Reading Writing

There is nothing more powerful than a personalized reading.

If you do readings for friends and colleagues, you'll become more popular and meet new people. If you do a reading in your mentalism or magic act, you'll enjoy greater rapport with your audience-especially with women. People will line up to get a reading or even to hire you for their next event. And if you do readings professionally, you'll have a fun and lucrative second career. Imagine getting paid to spend an evening chatting with people and handing out your business card!

Because handwriting analysis is based on psychology, it is more believable and acceptable than divination systems. In fact, it opens doors that remain closed to other kinds of readers.

Handwriting analysis also has the advantage of being usable as a presentational device for the modern 'psycho-babble' style of mentalism, as performed by Derren Brown, Banachek, and Marc Salem, among others. As Lee Earle put it: "[Handwriting analysis] will be the hot premise for a lot of future Mentalism because it bridges the gap between the believable and the impossible."
