Try-ons are statements made by psychic readers that are intentionally vague and designed to elicit a response from the person receiving the reading. They are crafted in such a way that if they resonate with the person, they are seen as accurate ("hits"), but if they do not, they can be easily dismissed or reinterpreted, thus minimizing the risk of being perceived as incorrect ("misses").
