Hot reading

In parapsychology, hot reading is the use of foreknowledge when giving a psychic reading. The reader can gain information about the sitter (person getting the reading) through a variety of means, such as research or overhearing a conversation. This is commonly used in conjunction with cold reading, and can sometimes explain how a psychic reader can get a specific hit.
