How it Works: One participant at a time sits on a chair before the Fortune Teller. Fortune Teller

etc. 2 to 3 minutes each reading!). Participant receives prize.

Note: controlling line-up is key! Ensure door person only lets in participant (and parent) for the reading – no line-up inside room! NO foggers as they will set off the fire alarm
