Over on FastSeduction.com, Renegade of Pickup101.com (Sensei, Wilder) posted in detail on Using cold reading to build rapport. Worth reading, especially for the 11 standard cold reads listed at the bottom.

Brian had a comment I think deserve front-page pullup:

The example cold read shots he gives are very blanket and don't have the power of authentic cold reading. I strongly reccommend the "Simply Cold" system by Kenton Kneppers as it is very simple, straightforward, easy to learn, and very powerful. It is a genuine cold reading system rather than a series of blanket statements that apply to anyone and everyone. I have taught it to many of my students who report they have found it to be very effective. While the sort of gambits he lists might work with some folks, others will recognize them to be general statements that could apply to anyone. A true cold reading system goes beyond that and begins getting real information and feeding it back to a person. True cold reading can be wonderful for therapy as well as entertainment. - Brian
