I noticed a lot of spelling errors in your videos. I am willing to help with editing for a fee.

[@FarFromAverage]

Aaron you must be psychic because I was reading something about body language, and it talked about how psychics read people with body language, and I was thinking about doing a video on something similar, but you beat me to it! Your subs are growing quick man good job. -Julian

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

FarFromAverage Thanks man. Well don't let me stop you from making a video about this topic 😊

[@ProactiveThinker]

Your animation is just booming, awesome job!

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Thanks man. appreciate it.

[@AirElegant]

Can we have "Positively Thinker" collaboration video? =D +Proactive Thinker +Positively Brainwashed

[@RICKYDUVALL]

Another great video. Definitely has some useful tips! can't wait for the next one!

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Thanks Ricky, always appreciate your support

[@leaf3827]

I just listened to a taped reading my girlfriend had last week, 25 misses, 4 hits in 30m XD

[@SiimLand]

Awesome video. My favourite one was 'vanishing negatives' 02:12. You can use it to turn around any situation.

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

You don't run a self-help KZbin channel as well, do you?

[@SiimLand]

I do. Not animations but similar advice as you

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Yeah that's what I thought

[@SiimLand]

We'll see around ;)

[@mystupidfacebook]

Women use this all the time to win a fights.

[@MorganWable]

Can you do a video specifically on the Sherlock method? I find it very interesting and I'd love to see some real life examples or even some common observations you could make.

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

I wouldn't be able to make a video long enough just on this topic, and don't think it's worth 10 hours of editing. Best I can do is give you this link that lists the 9 Sherlock Strategy examples from the book and the author's interpretation. docs.google.com/document/d/1PpTvg1DxeZOnj94YOGBR3y4zETD0KhrWWOx0ntZEVEo/edit?usp=sharing

[@MorganWable]

Positively Brainwashed awesome, thanks!

[@martyg8137]

it's awesome how you always reply to your subscribers!

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

I don't know I missed this comment, but thank you for noticing 😀

[@karenkay2773]

Great video. Loved the vanishing negatives technique

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Thanks Karen

[@LB-mr8qv]

Yooo you can do so much damage with these techniques. When the narrator said at 2:59 "yeah, that's what I thought", I died laughing, I think because of it's implications. You could pair this and other rhetorical techniques to do a confidence scam.

[@KyleCPM]

This was more about imposing & negating predictions of people, and less about reading people. #D sorry. Don't worry though I'm more honest than some many or most people. Cold Reading: 7:44 Sherlock technique. [observe & guess] Imposing Prredictions & Negation: 0:59 Yes and no but 2:10 Vanishing Negatives. [didn't you?] 3:11 Barnum statements. [true for many ] 3:57 Rainbow Ruse. [Choose your bipolar personality] 4:35 Fine Flatery.. by comparison [You are great.. compared to some many] 5:17 Phychic Credits. [Convince them of them, then you ] 5:47 Sugar Lumps 6:08 Jaques Statement. [stages we go through] 6:47 Incidental Questions. [just ask an imposition, but sound phychic] 8:11 Likely Predictions. [You'll get stuck in the rain this summer] 8:52 One(or two) Way Verification Predictions. [They will if they dont] #WasntLying #YourWelcome, #Index From a #GoodTroll. .."calling me a troll.."

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Thanks for your input. But I'm going by Wikipedia's definition of 'Cold Reading'. Cold reading is a set of techniques used by mentalists, psychics, fortune-tellers, mediums and illusionists to imply that the reader knows much more about the person than the reader actually does.

[@Ellellevlog]

I feel like I would be terrible at this. I'm so bad at conversations hahaha

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

That's hard to imagine for someone who does a lot of Vlogs. I guess you prefer monologues 😁

[@Ellellevlog]

There are no other people involved when it's just me talking!

[@Phil-sp2kb]

I sense you like to vlog and you are a girl. That's right I just blew your mind

[@trailertrashfire]

What's the title of that book? I wish there was a venue where people could practice on people

[@yeymidiaz9538]

Lol i have a coworker who thinks im psychic, even though i tell her im not. Just by listening to her talk about her zodiac and giving other people their zodiac personality types i assumed she read tarot and she was floored i knew that, but i didnt i guessed. Than as we were talking i told her my cats name was jasper and she was floored again because she had a jasper stone in her pocket lol she is now convinced im psychic but it was just lucky guesses and coinscidences lol i might show her this video

[@jamal10001800]

binged about 4 vids now and subbed keep up the great content man

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Really appreciate the support and motivation. Working on the next one as I write this :)

[@lancebriggs3404]

This is some next level black magic sh*t. Nice video man. And you're videos are getting better and better in quality!

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Haha, thanks man

[@wolfsukabooksummaries7107]

Great video! It really makes you think about guys like John Edwards ...

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Oh definitely. Btw, I'm sensing someone named Sarah is important to you.

[@wolfsukabooksummaries7107]

Ugh not really. It's complicated. ("BUT she was at one time." "Oh yes very much.")

[@kathyromo2446]

It’s true. I used to read tarot for a ton of people including strangers and honestly as time went on o kinda stopped believing myself and did some research turns out I’m just amazing at reading people and telling them what their desperately wanting to hear. The way I started was I’d say I can’t tell you your future your in charge of the reading so I’d let them shuffle and pick cards or I’d amaze them with the shuffling and cards magically fly out and it just so happen to fit their narrative but in reality all I was doing was reading word per word the description of said card and they themselves would feed me answers and I basically just reworded it and was super animated and loud or quiet and mysterious and would constantly say idk YOU pulled these cards YOU asked for these answers so if something went wrong it’s on them and they didn’t focus hard enough on their questions. But I honest to go thought I was reading these people and talking with spirit 😂 till I discovered I was just doing cold readings and am a master manipulator

[@VondaInWonderland]

hehe, 7:45 I have long nails on my left and short on my right, been searching for that perfect left handed guitar ♥

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

That's amazing!

[@VondaInWonderland]

Positively Brainwashed Right ♥

[@Octopussyist]

Which one I liked the most? Actually, what I liked the most was that you end the video with such a question - because it suggests me to think I must have liked all of them to some degree (which I actually did).

[@therobotguy4946]

The funny thing is, i have met a spiritual medium that told me things about my personal thoughts that only i know. Even if someone tries to cold read, the fact that he actually believes in it that works makes a bridge to the small unconscious parts of the intuition

[@googleBryce]

You should always finish a cold reading by explaining what you just did and tell people that all mediums/psychics are fakes. We wan't people to know the truth and not let them to eventually be fooled into spending money on something like this in the future.

[@SimplyJeet]

Good to see a video after a while Aaron Tupaz!

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Thanks. I gave up the software I was initially using due to limitations, so I was building my own :)

[@OTHERVERSETCG]

Positively Brainwashed you built your own software?

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

+Sam & Aaron Sorry I didn't mean I built an entire software from scratch. I just started using only Screenflow to make my videos. I made a lot of templates from Adobe After Effects. But the point is, I'm no longer using a traditional whiteboard animation software.

[@booksofthebillionaires]

Positively Brainwashed What do you feel were the limitations of what you used before? Was it VideoScribe btw? Thanks!

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

+Books of the Billionaires - Summaries & Reviews Yes VideoScribe was very limiting. I couldn't customize the background unless I chrome keyed it, but then I'd be missing an important colour. It also limited me from doing multiple actions simultaneously, like zooming and moving an object at the same time, or moving 2 or objects simultaneously. I also couldn't do many of the object transition effects, like objects popping up, rotating in various xyz axis. There's quite a long list.

[@fluffy3355]

Me to a random person: "Hey! you're tired and depressed too?!"

[@Phil-sp2kb]

I predict someone reading this had an elderly relative that died due to cancer who you was very close to and they though a lot of you. They were like a father figure to you or maybe your father. I'm getting the name J or at G that sounds like a J. HE said he is very happy and is not longer suffering. HE is also looking after a dog.

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Well my grandma recently died of cancer 6 months ago, and her name was Julia.

[@Phil-sp2kb]

@@PositivelyBrainwashed that's what I thought. Lol I Hate these scum bags that prey on vulnerable people. My wife had a reading lastnight and it was total BULL! I told her always remember "Even a broken clock is right 2 times a day"

[@zillionist]

Love your channel, great topics!

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Thanks zioolist, glad you enjoy the topics :)

[@MsMaine619]

Hey, not sure if I am getting this right but in “vanishing negatives” when you asked person at first “you don’t work for yourself, do you? and you got it right as person said “no I don’t”, shouldn’t you say “that’s what I thought” (as you got it right!!!) instead of “no I did not think so??? So it looks to me like all depends on what person answers, if it’s positive or negative answer and not as you said if it’s right or wrong 2:24

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

What you last wrote is correct :) But more importantly, how confident your response sounds is even more important.

[@DNAtive21]

I like ur techniques. Keep it up. Great job!

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback

[@negativelybrainwashed6755]

I always choose D)

[@onestephigher5045]

keep em coming. good stuff

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Cool new Display Picture, almost didn't recognize you :D

[@INatalkaI]

My MIL does the psychic calls and Facebook groups, she really believes this stuff. Next time I'll ask if I can listen in and see if I recognize the techniques.

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

There's a section in the book that teach you how to test if someone is a fake psychic or not. If you ever go on the call, pretend to give false information, like say you're a Scorpio instead of a Libra for example. Then after they make predictions, tell them you actually made a mistake.

[@ourochroma]

So it's basically talking neutrally and get them to think you knew stuff all along

[@kayla7562]

Well of course. Just some weird/manipulative techniques scam artist use for all sorts of scams.

[@raisedonAMradio]

Just ask 300 questions in less than 20 minutes. Ask about months, days, gender, family. You can cold read anyone. It’s an old carny trick.

[@notsquirrel8141]

Interesting. I need to work on being more perceptive of people so I can use these better.

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

I suggest you take a look at my vide, "How to Read Body Language and Influence Others" if you haven't already. It might help :)

[@marinagaughtblattz2879]

Thank you for this! Cold reading is an excellent way to establish context as s Tarot reader who’s neither clairvoyant or clairaudient. 😊

[@anthonydavies8318]

So you're lying.

[@TranceCore3]

Yeah like cold reading for 10 minutes, then luring people over to your extended reading, where you do even more cold reading.

[@kayla7562]

How about you just don’t establish context as a tarot reader if you’re not clairvoyant. I hope you have already failed miserably as a con artist. Stop taking advantage of people with mental disabilities/illness, weirdo.

[@imadorkidontcare7688]

I'd like to go to a psychic, because a LOT of these weren't true for me in the least It'd be funny to see a psychic get it wrong even after the "no.. but"

[@Cherie960]

Most "mediums" just read off the same standard script unless they can search your Facebook account or online information first. It amazes me how many people fall for it. Throw in some very common names like Paul, Margaret, John, Lynne / Linda, Dave, Anthony/ Tony etc... There's a gentleman here who died of heart or chest issues. There's a lady who died of cancer. A young man who died of tragedy. They are with a baby. Did you or someone around you have a miscarriage? There's a dog there with them. Where's the link to uniform? Military? Your grandad wore hats / smoked. There's a ring / necklace of your mams / female relatives. There's a watch of your dad's/ male relatives. They're acknowledging a disagreement in the family. Whose getting the memorial tatoo? Did you do something to remember them with candles / balloons? There's a birthday/ anniversary coming up. There's a photo that's been framed / blown up / put on a canvas. Whose been having headaches? Whose moving? Buying a new car? They're showing me keys. You're getting a ring or necklace made out of their ashes. You've kept some of their clothing. You're getting something made out of their T-shirts / shirts. Memory bears or blankets etc. You sleep with something of theirs, a hoody or jacket perhaps? Whose decorating? You went to see them after they passed. You touched them and kissed them. You put a single rose / flower and a letter in the coffin with them. People disagreed on elements of the funeral. They're showing me paperwork that still needs to be sorted out. All standard, generic, scripted statements that apply to most people. Unless they can search your Facebook account or obituaries first they'll never tell you things that are important only to you like your favourite song, last film you watched together etc. They'll never tell you specific memories that you have of them.

[@madeleineb2003]

how to trick someone in loving you

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

I do not condone this, unless you're that awesome and wroth loving and will give more than receive. Hence why I added a warning at the end.

[@gregarmstrong5951]

That's right, you want only the right person to love you freely... with that being said can you do a video about engaging women over all in interesting and intriguingly flattering conversation?

[@lanier2141]

You already have a musical melodic personality about you, no need to use tricks for a guy to like that! That's already attractive!!👌

[@uhadme]

63 trolls according to the options given.. DOH 64

[@rhapzodyb]

How did you know I was going to troll your comment section? Hahaha

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Cuz it's fun to troll :)

[@thatsright4650]

First

[@jessiepoirier8962]

Nooo, I wanted first :(

[@alanacoke904]

Big up to all the real psychics who really have intuition and can read people shame on the fakes.... I did a phone reading with a lady in Nigeria and she was able to tell me so much she was able to say names of people in my life and tell me about exact situations I was going through and to give me Insight to an enemy who I thought was a friend ...... at the end of the reading my mind was literally blown I was shaking /crying and to this day it still gives me the chills it was not vague questions or anything like that and it was over the phone ...but then again she's in Africa and that's the *real* deal ....just get a real reading from a true authentic person

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

Or you can also be opened to the fact that you were tricked. Fake psychics have ways of researching information about their clients. I recommend reading this book to be able to expose fake psychics during readings.
