I’ve heard people get their fortunes told correctly and I never believed it, until my mother had her fortune told and they gave her an uncanny amount of info about me that eventually came true.
Obviously I don’t believe in this. There must be some tricks behind it all to at least get one or two things correct. How does it work?

The so-called Forer Effect is at play here. Basically, the fortunes are so generally applicable that the customer will likely see them as fitting at some point. Humans have a tendency to seek patterns, and if they already “expect” events to fall in line with their fortunes, they will seek out those patterns and confirm them.
