Psychic
A
psychic
is a person who claims to use
extrasensory perception
(ESP) to identify information hidden from the normal
senses
. The word "psychic" is also used as an adjective to describe such abilities. Psychics may be theatrical performers, such as
stage magicians
, who use techniques such as
prestidigitation
,
cold reading
, and
hot reading
to produce the appearance of such abilities. Psychics appear regularly in
fantasy fiction
, such as in the novel
The Dead Zone
by
Stephen King
.
