Brad Henderson – The Dance

The dance moves. There is a new and improved edition.

[i]“One of the most important books on Cold Reading ever written!!!”[/i] – George Daily, magic historian

The most advanced work on the subject of Cold Reading is The Dance. The Dance teaches you how to do it, unlike the manual that tells you what to do. Topics include ethics, giving readings, how to deal with skeptics, and two professional mind reading routines.

Brad Henderson’s book, The Dance, is the only other book I ever recommend. The Dance is about the psychology and art of cold reading and how it can be a real experience for the client if handled well. It explores what is going on between the psychic reader and the client in the course of a reading, and offers a lot of very good advice based on lots of practical experience. The Dance contains an embarrassment of wealth.

Cold reading is a tool used by mystery workers. A cold reader can convince his or her audience that he or she knows theirnermost thoughts. The audience can be moved by a thoughtful cold reader. A sensitive cold reader can change someone’s life for the better.

The best description of cold reading written to date. Doug Dyment is a noted bibliographer of cold reading.

For the first time in print, cold reading is approached from a functional perspective, an approach that lays bare the truly fundamental dynamics that are the heart of cold reading. In The Dance, you will learn that a lot of what you believe about cold reading is incorrect. Cold reading isn’t a script one reads hoping it applies to everyone. The exchange of information between the reader and the sitter is a process. In The Dance, you will learn how and why that process works, along with techniques to build the ideal relationship with your audience, depending on the nature of the experience you wish to convey. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it The Dance focuses on the relationship between the reader and the sitter, as well as the system and process of cold reading. He talks about the ethics of cold reading and the reasons why we do it. He describes it as a performance art.

Brad’s work on this is exemplary because he is such a strong thinker. Whether you are reading one of his books or talking to him in person, he often exhibits a nearly incomprehensible intellect, and some may feel it easy to be left behind. He writes a book with a lot of candor, which can be either refreshing or threatening, depending on whether or not you feel guilty of what he is discussing at the moment.

Brad Henderson’s The Dance will change the way you think about cold reading, magic, and even life. Brad’s approach to cold reading and consideration of the questions he raises will help you become a better communicator regardless of your audience and goals. Many of your unconscious performance choices will be questioned by the section on ethics alone. If applied artistically, the real world applications he offers will take your audience’s experience of your mentalism and magic to a much deeper, potentially meaningful, level.

If you are like most mentalists, you have a lot of unused capacity. You have had doubts as to whether you have done the right thing by spending your time and money on books full of cold reading script and rehashed Forer Statements. You need to read Brad Henderson’s book, The Dance, if you think that cold reading is all about The Barnum Effect or population stereotypes. The 1st Edition of The Dance was an important book and the Expanded 3rd Edition is better still. If you are an independent thinker who is dissatisfied with the restrictions and limitations of traditional readings, you will appreciate the intelligence and variety that Henderson’s book provides. Michael Weber said it was highly recommended.

The percentage of Dancier is now 20.

The new edition contains more content. Brad revisits the problems endemic within the modern skeptical movement, explores a new technique for expanding the accuracy of your readings within an entertainment setting, and shares a personal revelation resulting from a one-on-one encounter with the greatest psychic entertainer who has ever lived.

Many books and essays about Cold Reading have been slogged through by me. Brad Henderson’s The Dance is one of the few that I like. Brad’s book is articulate, opinionated, stubborn, and highly engaging.

There is a chance to get a copy of one of the most sought after books in the history of mentalism. When the first edition went out of print, it sold for over $600 at major magic auction sites. There are a limited number of copies of the 3rd Expanded Edition. The dance’s information is timeless. This book must be in your library if you are interested in cold reading. Order now.
