Quotes
Down the rabbit hole we go.

“From the Astrologer came the Astronomer, from the Alchemist came the Chemist, from the Mesmerist came the Mental Specialist. The Charlatan is always the Pioneer. The Quack of Yesterday is the Professor of Tomorrow.”
-Dr. Joseph Bell (as portrayed by Ian Richardson)

The most beautiful and intelligent person I’ve ever known

Introduction
If you’ve made it this far into the book, that’s more than most people ever do; and that is a factual statistic. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Joe Riggs. I am an internationally acclaimed Mentalist, Psychological Performer & Consultant. I have made appearances on innumerable radio and television spots. I have been repeatedly hailed as “ The Man Who Knows Too Much ” as well as “ The Real Sherlock Holmes .” The latter title is quite a heavy one, but then again; what I do often becomes very heavy.
Actually, the name “Sherlock Holmes” is an extremely important, even invaluable, one to me. However, we will delve into that soon enough. While what I do as a Mentalist is truly fascinating, to say the least; I feel it is my unusual background that sets me apart from other types of mental specialists.
I was raised by a professional psychic reader. Not only that, but I spent many of my childhood years in an exclusively metaphysical community. It was a place filled with all types of charlatans and linguistic swindlers. By the time I was fourteen, I had already powerfully mastered the methods of the psychic readers. From the tarot, to palmistry, to astrology and clairvoyance; I could execute and display them all, with one minor catch. I didn’t believe any of it.
In fact, the majority of ‘professional’ psychic readers don’t either, but we’ll rarely catch them saying that. They know exactly how to do what they do; linguistically weaving together circular logic, elementary deductions, and self-fulfilling prophecies. They do so while maintaining the theatrics of a more spiritual methodology that naturally includes the use of their various toys and props.
Back to Sherlock Holmes: I can say with positivity that it was my very early obsession with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional consulting detective which kept me grounded and logical amidst the fantastical world of psychics and metaphysical charlatanry. Holmes’ method of deductive reasoning and advanced observation seemed to come very naturally to me. I quickly incorporated the more advanced reading methods of the psychics with my newfound deductive and observational skills. My aptitude for these two very different ‘mental’ approaches led to my lifelong study of the human condition. Learning about psychology and the power of the mind led me to a mastery of skills that include: body language reading, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), instant induction hypnosis, psychological and criminal profiling, and social engineering. The Fort Worth Star Telegram may have called me “ The Man Who Knows Too Much ” for a reason.
In this book, I am going to take you on an exciting, informative, and entertaining journey into the worlds of the psychic as well as the Mentalist. I am going to show you many of the key methods of the psychic readers, so you can know what to look out for. Not only that, but I am also going to delve into the world of the mental specialist or Mentalist, teaching you techniques and systems that empower you to do amazing things with your mind alone. If you choose to mix the two worlds together, that is up to you. I never had a choice. ~ Joe Riggs

Part I - Psychic Lies
We have all seen them. Most all of us have visited them: psychic readers, metaphysical shops, spiritual consultants, and if you’re really serious; you may have even made the pilgrimage to Sedona. Whether you have or have not been taken in by this multi-million dollar industry whose primary products are circular logic, false hope, linguistic dances and cunning deception; it makes no difference. It is time to learn the methods of these charlatans so you can protect yourself against their ruses and dodges; not to discount the fun you will have with these skills at your disposal. I will let you and your imagination figure out what to do with them. I am here to teach you the skills, techniques and deceptions that are used every day, everywhere, on unsuspecting victims.

Psychics don’t rely on tips from the ‘spiritual realm’ to warn them of impending disasters. Psychics don’t predict their own deaths or diseases. They go to the dentist like the rest of us. They’re as surprised and disturbed as the rest of us when they have to call a plumber or an electrician to fix some defect at home. Their planes are delayed without their being able to anticipate the delays. If they want to know something about Abraham Lincoln, they go to the library; they don’t try to talk to Abe’s spirit. In short, psychics live by the known laws of nature, except when they’re playing their psychic games with people. Psychics aren’t overly worried about other psychics reading their minds and revealing their innermost secrets to the world, and no casino has ever banned psychics from the gaming room. Why? Simply put: there is no need.
Summary of the topics covered in this section:
The Scam: This will blow your mind! Learn the terrifying secret behind ‘The Scam’ that psychics use to dupe every single person (‘mark’) with an unbelievably overt phrase that mocks the very participant!
Cold Reading: Cold reading is a series of generalizing and rephrasing techniques used by psychics, fortune-tellers, and the like, to determine or express details about another person.
Hot Reading: Hot reading is the gathering and use of foreknowledge about the client by the psychic reader.
Forer/Barnum Effect: “ The Forer Effect” is also called “The Barnum Effect” after P.T. Barnum ’s astute observation that “we’ve got something for everyone.” He noticed that, statistically, individuals will give high accuracy ratings to descriptions of their personality that supposedly are tailored specifically for them
Psychics Gone Wrong : Here, I describe how most psychics attempt to weave their way out of mistakes.
The Scam
You may feel slightly insulted by the end of this page, but do read on.
From as early as I can remember, I was being taught the ‘seven areas of significance.’ The psychics all knew these seven areas. I know that many psychic readers are taught as early as I was; however, some of them learn these categories are spiritually significant and may not even be aware of how they use their own methods.
The seven areas of importance are:
TRAVEL
HEALTH
EDUCATION
SEX
CAREER
AMBITIONS
MONEY
That’s it. Seven words yet they cover every single question or topic a subject will ever have on their mind when they consult the psychic reader. A skilled reader will employ all the methods outlined in this section of the book whilst working within the framework of the seven aforementioned categories.
