Been researching a lot on cold reading and been watching a lot of Psych and The Mentalist and i realized the key to cold reading someone is have exceptional observational and deductive skills and these are the keys to cold reading.
So i want to know how can i improve my skills of these? From my earlier posts you would know my desire to learn cold reading. I wanna learn how to see stuff thats too subtle for the average person.

Help?A device used to introduce a detective character and his skills. The detective mentions some fact about the person he's just met, something that is not immediately obvious and he has no way of knowing ("Quitting cigs looks like it was good for you", "How's the wedding planning going?", "You've holiday'd in Italy recently). The other character looks skeptical or surprised, then the detective describes his reasoning from a set of minor clues (state and style of clothes, marks on skin, tan, etc.) and consequent assumptions.
