It's against our religion to believe in it. I don't see anything wrong if you go for entertainment purposes though and don't revolve your life around what is being said.

I thought it would be fun. It's a bunch of nonsense, but I thought it would be fun to see how much he could get right. Well, he could tell that I wasn't going to give him any information to make better guesses with and he got mad. That's when he started giving me "bad" news. Everything in my future was supposed to be bad or a mistake. He told me my husband had another child out there somewhere, etc. I think what made him the maddest was that I didn't believe any of it and that he couldn't make me wonder about my husband. He was really mad by the time I left.

I wouldn't do it again, because those people are a little nutty. They know it's nonsense, but they get mad when their customers don't beleive it's real. What difference does it make to them? I paid the fee just like the gullible people paid. He probably wanted my repeat business, and knowing that I was there only for fun, he was sure I wasn't coming back.

I don't believe in any of it, but it could be fun if the person telling the fortune admitted that it's a game and played just for fun. Some people are really good a guessing and reading other people--even when the other person is trying not to show any reaction to the guesses.

There are some people out there that can actually tell someone their fortune. In Vegas, once at the Aladdin, there was this guy who charged alot of money but his way was so different than the others who worked there. He used a pen and paper and told people not only their past, but their present and future. His deal was tell the people about their past, so that way they knew he was real, before telling them their present. How would he know their past, or what's presently going on right? So once he had the people convinced, he would then tell them their future. It was scary, but exciting. I never went to him, but people were lined up to see him. Too bad the Aladdin did away with it, and now its called Planet Hollywood, so no more of these people there. I wonder where this guy is now?
