WHAT THEY SAY
"A superb book, relentlessly intelligent and fiercely methodical! Its pages systematically unravel every deceptive strategy of thinking and rhetoric in 'psychic' character reading" - Teller, of Penn & Teller
"The definitive work, and long overdue. Has many applications to mind magic, close-up, and any inter-active performance" - Derren Brown
"Ian Rowland has produced a product that, like a scalpel, can be used for good or for evil. I read it with increasing fascination. I saw revealed before me, for the first time, a truly scholarly approach to this rarely-handled subject. Ian's effort is clearly organized and very well printed and produced. Ian put a lot of work and inspiration into the work. I think that it will become the reference volume whenever the subject of 'reading' comes up" - James Randi
"A brilliant work worthy of all the praise it's received" - Darwin Ortiz
"Mr. Rowland I have recently bought your full facts of cold reading and would like to congratulate you on an amazing book. It is fantastically written and I learnt a lot from it. You also have a great sense of humour" - Vantonio
