What does a fortune teller do at an event?

An event fortune teller gives short, light-hearted readings using tarot cards, palm reading or a crystal ball. Each reading takes a few minutes, and guests come away with a story to tell the rest of the table.

Readings are for entertainment only and kept positive and fun. A fortune teller in costume, with a draped table or small tent, adds atmosphere to circus, masquerade and vintage fair themes as well as Halloween and Christmas parties.

Where it works best

Hen and birthday parties
Readings that get everyone laughing.
Halloween parties
Atmosphere and a little mystery.
Masquerade balls
Readings by candlelight for masked guests.
Christmas parties
A fun queue between drinks.
Weddings
Something light-hearted for guests during photos.
Circus and showman themes
A mystic's tent at the travelling fair.

Tips from our team

1
Dress the space
A draped table, candles or a small tent makes the corner part of the theme.
2
Keep it light
We brief readers to keep everything fun and positive, which is what guests want at a party.
3
Create a quiet corner
Readings work best a little away from the loudest speakers so guests can hear.
