In a dark and gloomy room, the fortune teller was startled by what she saw
in her crystal ball. She looked up at her customer, sitting across the
table. "There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just be blunt. Prepare
yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death
this year."
Visibly shaken, the woman stared at the psychic's lined face, then at the
single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep
breaths to compose herself. She simply had to know.
She met the fortune teller's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked, "Will I
get away with it?"

Fake The techniques are well established, they are called 'Cold Reading', 'Barnum Statements' and Hit counting. Cold reading uses a combination of body-language and questions disguised as statements - people don't realise just how much information they are giving away. Barnum statements are statements that sound as if they are very specific, but in fact are general and could be applied to a lot of situations. Hit counting lets the teller play a game of 'twenty questions', following up any lead that gets a positive response from the sitter, and relies on the sitter forgetting all the wrong guesses and only counting those that seemed to make a hit or connection. I once gave such a reading to a group of my students, and most said it was uncanny, and applied to them very precisely. But I had in fact given them all exactly the same reading!
