Bill Cordingley

For as long as he can remember Bill Cordingley was fascinated by the idea that our faces, our palms, our handwriting, the stars, or our names might reveal intimate secrets about character, personality, potential, drives and more. So, from a very young age, he studied and looked for ways to know people better.

It wasn't until 1972, a year after graduating from Harvard, that his searching truly paid off. It was then that he met Mazury O'Connell, the creator of this extraordinary new face reading technique. That meeting literally changed his life. For nearly an hour one afternoon, Mrs. O'Connell analyzed Bill's face, telling him things that usually only life-long friends might know. She listed dozens and dozens of things about him, including many personality traits he didn't yet realized or experienced (but did later). 

She described his abilities, drives, likes and dislikes, needs and more. She told him about dating and what his compatible partners would look like. What facial features to avoid (because they didn't suit his personality). How to find romance and compatible women. What careers he would thrive in and which to avoid. 

It was clear she knew him intimately, even though they had never met before. They talked for several hours. Amazed by her accuracy and detailed insights into his personality, he recognized immediately that he had found something of enormous potential value, and committed himself to introducing her exciting new technique to the world.  

For over 18 months Bill and Mrs. O'Connell systematically explored and recorded her face reading methods with the goal of writing their "how to" book on the subject. As he learned how to read faces, he also started to use it. That's when he discovered its surprising value. He analyzed just about every girl he met to see if they would be a good match. He analyzed his bosses at work. And, very quickly, he proved to himself how accurate and useful this face reading technique really is.

Bill eventually moved to New York. There he earned Masters Degrees in both Journalism and Business Administration from Columbia University and found .

Mrs. O'Connell's analysis had also pointed out that Bill had a number of personality traits that would make him a good politician. Sure enough, he found a keen interest in local politics and eventually spent four years as a Town Council Member, including one year as mayor, of his hometown in northern California.
