So I just saw the video referenced in this week's Swift, where Randi challenges us to put on our deerstalker caps and find the methods the medium is using to do his reading. Obviously, there was some cold reading involved, and, I suspect, hot reading (is that the right term?) Were there others?

Nothing new. I'd say cold reading, it was not good enough for hot-reading. Check out his web site. He has helped the police in the UK, USA and Japan.

Slight change of subject but back in college I wrote a short story/essay about current music trends with a line to the effect.
“These days anyone who spikes their hair and DONS a dog collar thinks they’re in a punk band”
The instructor swore that “don” was not a real word
 
Hot reading link

Basically it is knowing facts about your sitter, then pretending you have got your info through woo rather than research. The above link explains it better.

Also wikipedia. Hot readingWP
