"If you have any interest at all in cold reading, this instructive and inspirational lecture is essential viewing. It would be hard to imagine a more useful or entertaining introduction to practical cold reading —whether you want to give one-on-one readings or weave cold reading into a theatrical show. Krystyn explains it all: the history, the ethics, the best techniques, how to start, how to improve and even her personal ‘roadmap’ for giving readings. What’s more, you get to see Krystyn perform some of her ‘signature’ routines, such as ‘Tarot Impulse’, ‘Q&A’ and ‘Dreams’ — all of which are charming, engaging and highly entertaining. Krystyn already has countless fans, of which I’m one. Thanks to this must-see lecture, I expect she’ll soon have many more." - Ian Rowland

"Krystyn Lambert’s Penguin Live lecture is a thorough, thoughtful, and compassionate introduction to the subject magicians have come to refer to as ‘cold reading.’ ALL performers - well, at least those who strive to transcend puzzles and create moments of real magic for themselves and others - will benefit from the insights she shares from her experiences as reader, performer, and human being." - Brad Henderson

"Krystyn gives a lot of great and practical advice on cold reading. She is fantastic at giving guidance and has a lot of empathy for her audiences which are both essential qualities you want to have in a reader." - Eric Dittleman

"There is nothing "cold" about the readings Krystyn does. She approaches each reading with tremendous empathy for the people she is reading. In this lecture, she teaches how you can do this. The result will be you doing readings that are truly unique to who you are. This is what cold reading is all about." - Todd Robbins

Cold Reading is a skill that utilizes a set of techniques to pick up on and address verbal, non-verbal, and most importantly INTUITIVE cues that give you the ability to connect with people. It allows you to tell them things about themselves that shed new light on their lives that you would have no way of knowing otherwise. There’s almost no one better in the world at this than Krystyn Lambert. In her first Penguin Live Lecture, she is going to share the secrets of how she has become a leading performer of this secretive art and give you the tools you need to unlock your spectator's minds.

Nearly three hours in length you’ll see exclusive performance footage shot in front of a live theatre audience of Krystyn’s actual working act. Then you’ll get an exclusive breakdown of how she plucks thoughts from people’s heads and expands them into full reveals that put jaws on the floor. Hosted by Erik Tait, this in-depth discussion of Cold Reading is the real work that you can’t get anywhere other than Penguin Magic.

After you learn Krystyn’s approach to Cold Reading, she gives you a crash course in Q&A. The audience writes down personal questions that they want the answer to, and even though she’s never seen anything they have written down, she is not only able to divine the question but also give a meaningful answer directly to the person who wrote it down. This is one of the purest forms of Mentalism and yet another rare chance to gain insight on performing it from one of the top pros performing this incredible act nightly across the country.

Along the way, Krystyn teaches you hard-hitting effects that you can use to practice your new skills while still performing real magic. You’ll learn effects with Tarot Cards, Pendulums, and a dream interpretation effect that feels like you are actually recounting someone’s real dream. These effects come from Krystyn’s working theater show and have been road-tested in the real world in front of thousands of audiences.

Krystyn Lambert’s Penguin Live Lecture reintroduces you to one of the brightest minds in magic. From her time working with Criss Angel to touring internationally, writing for Genii Magazine, and now being one of the most in-demand mentalists in the world, Krystyn has emerged as one of the most innovative and compelling mentalists in the modern age.
