I think a bunch of the accuracy of what I said was due to suggestion. The same thing that makes daily horoscope predictions always seem to apply. You could pick a random horoscope, give it to a believer, and they would find a way to make it seem to apply directly to them.
Going along with that, I was surely picking up clues from their reactions to the readings as they progressed. So it was a feedback loop. And the increasing effortlessness of the readings for me was surely due a bunch to developing skills and fluency with the form.
But that might just have been part of what was going on. There might well have been some ESP-ish stuff in the mix. Where does intuition end and ESP begin?
What do you think makes good readers (card, palm, ball) so accurate?
