(i wanted to say crushed fritos, but not one word, obv.) an added fortune-telling bonus would be any grease markings left on a paper plate/towel as a base. sometimes i wonder how "psychics" stay so in character when face-to-face with clients. (certainly the over-the-phone/internet readings would be a breeze) i reckon having a background as an actor would come in handy. one divination word for you: fritos.

If you don't like your fortune, just ask for another reading. Repeat until you get the fortune you like. Tarot cards are the best fortune telling tool.

Makes me wonder what other untapped markets the psychics should try; maybe southern psychics should have their clients chew some tobacco then spit, and they could read the future in the tobacco leaves.
