Doing that is called a "hot reading." A cold reading is where the psychic has no inside information on the mark and uses tricks to make them believe the psychic got it right on various guesses.
I don't think this phenomenon has anything to do with MKUltra.
My point is not technique but the fact the telephone hotline exploded in trend in the 90's for no good reason and every one knew it was artificial and a con, but feds never cracked down on it. Not until a decade later after Miss Cleo committed tax fraud. Just does not sit right with me on reflection and now know as much about MK and other programs.
In the 1980s, those 900 numbers were for sale and lots of people bought them in anticipation of having a company set up some sort of pay-per-minute service on them. Lots of cookie cutter businesses.
Ayh know and remember but -- it was how tolerant every thing was in the 90's is my emphasis. Ayh remember it clearly and aym even watching old shows with commercials and seeing the abundance again (and how artificial it was even in ads) and remembering the behavior and disregard of "authorities" about it. It was labeled entertainment but also acknowledged as fraud -- gov never did any thing about it. That strikes me odd.

Mostly no. But Sylvia Brown and some others may be involved.
