mind-reader
Knows your thoughts
A mind-reader is someone who claims or appears to know what others are thinking without being told.
The term covers stage performers who use tricks to simulate telepathy, as well as anyone with uncanny intuition: How did you know I wanted pizza? Are you a mind-reader?
Often used sarcastically when someone expects you to anticipate their unstated wishes: I'm not a mind-reader—you have to tell me what you want.
