New act I am doing this Fall. I do Phrenology readings and demonstrations.

I love it! What a great concept. I hope you post performance videos, because I am looking forward to see how you present this! Is this going to be a "snake oil"-type act, along the lines of Magnetized Water or Amazing Miracle Oil, or something different?

There are two presentations. One is for giving readings at private parties and corporate events, like a palmist or tarot card reader. The other will be a presentation for stage. It will be a psychometry type presentation, where the Phrenologist can identify a person's chosen object by reading his head.

Well, I'm just getting it together. It is a way for me to practice cold reading before I take on the Sphere of Destiny routine, which is a Question and Answer act, and requires a lot of cold reading.
I like Phrenology because it is not seen so much as Tarot and Palmistry. Using Phrenology for cold reading is a great idea, which I got from a John Riggs book. He did all the heavy lifting for this sort of routine. It just fitted the Pop Haydn character so perfectly, and the whole bias confirmation and self selection that is behind Phrenology is the same as behind cold reading. I do these routines straight, the way Pop would. Pop was a Spiritualist medium, Crystal Ball reader, and Phrenologist during part of his conman career. A good billet switcher and cold reader should be able to take over a country... |

Oh, there is an abundance. Plenty free on Google books. It is pretty dreary reading.
