learn to develop your own style of
presentation much more quickly. Your readings will be more
meaningful for your clients and you will never be accused of learning
a `Spiel`.
Now get out your cards and start with your little stories.
CHAPTER FIVE
ASTROLOGY
If you are able to give a short two minute reading at any time and in
any place, you will always find yourself in great demand and more
importantly, you will very quickly become known as a Psychic.
One of the best ways of learning to do `Thumbnail Sketches` of
people is to be able to do short Astrological Character Analyses at the
drop of a hat.
Having a little knowledge of the basic characteristics of the twelve
Zodiacal types could prove to be a most useful tool in your armoury.
You need not be fully conversant with all the possible variables and it
is only necessary for you to learn a number of Keywords relating to
each Zodiacal Type.
You should then be able to fill in any details that you may need tosuit
your particular client, basing as always this additional information
upon what you may have gleaned from your client by the use of your
five senses and your natural wit.
Let’s take a look at the twelve Zodiacal Types.

Any short reading based upon the information provided here should
be quite a simple undertaking and will create in the mind of the
listener the desire to learn more from you. In effect, you will be
advertising your skills and abilities.
The ability to give a short character analysis of your client during a
full Reading, before revealing the client’s Birth Sign, as previously
taught, will improve your image considerably.
Do not be afraid of attempting to learn the Signs and keywords. If you
only learn one a day, you will have learned the lot in less than two
weeks.
It will be well worth your time in the long run. Once learned, you
have them as a wonderful tool – Forever!
CHAPTER SIX
Palmistry
If you wish to see excellence in action, go and have your palm read by
a Gipsy lady, you will then appreciate what the art of Reading is.
She is often able to read a person from the cradle to the grave simply
by the lines of the hand.
This is a subject that is far too complicated to deal with fully in a
book of this size. If you feel that palmistry could prove to be your
forte`, there are many books that covers the subject in its entirety and
it would be to your advantage to consult one of these.
For our purposes, it is only necessary to have a rudimentary
knowledge of the main lines of the hands, in so far as they fit in with
our own Six Point Foundation of the reading.
Most of the information that you will offer during the course of a
Palm Reading will have been obtained, analysed, altered and fed back
to the client by the very same methods used in the tarot Reading.
The palm of the hand would in this case be simply an aid to
concentration, just as the Tarot Cards were in that type of reading.
In case you wish to learn some more of the important lines of the
hand, a diagram is located elsewhere in an earlier chapter of this
book, but it is not intended to be complete, it is simply there to enable
you give short readings based on the main lines of the hand.
When you get to know the main lines, you should note their
respective lengths and any variations from what you would consider
`normal`. These variations could be pointed out to your client to
illustrate any remarks you might make.
CHAPTER SEVEN
The Crystal Ball
For centuries the crystal ball has fired the imagination of Psychic
Researchers, Writers and Occultists. It has been the mainstay of most
types of `Cold Readers`, but I am yet to be convinced of its efficacy.
I owned a 5 inch crystal ball for may years and indeed I still have a
couple of smaller crystals, and I have given hundreds of readings with
it’s use, but the next time that I see something anything in it that has
not come from my own imagination – will be the first!
Please do not misunderstand what I am saying. The crystal ball is not
like a television set. It cannot of itself create pictures.
Anything seen within it’s depths have, in my opinion been planted
therein by the imagination of the Reader.
Were this not so, the client would likewise be able to see the scenes
moving about within its depths.
As an aid to creating the right sort of atmosphere for a reading, it
cannot be bettered. Everyone immediately associates that artefact with
fortune telling and fortune Tellers.
Simply by owning one of these crystal balls immediately puts you in
the ranks of true professionals and by offering Crystal Readings, you
are immediately accepted to be what you purport to be.
If you intend to offer Crystal Readings, you can expect to pay around
£50 - £75 for a decent sized crystal, however, you should consider the
cost as an investment.
In order to set the correct atmosphere for a Crystal Reading, you
should set the crystal ball on its plinth in the centre of a piece of black
velvet cloth of about 18 inches square.
On either side of the crystal ball, you should place small candlesticks
with lighted candles burning brightly therein.
Once the mood has been created, you should invite in your first client.
From that moment on, the reading follows along the same lines as the
tarot Card Reading using the Six Point Foundation.
There is nothing terribly difficult about giving Crystal Readings, but
the story line has to be delivered a lot faster because you do not have
pictures or palm lines to illustrate points.
I suggest that you leave crystal readings alone until you have become
more experienced. This experience will come to you sooner than you
may now think.
EDITOR’S NOTE = Those who desire to give Crystal Ball Readings
and to do what is known as Scrying would be wise to hunt down a
copy of the out of print book “Crystal Gazing Then & Now” by
Myriam Ruthchild which was originally published by Lee Jacobs
Magic Productions.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Getting Work
Starting out as a professional psychic reader can be a most daunting

task. You are an unknown quantity and you may be a little unsure
about yourself and how you are going to perform.
Do NOT worry, as this is not at all unusual.
If you are already performing a Mental Act or a Hypnotic Show
whether professionally or not, you could start off by offering to
lecture to `Women’s Institutes` or `Ladies Guilds` or other female
organisations in the area you live.
Such a lecture would be basically performing your Mental Act and
talking a little more fully on E.S.P. and the power of the mind.
Alternatively, you could offer a demonstration of hypnotism,
remembering of course that you are not in a drinking club and you
should refrain from doing anything that might embarrass anyone
present.
You could also allow any of the ladies present the opportunity of
asking you any questions that they might have.
During the course of the evening you could let slip that you are also a
professional Psychic Reader, or a Psychic Consultant.
(Sounds Better eh?) Please do NOT say that you are a Fortune Teller,
or they might think that you are a Fortune Hunter!
If you are unable to follow the route I have just described, then you
are stuck with commercial advertising.
This can be very expensive when you are just starting out in the
business, but the problem can be solved by using `Shop Window
Advertising`.
Buy yourself some very attractive `Rub-On Letters` from any decent
stationers shop. These are usually sold in sheets, attached to a backing
sheet. Set out on a postcard whet you want to say – and – get rubbing!
For example:
Tarot Readings in Your Own Home

By Highly Acclaimed Professional
Psychic Consultant.
Appointments only
Tel: 1234 123 123
Make up half a dozen of these postcards and have them placed in the
windows of Post Offices and other busy shops in your neighbourhood.
Initially, pay for the adverts for about four weeks, keep a note of
which windows produce the most enquiries and renew those on a
regular basis. You can forget the others.
If you own a computer, you can make up some very attractive
postcard adverts with that – think about it.
You may think that this method of advertising is a bit beneath your
dignity – then so be it – pay the exorbitant rates of the local
newspaper for your line advert in the `Personal` column.
Before we leave this subject, just let me say that I have literally
thousands of clients from such window adverts over the years.
Once established spend a bit more money on newspaper advertising –
that’s what I did those many years ago when I first began.
Finally, do not overlook the simple and the obvious and do not
ridicule that which you haven’t tried.
CHAPTER NINE
Conclusion
Sandy Kross, one of the foremost Psychic Readers in the U.S.A. says
“The secret of doing readings – is doing readings”
I think that totally sums up just what doing psychic readings is all
about.
There are no short cuts. You have to practice your technique
anywhere and at any time.
Try it out at the next party or gathering that you attend.
Try this one, Ask a lady what her Sun Sign is (if she’s not wearing it
round her neck) and then give her a short character analysis based on
that – she will be knocked out (not literally).
A reading, even a short one will create far more impact that any
magic trick ever invented and if you can do short readings in this
manner, you will be remembered after all the magicians are dead and
buried.
A reading is a very personal thing and as such, it creates far greater
impact on the mind of the listener than anything else there is and the
better you can read people, the greater your reputation will become.
Of course, it will take you a little time to iron out the initial
difficulties of collecting the information for you to feed back to your
client, but with a bit of patience you should quickly develop the art
into a very smooth presentation.
Personal recommendations will prove to be one of your most lucrative
methods of obtaining further clients, so you must do EVERY reading
as though your financial future depended on it; after all is said and
done – it could well do!
I have tried to do my best to help get you started on the road to
psychic success, so all that I can say now is, follow the advice of
Sandy Kross and go out and do some cold reading and make some
money!

INTRODUCTION
I am writing this book with a particular individual in mind – YOU –

the reader! Whether you are a `budding psychic consultant` or an
àdept` in the art of tarot reading, there will come a time, sooner or
later when you will be happily giving a Tarot Reading for someone
and `WHAM! It will hit you right between the eyes!
You will become stuck for something – anything – to say. Your mind
will frantically rove backwards and forwards in time, searching, ever
searching for the correct thoughts and the correct words to say at that
moment and these things will evade you completely.
This has happened to me in the past and I know that IT WILL happen
to you sometime. You find yourself on the horns of a dilemma. What
can you do in this situation?
Will you stop the reading there and then and give up, thus facing the
prospect of losing all the credibility that you have so painstakingly
built up over the years, or will you stumble and fumble on with a
silent prayer on your lips and a lot of hope in your heart that the right
words will quickly come to you.
The contents of this book will prevent that situation ever arising in
your professional life. Whenever you are faced with this dilemma –
and it will happen - as sure as God made little apples, you will be able
to look carefully at the Tarot Cards in the spread on the table and
IMMEDIATELY – you will be able to weave a story about what you
see in the pictures on the Tarot Cards.
You will be able to show your client the pictures and explain them as
part of the reading and your client will be able to more fully
understand what you are saying about her.
In my other book, “The Secret Guide To Cold Reading” I made
reference to making up stories about the cards in the spread.
In this book I intend to give you a little story about the seventy eight
cards in the Tarot deck. As you read the pages of this book, you
should also look at each card as it is mentioned and in this way you
may notice things about that card that had not previously registered.
N.B. There is only one requirement and that is – YOU MUST
HAVE A DECK OF THE `RIDER-WAITE` TAROT CARDS OR
THE S.A.G.A. TAROT DECK.
I promise you, when you have finished reading this book, you will
NEVER again be stuck for something to say to your client; something
that is meaningful to your client, because you will have with you the
benefits of “The Talking Tarot”
Now upwards and onwards towards a learning experience that will
not only be enjoyable and informative, but will also help you to
become an even more professional Psychic Consultant.
It will also help you to make a lot of lovely money!
It is my sincere wish that you become very successful in everything
that you do in your bright future as a Psychic Consultant.
Sincerely Yours,
Merlin.
CHAPTER ONE
“The Major Arcana Speaks”
THE FOOL
Take a good look at this card. What do you see? A young male
appears to be walking towards the edge of a cliff. In his left hand he
carries a white rose and a small dog appears to be `prancing`, or could
it be `snapping` at his heels. None of these things appear to be
bothering him.
Could it be that he is oblivious to them because he is on his own
course of action – his own destruction? OR – is it because he is in a
very happy mood and is simply going to the cliff edge to better
admire the beautiful view in front of him?
Do these images not stimulate your imagination? Should the Fool
appear in the Tarot spread of one of your clients, you should be in an
excellent position to be able to advise her in either of two alternatives.
For example:
1. “The presence of The Fool in your spread could indicate that the
course of action that you are currently following could lead to a lot of
unhappiness. See how this young man (The Fool) seems completely
unaware that he is about to walk off the edge of the cliff and so doing,
to his destruction.
Do you not think that it would be wise to reconsider your position at

this time? I feel that unless you make the necessary changes in your
life at this time, you are on course for a lot of sadness and perhaps
some kind of disaster.”
2. “ The presence of The Fool in your spread at this time seems to
indicate that the course that you are following could lead to a lot of
happiness and joy. See how this young man (The Fool) is going to the
cliff top to better enjoy the view. It certainly seems as though your
life is finally going in the right direction, so my advice to you must
before you to continue in this direction – and happiness will be
yours.”
THE MAGICIAN
Here we see the standing figure of the Magician who holds aloft a
magic wand. On the table in front of him lies a Sword, a Wand, a Cup
and a Pentacle (Coin). Above the standing figure and in the
foreground there are a variety of flowers.
The picture would indicate that the Magician is highly skilled in all
the arts covered by the different suits of the Tarot Cards. This
individual could be a successful Lawyer, Doctor, Accountant or any
other highly skilled person. The interpretation of the Magician would
depend upon your client’s needs at the time of the reading.
Suppose that your client is suffering from some kind of illness or
disease, the reading could go along these lines:
1. Here we have the Magician. He is a person who is highly skilled in

the healing arts. I suspect that he is a doctor with a great reputation
and I feel that he will attend you during your illness. I am sure that
you will be getting the best possible treatment for your present
condition and I am very optimistic about the outcome of your
treatment.”
Should your client be involved in some legal or financial difficulty,
then you change the identity of the Magician.
2. Here we have the Magician who appears to be a very highly skilled
Lawyer/Accountant who will be acting for you in this particular
matter. He seems to be very competent and sympathetic to your cause
and I am very optimistic of the outcome.
The flowers on the card could indicate a successful conclusion to the
problem.
You simply look at each picture in turn, consider your client’s needs
at the time and by using your imagination utilise the information
given in the picture on the card to suit your client’s present situation.
Are you now beginning to understand the principle that we are now
using? Let us continue.
THE HIGH PRIESTESS.
A seated figure, THE high Priestess, holding a book (The Torah) on

her lap. Her right hand is hidden in the folds of her dress. She sits
between two pillars, one black, bearing the initial `B` and the other
white, showing the initial `J`. Upon her head there sits a headdress
with a white sphere in the centre. Could this be a crystal ball?
On her breast there is a white cross. Is this a Christian symbol? What
does this picture say to you?
“This card indicates that there is a benign and helpful woman, who is
full of love and charity for you. She is either in your life at the
moment or is likely to come into your life quite soon. I get the
impression that this lady will prove to be very helpful to you. She
may be a spiritual kind of person, probably a bit religious, but she has
great perception and I think that she will show you some alternative
way of dealing with a particular problem that will arise in your life at
that time.”
The alternatives come from the fact that the two pillars display
different initials.
THE EMPRESS.
Once again the seated figure of a woman. She is holding in her right
hand a gold and silver wand, surmounted with a golden ball. A crown
of stars in on her head and at the side of her throne stands a large
heart shape which displays the planetary sign of Venus. Behind her,
there are a number of trees and on the right side of the picture there is
a stream of blue (Pure) water. In front of her there is a field of wheat.
Could this figure represent The Earth Mother or Wiccan Philosophy?
Whatever the representation the indications are of a very powerful
woman, capable of compassion and love (indicated by the planetary
sign of Venus the planet of love and emotions) How do we use this
particular card?
Shown here is a very powerful and compassionate lady. Her power
could be for good or ill, but it is up to you as to how she will use it.
There could also be a lot of love and compassion around you at this
time, but you must remember that love could also include
chastisement as there can be no love without honesty. This influence
appears to be in your life at this time and it is therefore up to you as to
how it will be used.”
THE EMPEROR.
This time the seated figure is male. He appears to be wearing armour

beneath his robes which could indicate that he is a warrior emperor. In
his left hand, he holds the Orb and the Sceptre is held in his right.
Upon his head there sits a jewelled Crown. His hair and beard is worn
long. It is grey, showing age and wisdom. Thus we have a powerful
image, tempered with age and wisdom.
“It looks as though assistance could be coming your way from an
elderly and wise individual. This person has great strength and
character and you could much worse for yourself than to listen to
what he may have to say. Having listened to his advice, you will be
able to make up your own mind as to what you should do as and when
it is necessary to act upon a particular problem.”
THE HIEROPHANT.
According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary, a Hierophant is an

Ìnitiating Priest` - Àn expounder of sacred mysteries`, and here we
see the seated figure of the Hierophant who sits between two pillars.
Upon his head there sits a golden headdress similar to the Tiara worn
by The Pope on ceremonial occasions. He holds a Triple Cross in his
left hand and his right hand is upraised, commanding attention, or
giving a benediction. On the carpet beneath his feet are a pair of
`Crossed keys` (The keys of the Kingdom – Ancient Secrets) and two
Monks with shaven patches on their heads, stand or kneel before him.
This picture creates a feeling of wellbeing in my mind as I look at it
and I feel that this card indicates a benign and benevolent power for
good in the client’s life – and so I say something like the following:
“You appear to be entering a period of good fortune as there is this
powerful yet benevolent influence in your life over the next few
months. It would seem to be a time for you to take advantage of
whatever opportunities appear to you to improve the quality of your
life. Do not let anything worry you over the next few months as the
Hierophant seems capable of dealing with whatever comes along.”
THE LOVERS.
On this card we see two naked Lovers, a male and a female standing a
short distance apart. In the background there seems to be a large
Angel giving them and their love a blessing. It may well be a
representation of Adam and Eve, the world’s first Lovers as there
stands a tree bearing fruit on either side of them. Are these trees the
original trees of ` The Knowledge of Good and Èvil` and the tree of
Èverlasting Life`? I always take the view that this card represents
that there will be a loving and caring experience which could last for a
very long time, in the life of my client.
“It would appear that you have recently met or are about to meet a
rather special person who will bring you a great deal of joy and
happiness through his/her love for you. I feel that this loving
relationship could last you for the rest of your life. However, I must
remind you that in any relationship, you get out of it what you put into
it and therefore the onus is on both of you to make it work out.
N.B. If it is obvious that your client is a married person, then you can
slant your tale to suit her circumstances, thus: “It looks as though your
MARRIAGE will bring you great joy and happiness … etc.”
THE CHARIOT.
A Charioteer stands in his chariot, which is being pulled by a white

and black Lion (Opposing Forces – Positive and Negative – The Yin
and Yang) Overhead there is a canopy decorated with silver stars. He
wears a Tiara upon his head which is adorned with a silver star. In his
right hand he carries a Lance. I feel that the most significant part of
this picture are the two Lions and I feel that the Charioteer will have
to devote most of his energy in ensuring that the two Lions travel in
the same direction and at the same speed. This would appear to be a
difficult task, but his general appearance would indicate that he is
successful as he wears the trappings of his success upon his person.
“This card here represents that there will be opposing forces
occupying a place in your life over the next few months, and rather
like the Charioteer, you will have to keep a firm grip on the reins of
life if you are to succeed. There will always be those around you who
will be happy to place obstacles in your path, but you will have to
learn how to overcome or circumnavigate them. If you don’t – you
will fail. I think that the short meaning here is simply that the race
may be difficult – but you will end up being a winner. Do you
understand what I have said?”
STRENGTH.
This picture shows an apparent gentle figure wrestling and

overcoming a fully grown Lion. In my opinion, it simply means that
the client in whose spread you find this card will have great strength
of character. You should be able to `dress this up` in ay way or
direction that you want to.
“It strikes me that there is a great deal more to you than meets the eye.
This card tells me that you have a great deal of strength of character
and a lot of determination. I feel that if you are really interested in
something, you have the character and determination to fully
concentrate on it and never give up, even if it causes you to feel
uncomfortable. Whatever adversity may call upon you, you will
always find ways of overcoming it or coming to terms with it. You
are basically a strong person and I think that you should concentrate
more on the strengths in your character and do everything in your
power to weed out any weaknesses that you may find.”
THE HERMIT.
A lonely figure stands in the gloom of late evening. He looks

downcast, carries a walking staff and illuminates his way with a hand
held lantern.
What does this image conjure up for you? He is not a figure who
seems to be enjoying himself, does he? He is exactly what he seems
to be, a sad and lonely figure and yet many women amongst your
clientele will be living lives similar to the Hermit. They seldom go out
socially, they spend most of their time alone or caring for their
families, who take what she offers and do very little to alleviate her
loneliness.
Should this card appear in the spread of one of your clients, you could
discuss it alongthese lines:
“It would appear that you seem to be spending too much of your time
alone, or simply concerning yourself about others in your life, who
seem to be getting along quite well with their own lives. It looks as
though you should be spending a bit more of your time in getting
about socially with your friends. You know what they say about àll
work and no play making Jack a dull boy` don’t you, well it’s just the
same for Jill – and that means YOU!
I am not suggesting that you should become an overnight `Gadabout`
but I do feel that your life would be far more fulfilled if you made the
effort to get out of your home from time to time in order to enjoy
yourself. Do you know what I mean? Well, don’t just think about it,
do something about it – and do it now!”
THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE.
Here we see the classical picture of The Wheel of Fortune. It is quite a

complicated picture, but it’s meaning is very simple to understand; it
means CHANGES! Changes in the client’s situation, change of house,
change of job, change of friends, changes in the financial situation.
The direction of the changes, whether they be for the better or for the
worse, does, to a large extent depend upon other nearby cards in the
spread, or how you have seen your client’s future.
If you see the Star, the Sun, or the World in the spread, you can go
full steam ahead predicting all kinds of improvements and back up
your statements by pointing to these other excellent cards upon which
you base your predictions. If these other `good` cards are not present,
do not let that stop you from making optimistic predictions, but do
have a regard to your client’s present circumstances.
“I am very happy to see the Wheel of Fortune in your spread of cards.
Its meaning is excellent at this time. It usually indicates that changes
will be taking place around you now and over the next few months for
as long as its influence lasts. Most of these changes appear to be for
the better, although one cannot discount the odd hiccup along the
way. It would appear that there could be an excellent change taking
place with regards to your (home/ job/ husband’s job/financial
situation/ domestic circumstances) N.B. Pick one or two of the
alternatives.) and I sincerely believe that such change(es) will most
certainly be for the better. You appear to be most fortunate.”
JUSTICE.
Once again a seated figure, `Justice`. In the right hand there is held a
double edged Sword (it can cut both ways) and in the left `The Scales
of Justice`. I have my own little tale for this card.
“I see that you have the figure of `Justice` in your spread. This is a
card about which I have mixed feelings. As you can see the figure is
holding a double edged sword in his right hand and the Scales of
Justice in his left.
This means that there are two major conflicting influences affecting
your life at the present time. Firstly the good news. It would appear
that the scales of life are balanced in your favour at this particular
time and it would appear to be a good time for making plans and
being able to anticipate those plans coming to fruition on time.
However, the sword which is held in the other hand, does appear to be
detrimental to you. The way that I see it is this …” (You must have
ascertained by now that your client – or her husband, drives a car) “It
would appear from the presence of the Sword that you are likely to
get into a bit of trouble whilst you/your husband is driving the car. It
is not very serious, but I want to put you in the picture, I do not see
any involvement in any traffic accident, but you/your husband
do/does seem to be vulnerable to being reported for `Speeding`. You
appear to be vulnerable for just a few weeks, so be on your guard and
tell your husband also. It’s a funny old thing really, but I think it will
happen in a 30 miles an hour zone and I see 43 miles an hour reading
on the car’s speedometer. So be warned!”
Whilst these statements may appear to be just `Boilerplate` and not
very profound I think that the words will accomplish much. First of
all they help the client to be a little more optimistic about things and
secondly, they may help to prevent either your client or her husband
from an unfortunate experience.
THE HANGED MAN.
We have the figure of a male hanging by his foot from the topmost
crossmember of a tree. He is fastened to the tree by only his right foot
and his left leg is bent down at the knee between the tree and his own
right leg.
His hands are hidden behind his back, whether fastened together or
not is unknown and there appears to be a golden halo around his head.
It is most certainly a very nonchalant pose whether this was the
intention of the artist that painted it or not. In view of the posture and
the apparent nonchalance of the figure who simply seems to be
`hanging about waiting for something to happen`, I regard this card in
a similar way to the card `Temperance`.
“The hanged man in your spread would indicate that the time has
come for you to stop and take stock of your current situation. It would
appear that for some time now, you have been running about trying to
do everything at once.
You appear to be in danger of overtaxing yourself, so perhaps now is
the time to slow down a bit and take things a little easier.
Remember, the only thing that you get in a rush – are – Kids!”
DEATH.
The grim figure of DEATH dressed in armour riding his horse over
the prostrate bodies of those who have tried to stand in his pathway is
shown on this card. Standing in front of Death seems to be a religious
figure, probably a Bishop or Archbishop, whose hands are clasped
together as if in supplication.
My feelings are that Death will pay no heed to this individual. This
card can have a rather worrying effect on any client in whose spread it
appears. I usually deal with it in this way. (I do know that some Tarot
Card Readers remove this card from their deck altogether. However,
that is simply a matter for the individual, so I will leave it up to you.)
“Do not fear because you see Death in your spread. It does not
ordinarily mean that you are going to suffer the loss of a loved one. Its
meaning is, more often than not, is simply À New beginning`. Just as
physical death means the ending of one chapter in a person’s
progress, it does not mean an ending to that person, more likely, it
means a new beginning in spirit.
This card can so easily mean that your life is likely to change
somewhere and that there be a glorious new beginning for you some
time quite soon.
It could mean a new beginning in the sense that you will be beginning
in a new job. (In the case of a divorcee) It could mean a new romance
in your life – it could even mean that you are about to make the
decision to re-marry.
So you see, all your first impressions about this card were completely
wrong and founded on your instinctive fear of the card itself.”
TEMPERANCE.
A white robed Angel stands in the centre of this card. On his breast
there is worn a yellow triangular motif and he is pouring blue (pure|)
water from a golden cup, held in his left hand, into another similar
cup held in his right.
His large wings are outspread as he stands in front of a pool of blue
water. Behind him, to his right, there is a golden Crown and to his left
side, there are two flowering Irises.
“The presence of Temperance in your spread at this time is to tell you
that the time has come to exercise a little temperance in your lifestyle.
It looks as though you have been trying to do too many things all at
once and the time has now come when you must begin to slow down
a little.
It may be that you have been a little hasty tempered of late, or that
you have been a little intolerant of those nearest and dearest to you
especially in the home and the workplace, but now you must try to
change all that.
It can be done by simply taking things a little easier. Temperance can
also be a warning that you have been rushing things within the
confines of a romantic or emotional relationship and as the result,
your partner could starting to get a little colder towards you.
Once again, there is something that can be done in this area, just slow
down a bit and let nature take its natural course. Wherever you are
finding contention and dis-satisfaction, much can be done by
exercising a bit of temperance.”
THE DEVIL.
Two small but well-developed devils are shown here. One is male and
the other is female. They are chained together and to a large block of
black stone, upon which sits the figure of a huge, bearded devil. His
right hand is upraised, palm outwards and in his left hand, which is
held at waist level, he holds a large dark coloured club which appears
to be burning at the topmost end, rather like a torch.
This is a rather disconcerting image for anyone to see in their spread
and I deal with it like this, particularly if I have come to the
conclusion that all is not too well between my client and their spouse
or partner.
“I think that you will agree with me when I say that this card is not a
very nice one. It shows two people chained together by their
emotional feelings (or marriage as the case may be) and in the
background to this relationship, there is a very bad influence.
This could mean that all is not well within your present emotional
relationship. (or marriage) It may well be that the relationship has
gone beyond the bounds where it might be salvaged and you will
therefore have to consider your position from that standpoint.
On the other hand, it may be that despite the negative influences in
the relationship, you may yet be able to do something that will help to
eliminate all that negativity.
This would be up to you as to how you see this particular part of your
life.”
From this point on you could discuss her present relationship and try
to see how badly it has gone and thereafter try to offer sound,
constructive advice as to what the client can do, either to end it – or –
mend it!
THE TOWER.
`The apparent destruction of a light coloured Tower is illustrated on

this card. The roof of the tower which is in the shape of a large golden
crown seems to have been blown off by an explosion and flames are
leaping from out of the top of the tower. Two figures, one male and
the other female, are falling headfirst towards the rocky ground
below, having jumped from the tower in a bid to escape.
Traditionally, this card has meant destruction or the end of something
and since I am always reluctant to offer anything like bad news, I try
to ignore it in the spread.
However, if I feel that it is pertinent to my client as the result of what
I have learned from her, I usually relate it to something that is ending.
Or has already ended in her life.
For example:
“This card shows the ending of something and since I have already
seen and told you that your marriage (relationship) has already ended.
This card simply indicates and reinforces that statement.”
In the case of a client before me whose love-life is in tatters and I am
of the opinion that there is no hope of salvaging anything from the
relationship, then I choose this particular route.
“The presence of the Tower in your spread is a rather grim indication
that all is not well with your present emotional relationship. (or
marriage. You have already said that much and it appears that this
problem has been occupying a lot of your concentration for some time
past.
Well, the bad news is that it appears that this relationship is a dead
duck and the sooner you end it, the sooner you will be able to recreate
your life and get on with something really worthwhile. I am sure, that
with the passage of time, you will get over this breakup and find
yourself someone who will really appreciate someone as fine as
yourself.”
Always try to end any negative statements with a couple of positive

ones.
THE STAR.
The naked figure of a beautiful young woman kneels on one knee

before a pool of blue (pure) water. In each hand she holds a jug. From
the jug in her right hand she is pouring water into the pool and from
the jug in her left hand, she pours water onto the ground at her side.
In the background, there stands a solitary tree in which there stands a
rather strange looking bird. In the sky behind her, there shines a very
large and beautiful eight pointed golden star and surrounding it, there
are seven eight pointed stars.
I am always very pleased when I see this card in the spread of a client
as it always seems to bode well - talk about wishing on a star.
This is the way I deal with it:
“What a beautiful card! This card is, I feel, the third strongest
influence for good out of the whole pack of seventy eight cards. Its
message is rather short but nonetheless very sweet.
Just as you were told to wish upon the first star that you saw in the
evening sky when you were a small child, I am now telling you, as an
adult, to wish upon this particular star.
It indicates that you are going into a very happy and optimistic period
in your life where the plans that you make will usually come to a
successful conclusion.
It simply says, that your short term and long term prospects are
extremely bright, so it is now up to you to go ahead and take
advantage of whatever opportunities come your way over the next
year and to make Hay whilst the Star shines.
Go ahead and enjoy the abundant joys that the presence of the Star
will bring into your life.”
THE MOON.
A large yellow Moon with a face at its centre is shown here.
Radiating outwards from the Moon are yellow pointed spikes and
yellow petals fall to the ground, apparently from the spikes. Beneath
the Moon on either side stands a grey-stone tower-like building and
on the ground are two dogs who seem to be baying in the direction of
the Moon.
In front of the dogs there is a pool of blue (pure) water from which is
crawling a Lobster.
It seems to be a rather unsettling picture, but as ever, I look for
something positive to say about it.
“Looking at this picture of the Moon, I get a strong impression of
`time`. Just as the journey of the Moon through the signs of the
Zodiac takes approximately twenty-eight days, I usually take the
meaning of this card to be multiples of twenty-eight days, or to put it
another way – months.
I feel that whatever dissatisfaction there is in your life at this time has
a time limit which can be measured in `months`. In your case, I think
that the thing that is currently worrying you will clear away within
three/four/five/six months from now.” (Pick a single number)
“I am aware that this problem …” (whatever you have discerned from
your client) “has been worrying you for some time, but remember,
nothing is achieved by worrying. Is it not better to accept that it will
worry you no more within the time period that I have given you.
Go home with the sure and certain knowledge that your problems are
coming to an end very shortly.”
THE SUN.
A large Sun shines brightly in the centre of this card. It radiates

happiness and joy as it shines down upon a line of bright sunflowers
and the naked figure of a small child riding upon a white horse.
Does this picture not bring out all that is the very best in your mind?
Can you ever remember a beautiful sunny day when you were not
happy?
Then these are the kind of thoughts that should be offered to your
client whenever one is fortunate enough to have the Sun in their
spread.
“I want you to know that the Sun will be shining in your life over the
next twelve to eighteen months. I always feel that the Sun is the
second strongest influence for good out of the whole pack of seventy-
eight cards.
It is a very powerful influence for good and this influence will be
shining down on everything that you do during this period. It tells me
that whatever your hopes, dreams, ambitions, aspirations, wishes and
desires are, they will be successful provided you expect to see such
improvements taking place in your life.
The Apostle St. Paul wrote, Às a man thinks so he becomes`. I want
you to take this sentiment to heart at this time and think as you wish
to become.
Believe me it will happen. The power and influence of the Sun is just
that – a power and influence.
The direction that power and influence takes is at this time up to you.
So, if ever there was a time for thinking in a positive way, that time is
here and now!
So go to it with a will and I know that you will achieve all that you set
out to do.”
JUDGEMENT.
In the sky, there is a large Angel with wings outspread blowing the
final trumpet which is decorated with a white flag, bearing the cross
of St. George. Beneath the Angel stands the figures of six people,
male and female, who have apparently risen from their coffins on this
day of judgement.
Their arms are outstretched as though in supplication. It is the Day of
Judgement when all people are judged by God. What strong feelings
are aroused by this picture?
It is the day that we must ALL face sooner or later and the question
that is posed is how many of us will be ready for it?
Whilst the real or esoteric meaning may be somewhat different from
what I am going t say, I can only defend myself by saying that
nothing good comes from giving out stories of doom, gloom and
disaster to my clients.
Therefore, as ever, I try to use this card in the most constructive way
possible – that’s if I cannot ignore it altogether!
“Here we see the Day of Judgement. It is the one inescapable day
which will come to us all, However, I feel that this card does not
mean that you are about to be judged for some wrongdoing on your
part. On the contrary, it would appear to me that this card is telling
you that you ought not to judge others too harshly.
I get a strong impression that you are prone to speaking your mind
when you feel the need and perhaps in so doing you can often be
rather hypercritical (not hypocritical) of your fellow creatures.
Perhaps the time has come when you should reflect upon the fact that
none of us are perfect and that even you may not always be right in
everything that you do.
Bearing this thought in mind when you feel the need to judge or
chastise someone may help you to deal with that person less
scathingly.”
The above may be described as `pure boilerplate` or a pretty fair
example of Cold Reading as it will fit most people, but at least it deals
with the card in a most effective way – would you agree?
THE WORLD.
The final card in the Major Arcana and the one which is traditionally
the `best`. It shows the partially draped figure of a woman who holds
a wand in each hand.
She is walking lightly through a large Laurel Wreath. At each corner
of the card there is a figured head; a Human, a Bird, a Bovine and a
Lion.
A bright and cheerful picture that makes me feel, bright, cheerful and
very optimistic for my client, whenever I see this card in a spread.
“The presence of the World at this time usually bodes lots of good
luck and fortune for the coming months. It is traditionally the
strongest single influence for good out of the whole pack. You are
indeed most fortunate having it in your spread at this time, as it
usually indicates that everything is likely to be successful for you over
the next twelve to eighteen months.
This wonderful and benevolent power will be exercising its influence
in your life over the coming months and it speaks of you achieving
everything that you set your heart on.
It is most certainly a time for joy and happiness and you must do your
utmost to take advantage of its presence in your life during this time. I
think that you are a most fortunate individual, so good luck to you!”
We have now dealt with the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana
and it is my hope that you will have now realised the importance of
looking at the detail contained in each card of the Tarot Deck.
As you look at each card in succession, the details depicted on the
card should stimulate your imagination and allow you to weave a little
story about what you see there.
As I deal with the Minor Arcana I shall not describe in great detail
each card as I have this far done with the Major Arcana. I shall just
give you the story for that card instead and allow you the opportunity
to study each card in depth as I have shown you so that you can
prepare your mind for telling stories.
Alright, on we go and let the Minor Arcana have its say.
CHAPTER TWO
The Suit of Wands
We will now deal with the cards in the Minor Arcana and we will
begin with the Suit of Wands.
THE ACE OF WANDS.
I usually take the meaning of the Ace of wands to be ìmprovement`

in my client’s social life, so I say something like this whenever it
appears in a spread.
“It would appear from the presence of this card that the quality of
your social life is going to improve quite significantly. It may well be
that you have not been going out and about quite as much as you
should, but from this time onwards it looks as though all that is going
to change. I feel that you are going to enjoy yourself a lot more than
you have been doing recently and I would not preclude the possibility
of you making a trip of some kind in the not too distant future. A
foreign holiday should not be excluded. I hope that you will enjoy the
direction that your life is going to take from now on.”
THE TWO OF WANDS.
“The presence of the Two of Wands in your spread usually denotes

that things are generally getting better over the next few months. I
certainly seems as though you will be holding `the world` or at least
that part of it that is important to you, in the palm of your hand very
shortly. I am very optimistic about your future and I hope that you
will take advantage of whatever opportunities come your way I am
very optimistic about your future and I hope that you will take
advantage of whatever opportunities come your way.”
THE THREE OF WANDS.
“This is an excellent card to find in any spread. Look at the card and
notice that the figure on the clifftop is waiting for his ship to come
home. This means that round about this time, your ship will be
coming in, bringing with it all the `goodies` that you might desire.
Enjoy it!”
THE FOUR OF WANDS.
“This card usually indicates that there will be a change in your normal
residence in the comparatively near future. If you look at the card,
you will see that the roof of the house is red in colour, which often
means that the house will be a happy one. If you have been thinking
of changing your home, then now would appear to be a favourable
time to do it. Once again looking at the card you will see that the two
people in the picture are waving bunches of flowers – they look happy
at the change that they have just made, do they not? I think that you
will also be happy with any change that you make now.”
THE FIVE OF WANDS.
This card seems to indicate that there could be some aggravation

around you at this time. There does seem to be a quarrel going on in
the picture on this card. Are you having a difficult time with anyone
at the present time.” (When you have ascertained the cause of the
problem in your client’s life – then offer her sound and pertinent
advice on how to deal with it. – if there appears to be no problems at
the present time – continue …) “Well, if there is nothing wrong at this
time, then I would think that this is likely to be experienced within a
few months.”
THE SIX OF WANDS.
It looks as though there is going to be some significant improvements

in your working or business life in the very near future. I am
optimistic that there will shortly be some good news regarding a
promotion or improvement with some increase in responsibility. This
will be reflected in the increased amounts of cash that you will be
bringing home – Enjoy It!”
THE SEVEN OF WANDS.
This card seem to show that you are having a bit of difficulty with a
close member of your family – is that right?” (Discover what the
problem is and offer help and advice on dealing with it. If no such
problem exists at the present time, consider saying …) “I wasn’t too
sure about that, but I think it might be wise to keep your family close
to you as much as you can and be prepared to nip in the bud, any
difficulties that do come along.”
THE EIGHT OF WANDS.
“I notice that you have the Eight of Wands in your spread at this time.
I feel that you might be entering into a period of increased activity. It
could be that your help and or advice might be needed by a family
member who is going through a difficult patch at this time. Does that
sound right to you?” If the answer is `Yes` then offer advice – if the
answer is `No` then continue …) “I see not at this time eh? Well I
suppose it could be something for the future. Anyway, you are now
forewarned and forearmed.”
THE NINE OF WANDS.
Looking at this card it would appear that you have recently gone
through a rough time. This card seems to say that it looks rather like
you have been dragged through a hedge backwards – emotionally
speaking. Do you know what I mean?” (Provided you have done your
homework earlier on and managed to discover what your client’s
problem is – you will be able to help with it. If no problem exists at
this time then continue …) “I see, everything is Okay with you at the
moment then in that case you must be prepared for a bit of trouble
coming your way within the next three months – if nothing has
happened by then – forget it as the trouble will have passed you by.”
THE TEN OF WANDS.
“It looks as though you are carrying more than your fair share of cares
and worries at this time. It certainly to be a rather large burden and
my advice to you is to put down that worry or burden and let the
other members of your family carry their own problems and live their
own lives.” (Pure Boilerplate!)
THE PAGE OF WANDS.
“It would appear that there could be some good news connected with
a young person connected to you. It could be a son or a daughter or
even a nephew or niece or even a grandchild. It could be good new3s
connected to school, college or university, but wherever or whomever
it is connected to it’s really great news of some success somewhere.”
THE KNIGHT OF WANDS.
“It looks as though there could be some fine young man/girl coming
into your life quite soon. He/she is shown as the Knight of wands.
These Wands people are usually happy and committed individuals
who always make the person in their life very happy. I am very happy
for you.”
THE QUEEN OF WANDS.
“We have here a very wise, middle aged or elderly lady . I feel that
she is a person who is quite close to you. She could be a mother,
mother-in-law, elder sister or older friend, but whoever she is, she is
close to you and thinks very kindly towards you. She seems to be a
good friend, one who you can trust implicitly, even with your
confidences – and – she will never let you down. She could also be a
good person to seek out when you need the odd bit of advice.”
THE KING OF WANDS.
We have here a middle aged or elderly gentleman. A kindly and

thoughtful man who is kindly disposed towards you.” (Think about
what you have just read about the Queen of Wands and relate
something similar to the King. Are you learning now?)
CHAPTER THREE - The suits of Cups.
THE ACE OF CUPS.
“It looks as though your life is entering into a very happy period,
where the indications are that your cup of life will be overflowing
with the good things that life has to offer. By that I mean that your life
will be filled with the material and financial blessings and you will
find great emotional happiness and the spiritual side of your life will
be complete. I feel that you will shortly be experiencing a most
wonderful time in your life, so take advantage of whatever fate may
offer you.”
THE TWO OF CUPS.
“It would appear that your social life is going to be enlivened a little,
by being invited to kind of matrimonial celebration. I would think that
it is something like and Engagement Part or even a Wedding,
although I think that if it is a Wedding, it will be a simple affair. I
don’t see a Bridal Gown, something rather more simple than the
traditional wedding, perhaps even taking place at the Registry Office.
Nonetheless, I feel that you will have an excellent time and really
enjoy yourself.”
THE THREE OF CUPS.
“there seems to be an invitation to some kind of celebration, although

it is difficult to perceive exactly what kind it is. I feel that it may be
connected with a matrimonial event of some kind. Does that mean
something to you?” (Wait for some feedback from your client and
then depending on the answer use your own judgement and continue
…) “Yes … it’s becoming clearer now … it does look like a …
(Whatever) However, I do know that a good time will be enjoyed by
everyone.”
THE FOUR OF CUPS.
“take a look at this card. It shows a young man sitting beneath a tree.
He has and he owns three beautiful and valuable gold cups and it
appears as though a spirit hand is offering him a fourth, equal in
beauty, equal in value, but the young men appears as though he is
refusing the offer.
Not because he fails to recognise its beauty or value, but simply
because the hand offering him the cup is a `spirit hand` and the young
man is unable to see exactly what is behind the offer. The young man
thinks it will probably be wiser to refuse the offer at this time. Do you
understand what I have said so far? Good!
Well I want you to understand that symbolically YOU are the young
man and I feel that you are about to made what may appear to be a
very attractive off of some kind. It may be made at a time when you
are particularly vulnerable.
However, I want to you to do your best to see exactly what is behind
the offer so that you are not compromised in any way. If you have any
doubts at all – then REFUSE to have anything to do with this
particular offer.”
THE FIVE OF CUPS.
It looks as though you have been going through a rather difficult time
lately, but you seem to be concentrating on your problems and
difficulties to the exclusion of everything else. Is that right?”
(Show your client the card and say, ) “If this person was standing
outside your garden gate, looking as he does, you would quickly
know what to say to him, wouldn’t you? Of course you would, you
would probably quickly tell him not to concentrate on the cups that
have fallen over, but to concentrate more fully on the cups that are
still standing upright.
That is exactly what I am saying to you. Do not waste your time and
energy on worrying about things that have gone wrong in the past –
let those things remain in the past and concentrate more fully on the
things that are going right for you at this time.
That is the only way to deal with past problems. I promise you that if
you will be more forward looking, things will improve in all areas of
your life where you would like to see such improvement. Jesus Christ
said, `Let the dead bury the dead`, he knew what it was all about.
Let the past remain n the past and try to become m ore optimistic
about the future, but vow never to repeat past mistakes and all will be
well with you.”
THE SIX OF CUPS.
“ I see two children here in this card. They seem to be playing happily
in a beautiful garden and growing plants in a number of golden cups.
If you look at the picture you will see that each cup is filled to
overflowing with flowers and greenery. This simple representation
tells me that your children (having ascertained that she/he has
children!) seem to be growing and developing along the lines that you
have decided on and I am sure that they will continue in this way for a
long time yet. It is my feeling that they will never bring any trouble to
your door. You seem to be very fortunate in this.”
THE SEVEN OF CUPS.
“It would appear that you are going to be invited to a big party in the
not too distant future. It could be a very large and posh or sumptuous
wedding or Silver Wedding, Golden Wedding. Whatever it is there
will be lots of people there, including people that you have not seen
for some time and may even have lost touch with. There will be
music, laughter, gaiety, happiness and joy in huge quantities. Be
prepared to have the time of your life.”
THE EIGHT OF CUPS.
I get the feeling that you have/are walked/wanting to walk away from
an unsatisfactory situation or relationship in your life. Do you know
what I mean?” (At this time your client will unburden her/himself and
all her/his problems, dissatisfactions and frustrations will be laid out
for you to take a look at and to help advise. You have the
responsibility of giving sound and pertinent advice that will help your
client to deal with the problems.)
THE NINE OF CUPS.
I am happy to see this card in your spread as it bodes good fortune for
you. Good fortune in the sense that it looks as though your home
could be going through some kind of refurbishment, redecoration
and/or alteration.
It would appear to me that over the next few months you will be
changing the appearance of your home quite considerably. It also
looks as though good fortune could be smiling on you in other ways
as well because in addition to the changes that I have just described, I
also feel that there will be new curtains, carpets and whatever else you
may have in mind at this time. I know that once you have finished, all
will look beautiful and your house will prove to be a very happy
home.
THE TEN OF CUPS.
This card seems to indicate that you are entering into a very
prosperous period of your life and that prosperity will come to you
sooner than you think. I feel that when prosperity arrives, it will
remain with you throughout your life, even into your old age.
My reasons for this assumption is plain to see on the card before you.
The Ten of Cups – Look at it, notice the Rainbow and think back to
your childhood.
Do you remember when you were young and at school during
religious education you were taught how in the Book of genesis you
were taught that there was a great flood and that after the flood, God
placed a Rainbow in the sky and promised Noah that He would never
again drown the earth by another flood.
So… the Rainbow in your cards is to do with prosperity because of
the golden cups. You are indeed a very fortunate individual.”
THE PAGE OF CUPS.
“Here we have the picture of a fish popping up out of a golden cup.

What a surprise! Yes! It’s a surprise for you or someone close to you.
It looks as though it might be good news coming your way or even
unexpected gifts. I am not able to be more specific, but enjoy it –
whatever it is.”
THE KNIGHT OF CUPS.
“It looks as though there is a fine and patient young man about to
come into your life very soon. He is shown holding a golden cup in
his hand, so he will be very good at his job or profession, but he will
not be prepared to sacrifice his home life to his work as his pace
seems too leisurely. I feel that this relationship will be a most
satisfactory one, unless you `botch` it up by your own foolishness.”
THE QUEEN OF CUPS.
“It seems as though there is a rather wealthy and influential lady who
is or is about to come into your life soon. She seems as though she is
looking towards you with a great deal of kindness and love.” (You
can go in any direction that you want to from this opening depending
on how you have perceived your client and her problems, difficulties
OR EVEN LACK OF PROBLEMS.
THE KING OF CUPS.
A rich, powerful and influential older man, a husband, a father figure,

a person to be respected and one who could help financially.” (With
the description above you cold go in any direction that you wanted to.
You can offer all kinds of help, assistance etc from the King of Cups
depending on what you have perceived of your clients life, her/his
needs or wherever she/he may need help.)
CHAPTER FOUR - The Suit of Swords.
THE ACE OF SWORDS.
“It strikes me that there is going to be some kind of additional success

in your/ your husbands working life or profession. I think that an
opportunity will be offered to you/your husband where you/your
husband will be given some additional responsibility, status and
additional pay commensurate with the additional responsibility etc. It
looks as all the good work done by you/your husband has not been
overlooked by your/your husbands employer. Accept these excellent
changes and you will all prosper.
THE TWO OF SWORDS.
It seems to me that you are going to be called upon to make some

kind of important decision quite soon. Just as the lady in this picture
seems to be about to make a decision as to which of the two swords
she is going to use in whatever struggle may lie ahead of her, so I feel
that you will, if you haven’t already made the decision about a matter
close to your heart.” (It may be that your client has a problem about
which she has to make a decision – offer help and advice regarding
this as you see fit.)
THE THREE OF SWORDS.
“ It looks as though you are trying to divide your loyalties in far too
many directions at this time. Perhaps it is time to decide where your
feelings really lie and having decided, then do something about it. If
you continue to decide that you are going to continue dividing
yourself into too many parts, then I feel that you are on a course of
unhappiness. It is time to get your mind working on this problem if
you wish to avoid complications in your life.”
THE FOUR OF SWORDS.
“It would seem that a number of things have been going a bit wrong
for you over the past few months. I know that you are presently
wondering just what is the next thing that will go wrong in your life.
Well, I think I have to tell you that you appear to have had more than
your fair share of bad luck recently, but I feel that this bad luck is
about to be directed elsewhere quite soon. The Apostle St. Paul said
Às a man thinks – so he becomes` so if you start to think a bit more
positively you will easily bring some more better luck towards
yourself.”
THE FIVE OF SWORDS.
“I feel that you have probably had more than your fair share of
difficulties and problems over the past few months, but I want you to
understand that things are now changing for the better. If you look at
this card you will see that the young man is collected the swords of
his defeated enemies who appear to be leaving the field of battle.
Whilst he may be taking on an additional burden by doing that which
he is doing, he is doing it happily because he now knows that the
worst is over and that is the way that you must consider this card. You
may be burdened, but the burden is self-imposed and the worst is now
over. Just be happy about that fact.
THE SIX OF SWORDS.
I get the feeling that there has been times in the recent past when you
have felt just like the cowled figure in the boat. Hooded, so that you
cannot see just where you are going and with a number of obstacles in
front of you preventing you from doing just what you want to do.
Well, the good news appears to be that there is much more peaceful
and calmer water ahead of you and I think what you have coped pretty
well with the difficulties so far experienced. From this day forward, I
think that you can look forward to much calmer water s in your life.”
THE SEVEN OF SWORDS.
“I get a strong impression of some ùnfinished business` in your life

at this time. Do you know what I am talking about?” ( Your client will
now unburden her/hiself and tell you all that you need to know about
the ùnfinished business` and you can then steam ahead by offering
sound and helpful advice.
THE EIGHT OF SWORDS.
“My oh My! You do seem to be surrounded by problems in your life

at this time. Would you like to discuss them with me and let us see if
we can find some solutions together.” (Your client will now tell you
all that you need to know and you can discuss the problems together
and hopefully by giving her good advice, help her to either overcome
or come to terms with her problems.)
THE NINE OF SWORDS.
“It would appear that your sleep has been troubled recently. I get the
impression that you have not been sleeping as well as you should. Is
that right? Would you like me to help you with what has been keeping
you awake at night?” (Your client will now lay it all out before you in
the hope and expectation of getting some help from you. You must
not disappoint her.”)
THE TEN OF SWORDS.
“I feel that you will shortly be turned against by someone whom you
have always considered to be a friend. I think that you will rather feel
like the individual in the picture here. I want to assure you that the
fault will not lie with you or with anything that you have done; the
fault will lie fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the perpetrator of
this act. They, will have the problem of having to face up to what they
have done to you at some time in the future, so you need to do
nothing in return for this unfriendly act. It is my opinion that you will
eventually be better off without this kind of person in your life, they
pollute the very air that you and your family breathe.”
THE PAGE OF SWORDS.
(First of all ensure that your client has a child or children.)
“It would appear that one of your children is a very positive minded
individual who will go from success to success in his/her life. I feel
that this person has more talent and ability than most people and it
will show in the degree of success that he/she will achieve. I suspect
that `getting on in life` will be the main driving force of this
individual, which will make it a bit difficult for the person that he/she
decides to share his/her life with. However with the right partner in
life, they will experience a wonderful life together.
THE KNIGHT OF SWORDS.
“The man in this picture looks as though he belongs to you in some

way.” (Husband or Lover) “He seems to be a very positive and
ambitious man who will go out of his way to achieve the success in
life that he desires. He is a most dominant and single-minded
individual and whilst he may not be the easiest person in the world to
live with, he will prove to be one of the most successful of men that
you will ever meet. If you are married to him or about to be married
to him, he will always be an excellent provider and you will never go
short of anything. (Have you noticed – this is the Page of swords
Grown Up!)
THE QUEEN OF SWORDS.
“There seems to be a dominant and strong-willed woman in your life

at this time. She is not someone who is everyone’s `cup of tea`, but
the reality of the situation is that she is not really a bad old stick. Do
you know who I am talking about?” (Now be guided by what your
client says to you.)
THE KING OF SWORDS.
“There is a very strong willed and determined older man in your life
at this time, or about to enter your life. He is a man of immense ability
and talent who seems to have achieved all he wanted to achieve …”
(You should know the route to take by now!)
CHAPTER FIVE - The Suit of Pentacles
(Pentacles can also be called `Coins)
THE ACE OF PENTACLES.
“I am very pleased to see that you have the Ace of Pentacles in your
spread as it is an excellent indicator of future financial success. It
certainly looks as though things could be looking up for you on the
`money front` very soon, so you must be optimistic and more
importantly, expectant. If you or your husband speculate a few `bob`
on the national Lottery each week, I am sure that you will hear some
good news quite soon.”
THE TWO OF PENTACLES.
“I get a strange feeling that you may be going through a rather funny
period at the moment regarding someone close to you in your life. I
feel that there is someone who is not really sure of his feelings
towards you at this time. Have you noticed this recently, bearing in
mind that it could even involve one of your children who is also going
through a difficult time.” (Your client will now tell you all about it.)
THE THREE OF PENTACLES.
“Seeing the Three of Pentacles here reminds me of a Christening, or

baptism and it looks as though you will shortly be getting an
invitation to such an event. Looking at the picture makes me feel that
you could even be playing a role as a participant in this event, rather
than simply being a spectator, so if you have never been asked to be a
Godfather/Godmother before, then now is the time to go out and get
your best coat and hat dusted off.”
THE FOUR OF PENTACLES.
“I get the impression that you seem to be spending quite a bit of your
time at present wondering and thinking about your past, Your present,
your future and perhaps the direction that your life is going. Would
that be right?” (Let your client tell you all about it and then offer
some sound practical advice.)
THE FIVE OF PENTACLES.
“Looking at this card makes me feel that the situation that is causing
you problems is only a temporary one and I feel that relief will come
within a pretty short time.” (If your client is going through a
separation or divorce or a breakdown in an emotional relationship.
You should know that given time, your client will heal through
natural processes and you simply put a reasonable time limit on it.)
THE SIX OF PENTACLES.
“By the placing of this card in your spread, I feel that the scales of life
seemed to be balanced in your favour at this time. If you look at this
picture, it would seem to show a young man weighing out his gold
and finding that he has more than his own needs, is able to dispense
some of the surplus to the less fortunate. It certainly looks as though
you will be in that fortunate situation quite soon, so keep on looking
forward to that event. It certainly shows that the next few months will
show much improvement.”
THE SEVEN OF PENTACLES.
“This is rather a strange card, it makes me think that you have lost a
lot of the enthusiasm that you once had for your work. I think that you
have recently been feeling as though you are in a dead end job and
because of it, you have not been realising your full potential. You
have two choices as I see it. On is to change your job for one that you
think will be more stimulating and fulfilling; or two, get back into the
swim of things in your present job. Perhaps the latter course may be
the best one for you as I feel that you have done much good work in
the past and have created an excellent reputation for yourself. If you
are just going through a temporary phase, it would be a shame to pack
up all the good that you have already accomplished.”
THE EIGHT OF PENTACLES.
“It looks as though you are in a job that you really enjoy and I think
that you have a very good name with your employers for being
industrious and hard-working. Don’t think that the good work that
you have done in the past has been overlooked, I know that it hasn’t.
Keep it up as it certainly looks as though you could be offered some
kind of promotion or improvement in your status quite soon. You
should also be getting some kind of a pay increase also.
THE NINE OF PENTACLES.
The presence of the Nine of Pentacles simply means that there will be
some significant improvement in your financial future in the next few
months, as I see new money coming into your home. It could be either
from you or your husband with one of you getting this improvement,
but it doesn’t matter who brings it into the house as ìt is all grist that
comes to the mill`. Just enjoy it!”.
THE TEN OF PENTACLES.
“It looks as though you are entering a particularly fortunate period as

far as money is concerned. It does look as though money will be
showering down on you and yours. I just don’t know what you will do
with all the money, perhaps a wonderful foreign trip or holiday is
something that you should be thinking about. Whatever you finally
decide to do, I trust that you will enjoy all the good things that seem
to be coming towards you.
THE PAGE OF PENTACLES.
“The indications given by the Page of Pentacles are that you are likely
to hear some unexpected good news here connected with money or
material possessions quite soon. I would not preclude the possibility
of it being some kind of legacy or something of that sort. Anyway,
when it comes you must enjoy it.
THE KNIGHT OF PENTACLES.
“The Knight of Pentacles in your spread of cards seem to show that

there is some kind of success coming to a young man connected with
you. It may well be a young person who has been rather unhappy in
his/her work, but tell that young person not to worry, as there seems
to be a change for the better coming along quite soon.” (If your client
has a child or relative at college or university, you can twist the story
around that.)
THE QUEEN OF PENTACLES.
“I have here a mother figure. She looks as though there is a certain

amount of financial success and relative prosperity attached to her. I
feel that she would always be available for help should you ever need
it. She seems to be well-disposed towards you, so be assured that you
will always have a friend in her.”
THE KING OF PENTACLES.
“There is an older man close to you that looks rather like a `father
figure`. This man appears to be an individual who has worked all his
life and because of that fact, he is now financially very secure. He
seems well disposed towards you …” (You should now be able to
weave a little story about this card because I have shown you the way
to go.)
CONCLUSION
Well we have now come to the end of this treatise and it is hoped that
you have now learned how to tell a story connected to the particular
Tarot Card that you are looking at, irrespective of the circumstances
of your client.
It is vitally important that you do your early work of `casing your

client` (See my other book “The Secret Guide to Cold Reading.”)
because it is upon what you have learned about your client that your
`stories` will be based.
Without some knowledge of your client, her background, marital

status, whether she is working or not, has children or not, their ages,
or anything else that you can discover about her, your ability as a
Psychic Reader will be greatly impaired.
Whilst each Tarot card in your client’s spread will give you the basis
to a story that you can weave about your client’s life, it will not tell
you anything about her life.
This has to come from your early observations and initial interview,
before you have touched the Tarot cards.
However, once armed with sufficient information regarding your

client, you will certainly be able to add a lot of `spice` to an otherwise
cold reading.
You will be able to see exactly just where and how you can fit the
stories, shown in the cards, into your client’s life, but remember, the
main purpose of this book is to help you at the time when your mind
becomes completely blank and you find yourself stuck for words.
It is my sincere hope that your mind will never go blank, but it is nice
to have the knowledge that you can overcome that problem, no matter
what may happen to you during a Tarot card Reading.
I wish you every success in your life as a successful professional

Psychic Reader and I hope that I have contributed to that success in
some small way by the writing of my books.
EDITORS NOTE = The past Three “Books within a Book” were

written by the Late Brian Howard who also worked under the names
Merlin and Hobrin “Master of the Tarot”
He Licensed these books along with his Hypnotherapy & Related

materials to myself and my Late business partner Peter Hill many,
many years ago now.
I have included them within these pages as they contain REAL

GOLD to anyone who wants to become a Professional Psychic
Reader.
For the record this is the same Brian Howard who originally set up the
“Association of Professional Hypnotherapists and Parapsychologists”
which I later purchased the rights to and renamed “The Association of
Professional Hypnotherapists & Psychotherapists” or APHP for short
which has as explained at the following link been in recent years used
without my permission:

LEGAL ISSUES & HEALTH &
SAFETY FOR PSYCHICS
At the time of completing this book in September 2020 the world is

still affected by the Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic and in that
regards it is those Psychics who have offered online readings via
Skype, Zoom or Facebook Video Messenger that have managed to
thrive during these times where others who relied on people visiting
them at their office have been out of work during the times of
National Lock Downs & Quarantine.
However even when their offices have been able to reopen there are
various Health & Safety issues to be considered and in the next three
video links you will see me interviewing people and asking Expert
Advice about how to be legally compliant and SAFE at all times
during times such as the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Even when the Pandemic is over and long forgotten about the
information in these three videos is still worthy of your attention as
Health & Safety and related Legal Issues are still things you should be
aware of & familiar with and also should put into action at all times
even when everything seems to be perfectly normal and fine in the
world around you.
Whilst we talk mainly about Hypnotherapists & Stage-Hypnotists in
these three videos, the truth is the vast majority also applies equally to
Fortune Telling Consultants & Psychic Entertainers.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Here is the interview I did with Legendary Magician, Pitch Artist and
Tarot Reading Palmist & Psychic Consultant Mark Lewis
https://youtu.be/LVz4lWCdiQo
Mark’s DVD’s & Books on Tarot, Palmistry, Numerology and other

elements of Psychic Readings are available by contacting him via
https://marklewispsychic.com/ or from most major Magic dealers.
Here is an interview I did with British Psychic Clairvoyant and

Spiritualist Medium Philip Solomon
https://youtu.be/VlxYlWUdbtc
Philip Solomon has a number of books available to the general public

which are available from all major book retailers.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philip-
Solomon/e/B001K8MP7M?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_7&qid=16005280

Next here is an interview about the Psychic Business that I did with
Stuart “Harrizon” Cassels
https://youtu.be/445BICowvrU
The Secrets of Fortune Telling, for Fun & Profit by Stuart “Harrizon”
Cassels retails for $397 https://sellfy.com/jonathanroyle/p/mrsszw/

letters of FORTUNE into the checkout to get 60% off the usual price

And finally here is an interview about Fortune Telling from both an
Open Eye & Shut Eye Perspective that I did with the Living Legend
of the Psychic Industry that is Richard Webster
Part A - https://youtu.be/l0Co66UbUBQ
Part B - https://youtu.be/mCOjR-r-G3E
To order copies of any of Richard’s Books simply visit this link:
If you enjoyed those interviews then I am sure you will find many
others of interest on my Hypnosis Week Podcast Channel which
although mainly about Mind Therapy, given my honest belief that a
good Mind Therapist and Counsellor makes a far better Psychic
Consultant than most people I would suggest you will find gold in
these interviews including along the way Marketing & Success advice
that can and does apply to Fortune Tellers as much as it does to the
therapists.

FURTHER RECCOMENDED STUDY
Firstly there are three video interviews that I feel it would be worth
your time to watch and take notice of as although originally aimed at
Hypnotherapists the contents of these videos is I am sure you will
realise as you watch them also extremely relevant to Psychic Readers.
VIDEO ONE – https://youtu.be/mnVBavT4PQI
VIDEO TWO – https://youtu.be/97-fLNeMZjs
VIDEO THREE - https://youtu.be/NHwJUFd3atQ
The items I am recommending below are in addition to the various

books and videos that I have mentioned in many of the individual
chapters within this book.
The main extra item that is not of my own publication that I would
like to draw your attention to is a large format 86 Paged book entitled
“The Messiah Process” by John Riggs which is currently $40 from
Lulu via this link:
https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/john-riggs/the-messiah-
process/paperback/product-189z675e.html
The book is subtitled as being “The Most Dangerous treatise on

Mentalism you’ll ever read.” And it bears a warning to use the
contents with extreme caution.
The Messiah Process. No mentalism routines, but an in-depth

discussion of psychological techniques to create a magickal
experience in the sitter. Past life regression, astral projection,
hypnosis, implanting false memories. Three case histories of people
who created small cults using these techniques.
The subject matter is controversial but it is my honest opinion that it
will help make you a far better Psychic Reader by studying it wisely.
Some other books which are available from most major book retailers
or may need to be tracked down on second-hand auction sites that I
personally feel are worth reading and will overall help you to become
a better Psychic Reader and Consultant are the following titles.
The Psychic Mafia by M. Lamar Keene – 1976

Psychic Blues – Confessions of a Conflicted Medium by Mark
Edward
Flim-Flam! Psychics, ESP, Unicorns, and Other Delusions by James

Randi
James Randi: Psychic Investigator by James Randi
The Psychology of the Psychic by David F. Marks & Richard

world giving readings you would be wiser to invest a little time and
