Anyone have any advise on palmistry?

Question

I bought a book on it and i plan on learning how to do it. Any tips or recommended books?

Answer 1

All the mystical ways of entertaining us are based on "tricks" that are used to amaze us. Whether it be slight of hand, telling you about your past, or predicting the future.

Palmistry is one such way of entertaining us by surprising us by reading the wrinkes (lines) in our palms.

It is really quite simple, but some palm readers throw in a few tricks they have learned from "psychics".

Strictly speaking Palm reading is a matter of detecting what would cause your particular lines (wrinkles) on your palm or palms.

for example: When some people pray they hold their hands in partiular way. After a while they will have a depression near the line that leads to the bottom of their hands. If a person prays alot, that depression or flattening of the line mentioned will be more pronounced. Therefore:

The Palm reader can declare: "I see that you are a religious person" ----- Then the person will be amazed and say "Wow! That palm reader took one look at my hand and knew I was a Christian" - or whatever.

E-mail me for a few excerpts from my book that touches on this subject.

added: Every Palm reader know immediately that I have played a lot of baseball. Why? The lines (wrinkles) on my hands reflect how I have held the baseball bat for years and years.

One more example, and then I will shut up:

When you worry, you clench your fist in a particular way. The Palmist sees that and declares " I see you have been worrying about something lately" -- or if the lines are very pronounced, the Palmist can declare, "I see that your have had a lot of problems in your life"

Answer 2

I have read many books on palmistry, the best book is an older book called Benham book of Palmistry. He devoted his life to it and has the best most in depth book I have ever read. I have noticed that with some of the new palmistry writers they are piggy backing information and not using their own intuition.. Benham on the other hand has done his own homework and in his book there are photos of hands from suicides, writers, actors, murders, ect..
Good Luck with palmistry!

Answer 3

It has no valid scientific proof, and religion believes it is a sin. If you want to read palms for entertainment only, that's fine, but don't put a lot of serious weight into the readings.

Answer 4

Watch out for hair growing on your palms.

Answer 5

Sure read up on cold reading
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Reading

because that is how every medium, tarot reader, palm reader and other charlatan does it.

Answer 6

Stay away from it. You are seeking the wrong side.
Yep, the Holy Bible. It tells it all. Even your future.

Answer 7

Leave it alone it will only lead you down a wrong path.

Answer 8

There's nothing to it, hands down.
