It’s imperative to have a go-to party trick. What good are you if you have no entertainment value in a crowded gathering?! With just a few simple steps, you could become a full-fledged gypsy fortune-teller, reading palms like it’s nobody’s business!
STEP ONE
Recommended for you
Locate your innocent victim. Palm-reading is an ancient tradition, so many people believe in its powers. However, in today’s tech-savvy age, skepticism is everybody’s best friend. In order to become a successful palm reader, one must find an overly drunk, totally clueless victim to showcase their magical abilities on.
STEP TWO
Emit an exaggerated mystical vibe. This is, without a doubt, the most important step. Even if you’ve been practicing palm reading for centuries, that don’t mean SQUAT unless you emulate the right vibe! Surfers are laid back, goths are loathing, palm-readers are MYSTICAL! Wear a head scarf, get a fake mole, talk in a wispy voice, use too many metaphors! Do whatever you can to convince the crowd that you are in fact the real deal.
STEP THREE
Read the palm. Here’s the nitty-gritty of palm-reading at a party: leave everything up to interpretation. I’m going to give you the fundamentals here, but it’s up to you to “predict” palms in such a way that anybody will believe your so-called predictions.
The left hand represents one’s potential, while the right hand signifies what one has done with their potential. In short, the left hand predicts the future; the right hand tells you their past.
THE HEART LINE
Love, love, love! The heart line deals with all matters of the heart!
If their heart line starts under their index finger- they have a satisfying love life.
If it starts under their middle finger- they’re SELFISH in love!
If it starts between those two fingers- they’re hopeless romantics and fall in love WAY too easily.
A wavy heart means they have had lots of lovers.
If there are any circles or breaks in their heart line, they have had bad luck at love and get depressed easily.
THE HEAD LINE
The head line represents one’s intellect.
A curvy line means they are spontaneous, a straight line means they are practical.
A faint line can represent someone who is easily distracted. A deeper line shows that they are, in fact, deeper thinkers.
A short head line means that they are STUPID! Haha, just kidding- all it means is that they value physical accomplishments over mental ones. As a party trick, however, it’s perfectly acceptable to call someone’s stupidity out due to their short head line.
THE LIFE LINE
This line describes their *gasp* DESTINY!
If their life line is close to their thumb, it means they SLEEP- ALL THE TIME!
If it’s wider and swooping, it means they’re outgoing and passionate.
A long life line means they are confident in their resolve, while a shorter one shows they are easily swayed.
A break in one’s life line means MAJOR changes in their life.
THE FATE LINE
This line controls one’s destiny!
A deep line says that they are controlled by destiny, while a shallow one means that anything goes.
Each break or circle in this line represents a great trauma in one’s life.
By using these tips n’ tricks to palm reading, you can have a go-to trick up your sleeve at the next bonfire gathering (since autumn is slowly creeping upon us!)! Remember, the key to palm-reading is to EMIT A MYSTICAL VIBE. You are not a real gypsy fortune-teller without your crystals and septum piercing.
