How to Tell Anybody's Personality by the way they Laugh and Speak by Paul Romhany - eBook DOWNLOAD

"Finally somebody has updated cold-reading to something that is ultra-modern and a lot of fun..."
- Chris Cox UK Mentalist

"Being able to tell a person's personality by the way they laugh and speak opens up new doors for mentalism presentations as well as an amazing new way to give cold-readings."
- TC Tahoe

Imagine if you had a secret weapon that let you peek into someone’s psyche—like having x-ray vision but for personalities. Wouldn’t that give you a leg up in impressing your audience? Of course it would! Enter the science of laughter and speech analysis, or as the cool kids call it, non-verbal language.

This isn’t just some gimmicky parlor trick; it’s an essential tool for seasoned performers. Top magicians and mentalists are already integrating this technique into their shows, crafting themes that resonate and even offering cold-readings over the phone. Yes, you read that right—phone readings!

Picture this: you’re on stage, and you want to pick the perfect volunteer. Instead of just pointing randomly, you can actually gauge who might be the best fit by tuning into their laughter and speech patterns. This book is your ticket to a whole new realm of possibilities, whether you're dishing out cold readings, connecting with your audience, or just wanting to appear more insightful (and, let’s be honest, a bit mystical).

Paul Romhany and Ken Ring have spent over a decade crafting this gem, “How To Tell Anybody's Personality By The Way They Laugh And Speak.” Inside, you’ll uncover how to break down various laughter types and speech patterns, all while taking your readings to the next level. Romhany even builds his entire one-man show around these concepts, keeping the laughs rolling while slipping in readings. It’s a brilliant way to keep your audience engaged and entertained without losing the essence of what you do.

For the first time, this treasure is available to the magic and mentalism community. You’ll learn how to weave this into your act and give readings that will leave folks wondering if you’ve got a crystal ball in your pocket.
