I was at a party with some scientists (my ex got her PhD biology) trying to explain how cold reading worked so I started with - you have a friend whose name begins with M... uh, Mike and he has, has problems with his finances. The person I was talking to was freaked out b/c she had a friend named Mike who had money problems. FFS*edit* - added the PhD field
When my daughter was in high school she brought home some fellow geek students. I showed one a little demonstration of "unbendable arm" as they call it in aikido*. It's a way of keeping an arm resistant to bending under outside pressure using minimal effort. Even those who use it routinely can misunderstand what they're doing; generally speaking it's just good body mechanics.
The one I showed it to actually shrieked and jumped back. I was demonstrating it with my own arm, and using the traditional "explanation" of ki flow. I was going to then explain the physiology of it, but his reaction was so satisfying that I left him with the impression that I was some sort of Jedi master.

You can tell the sincere psychics online from the cranks by their cleavage and if they roll their eyes back in their head.
