In most every city, there is at least one psychic, or fortune teller. Psychic readings can be fun and informative whether working out of a house, an office, over the phone, online, at a carnival, festival or in a city entertainment district. When seeking out any occultist or spiritualist for such advice, it is important to know the difference between a true professional and those committing fraud.
The most common of which are palm and tarot. While many claim to be able to read palms, using cards appeals to others. Of course, as tarot decks cost money, a number of psychics prefer to only read palms. While, there are also those who provide different types of readings at one event.
Individuals doing so have been known to become regulars who work hours outside fairs and festivals, often at the request of the venue. One reader in Texas often had a line around the corner on Saturday nights, thanks to referrals from the restaurant who provided a space for the psychic to set up shop.
When it comes to the New Orleans French Quarter, and Austin's 6th Street's entertainment district, those working are most likely truly psychic. A good test as to whether or not a reader is truly gifted, is if one has return clientele. And, as there have been those working out of offices arrested for fraudulent activity, using some type of test, or obtaining references from past clients can often be a good idea.
The other items any psychic may want to have on hand, both for decoration and use are a crystal ball, incense, a candle (if allowed, otherwise a flashlight that resembles a candle from a distance will work nicely, ) especially when working at night. And, above all else, a bottle of water and enough food and other drinks for the duration of the event.
When it comes to deciding which deck(s) or tool(s) to use for a reading, it is important that the reader have a connection with the imagery and meaning of the cards. For example, someone providing readings at a Pagan or Wiccan festival may want to use a deck like the "Goddess Oracle, " by Hrano Janto, while Buddhists may want to use the "Buddha Tarot, " which came out a few years ago.
One of the most important tools one has when providing readings at a faire, festival, special event, or on a regular basis, doesn't come in a box and is something which cost nothing. What you ask? A smile, a smile is one of the biggest assets anyone has which can be used to capture the attention of another human being.
While these psychically gifted individuals may work at singles events, and other private parties, it is always important to remember that one is there to provide a service, not participate in festivities, that is unless invited to do so. When working at events, or in entertainment districts, it is also important to follow any laws, rules and guidelines with regards to the area, or location one may be working in at the time.
