If I scan in my palms and post the pictures here, think any of you palmists can give me a good reading?

What - a free reading? You've got to be kidding!

Seriously, though - you're likely to get a good reading, but my thinking is let's not go there. You don't need to be 'psychic' to see how the thread will probably turn out.. (based on the title to start with)

But - if you're really interested, why don't you get a book on palm reading and see for yourself?

Ooh apparently, according to a well-known palm reader of our area, you should never read your own palm.

The "No one will do it for free" thing was expected.

I was just curious as to whether anyone would be able to come up with anything that vaguely matched me

Yeah go on then. Or PM me. I'm game for a laugh.

You a palmist Ian? I did not know that... I will be scanning my hands later on this evening... I shall PM you then if you so wish...

do it on the forums!

He he.

Believe it or not your posts on here have revealed an awful lot about who you are. Any one into this type of stuff worth their salt should have no problems nailing your personality and "revealing" things about yourself that you thought only you knew.

There's a lot of posts to read through.

I would be interested as to how close they could get though, even with a large amount of posts to read through...

Truthfully, reading inked impressions of people's hands is the old school method for learning palmistry. I'd encourage those of you interested in getting a study group together, swap hand-prints and go for it! I'd even like to see some of them... been a long time since I've played with palmistry and it's something I should brush up on.

Would you like to do a reading on me Craig?

Good chance to "brush up" on it?

I must inform the impertinent waif from Cambridgeshire that I am an expert palmist. I have read thousands upon thousands of palms and would be happy to do it for him. Furthermore I use genuine palmistry and do not resort to all the silly cold reading methods that are prevalent.

It is indeed true that I have gleaned details about him from his writings but I will of course ignore that. However perhaps a better method for the unbelievers among us would be to put 3 or 4 palms up here without telling who they belong to.

Of course that would be quite a bit of work for me and I may get bored with the whole idea. However I am quite capable of doing it.

I had no idea that you could scan palms into computers. There could be a whole new way of getting money from all over the world here for me. On the other hand it would take forever to type in a reading by reply.

When the clouds opened and I first became psychic I did it by mail order palm readings. The punters would send in a photocopy of their palms and I would send them a taped reading. Later I graduated to doing it in person. However it was not until I developed the ability to read the tarot that I really started to make money.

For those of you who are interested in this type of thing I would advise that palmistry is more of a character analysis although it will tell the future in a general sense. It can be terribly, terribly accurate.

The tarot on the other hand is somewhat less accurate but far more powerful. It predicts events and gives insights to problems.

There were dozens of newspaper articles written about my work in Ireland. Full page articles and indeed two page spreads. Truly I am in great and wondrous awe at my own brilliance.

It has just struck me that it may be more amusing and convincing to describe a person's palm without having seen it by reading their posts and trying to figure out what sort of person they are. Once I have discovered that then all I have to do is describe the palm.

For example I bet Bobby Cat has very few lines on his hands. If he were to hold out his hand flat and I were to press on the thumb I bet it would not bend easily. The same would go for Craig Browning.

Ecko zero has very short fingers. I expect there would also be a gap between his head line and life line.

Reverend Browning would have longer fingers and quite a lot of lines.

All of the above people were born at a very early age and as time goes by they will all get older.

Mark, expect a nice big fat PM sitting in your inbox soon!

I am highly amused to see that you do admit to having short fingers and furthermore even more highly amused to see that your head and life line do have a gap as I thought it would. Most head and life lines are joined at the beginning. Yours aren't. And I knew they wouldn't be.

For your information the head line is the horizontal line in the middle of the hand. It is one of the four most prominent lines in the hand. The life line is the one which goes in a curve down the length of the hand. It runs parallel to the base of the thumb.

Mark,

unfortunately you didn't get to answer my questions of you regarding palm reading before that "other" thread was shut down. it appears however that your comments here have addressed my questions in part because you make it clear you believe you do not need to be in the same room as the person who's palm you are reading.

it will be interesting to hear from Eckozero how he feels about your reading. i cant say that of itself would make me a believer however, simply because i myself could glean something about people who have posted so many messages here... someone with your expertise may be able to work out what brand of tooth paste he uses! it would be great if Eckozero agrees, and you are also happy, if the reading could appear on this thread. if not, fair enough...

i imagine you dont want to be fielding palm reading requests from everyone at TM... unless of course you can charge for them... so i wont ask for a "freebie" nor will i offer to pay for one. you can decide.

what i am interested to ask you though... are you suggesting that when you do Eckozero's reading, EVERYTHING you conclude will be gleaned from the picture of his palm? i dont ask this because i fear you'll study every post he's ever made before commenting (although many would resort to that since it makes perfect sence). i ask because i found your "higher than normal level of intuition" comments in the "other" thread, a quite believable and logical explaination for this. however in the absence of the person... ie. all you have is a picture of the palm, i must assume that you say you are gleaning everything from the picture itself. correct???

I also note you refer to the fact you feel Mr Browning and I would both have somewhat "unflexible" thumbs. whatever gave you that idea??? can you tell my age? what do i do for a living?

do the rules of "exposure" apply to this type of thing???

I find this a most impressive offer of confidence. i am starting to think not all psychics have a concern over accountability. perhaps if you are seriously interested in this you can confirm so. maybe you would even allow me to control the test conditions. unlike Randi i would advise you of all the conditiions in advance so there were no surprises... not too much in advance mind you.

of course the delight of all this assumes you could be bothered and seriously, genuinely, i could understand if you could not be bothered.

either way, your preparedness to expose yourself to scrutiny and questioning i find most interesting... but i guess you knew that already!
