Tarot, Tea-Leaves & Crystal Ball

[Poppet7]

I'm going to have my fortune read tonight. After all the ups and downs I've had recently I thought it would be a good idea to give me some life direction. I believe in things like Fortune Telling, Palm Reading and Horoscopes etc so I'm going with an open mind to see what the lady says.

I had my palm read a couple of months ago the day after I'd been in hospital and it was strange how the guy seemed to know. There had been tests done on my liver and when I had my palm read he looked and said "Don't worry, your liver is fine, just drink plenty of water"

I'm really excited and can't wait to find out what the future holds. It might help me understand my situation a bit better also. I shall let you know how it went.

Remarkable. It's uncanny isn't it?

These conpeople rely on coldreading, there are hundreds of books about it, try one and see how they know the amazing things they know

[Poppet7]

Obviously people are entitled to their views but I am very interested in all these sort of things, even down to the stones such as jade for luck (thats why I wear my jade bracelet when playing poker).

I suppose it comes down to whether you believe or not... and I do Can understand why some people don't though.

How has that worked out for you so far! What are the differences in your results with and without?

Hey at the end of the day its your money, spend it as you see fit. Just be aware it is a con.

Con is a strong word.

While it's clearly bollox, so long as they don't charge too much, and leave people feeling better than they went in, where's the harm? Maybe closure from issues, comfort that dead relatives are at peace, or the direction Poppet mentioned.

Maybe they're doing good work.

Yes, like an NHS Counsellor without the waiting list in effect. If it works to perk up the mood of the recipient it might be healthier than Prozac and fewer side effects.

Of course in practice we all send out verbal and non verbal tells to give the "expert" clues as to what we want to hear. If they tell us what we want to hear, we might come back....how the world works.


I am biased. About 20 years ago I wanted very much to develop relations with a girl I had just begun to see. She was very much into palm reading and took me along to see some old bird in her front room

I, thinking no more than I thought it would look good to be interested and participate, decided to have a reading.

The reader's first question was... "Are you gay?"

Object of my affection never really took me seriously from that moment on.

Has anyone seen Derren Brown do this. Its amazing, he does it totally cold, and his results were spookyfyingly good. I have seen him do this live, in front of an audience, were the person was chosen truly at random. Fantastic.

There maybe some thing in it but 99.9% of the poeple who do this sort of tihng are liars, cheats and experienced in cold reading.

Is there anyone out there that actually believes this stuff ?

Is there anyone out there that actually believes this stuff ?

Is it just a female thing or do any guys believe in it?

[Gryff]

I'm sorry I came across a bit overly bad in my first post, sorry - but I do feel these people are nothing but conmen and while maybe they can give people a confidence boost they can also send people down the wrong path.

On another note, Poppet, I have a friend who is the son of the ex-president of Kenya and he has a large quantity of money he needs to get out of the country - I've been told you are an honourable and reliable person and you may be able to help us. We will of course give you 10% of the $56million.

PM me about this matter urgently please.

There are DEFINITELY people in online poker rooms who have a crystal ball.

It's a woman thing.

Con is a strong word.

While it's clearly bollox,
