Cold reading is a set of techniques commonly used by psychics and mediums to make people believe in the truth of what they are saying about them. It involves making general statements about a person that could apply to almost anyone (such as "you've had some difficult times in your past") and relying on the person's uncritical acceptance and positive instances to make them believe that the psychic is accurate. This technique also makes use of the Barnum effect, which refers to the tendency of people to see personal meaning in vague or general statements.
