‎[To whoever’s interested in the beguiling experience I went through on the last of my business trip to Manhattan New York]

I received a professional tarot reading, or a “cold reading,” in English for the first time on the last day of my business trip to Manhattan, New York. No, it’s not like I like this kind of thing. It is just that I translated a book into Japanese last year called “the Nightmare Alley,” which is about a young magician meeting a clairvoyant to become one himself. I kind of went in for fun, but she was so smooth it really freaked me out. I’ll just write down some of the main subtle phrases she used (obviously they are not in the exact wording but you can still get the point). It can be said that she forked my past precisely but at the same time, they are phrases which could be applied to anybody (you call them stock spiels). Still, the bold, calm and caring but not too personal way she told it to me was really convincing. Had I not known the secret of this art, I might have paid her the amount of money she asked for. (I excluded how I answered her because they are quite personal and you wouldn’t want to read it lol).

I see something dark in the father side of your relatives.
I see dark aspects in your past and they are very strong. It is getting stronger as you grow.
You’re in a cycle. You’re making efforts but you are not receiving what you deserve.
Have you been working with papers?
I see a lot of numbers around you.
Make one wish in your mind and say one wish to me. I will look into your spirit.
I see the word S. Is there a person with an S in the name who you are working with, because that person is very important to you?
The card “death” indicates and end and a start.
2012 is an important year for you.
April is a very strong month for you this year.
To get a good a start, you need to be spiritually strong and purified in April.
Whether you are ready in April determines your next 7 years.
The next 7 years is very important for you.
The dark aspects are keeping you away from the success you deserve.
You just keep working hard you have your opportunities you have great talent but you do not receive what you deserve because of the dark side.
You had a great chance last year but did not receive what you could have.
I see confusion in the love aspect.
Because of the dark side you distrust people and you disconnect with people. But to succeed you need to relate and trust people but you cannot do that yourself because of the dark aspect.
You must cure yourself spiritually.
It’s like seeing a doctor if you are physically sick. You are sick, spiritually.
Your distrust is keeping you away from your success.
Don’t keep yourself away from good things for you.
…
In the end of the approximate 30 minute tarot session she suggested I pay $600 for a crystal for good luck, 3 weeks meditation on her part using candles to look into my spirit and family spiritual background and find solutions. I know if I pay this she is going to go for another $1,000- or so and on and on till I find the absurdness and quit (or lose all my money and my mind). I only gave her the initial $35 for the reading and left. And I am heading back to Japan in about 6 more hours as I write this.

Cold reading is an awesome and beguiling art. And I am still kind of spooked.

PS:
I taped the whole session on my iPhone and still haven’t listened to it. I am going to go through it one more time during my 14 hours’ flight back to Japan. What really scares me is that during the reading her eyes seemed completely focused on my breast pocket where I hid the phone. She was either focusing on my breast pocket or my eyes.

And thanks for reading such a long article!
