Orson Welles on Cold Reading
Loading...
Uploaded by Mrx2848 on Oct 21, 2010
Orson Welles discusses the nature of 'cold reading', a type of analysis used by many phony psychics and fortune tellers to trick their customers into thinking they indeed do have special powers, and how some can become so skilled at it that they actually trick themselves into believing they are truly psychic.

Four Men on a Raft - Its All True By: Orson Welles 1942 Filmed in the Fishing Village of Caponga Brazil You tube - duration 9:56 Walk in the footsteps of Orson Welles. His legendary shadow still shimmers on the golden sands and warm waters of the traditional Brazilian fishing village of Caponga. The fishermen are still there. The rafts are still there. Orson is still there! Brazil’s best kept secret Pousada Meu Refugio / Hotel ‘My Refuge’ - Caponga

This is the guy who got Nixon to confess (they made a movie about it) - modern interviewers take heed: talk less, listen more. Love David Frost (and Orson Welles) national treasure

@ChicagoSouthDan I've always associated 'cold reading' with the lame parlor trick that so called psychics pull on their vulnerable targets. I also think it is common knowledge that Orson Welles became interested in the workings of magic so I think the title is fitting.
Also, psychics are some of the most despicable people imaginable; they way they prey upon the emotionally fragile is only topped by religion... so I give much respect to Mr. Welles... and I also like Paul Masson

It is very refreshing to see that there used to be a time when the Interviewer talked less than the interviewee. Today, the Jay Lennos believe that they are so very important and interesting that they have to occupy more time than their guests, which of course makes their shows quite homogeneous and repetitive.
