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?

On event style fortune readings, like on TV, guests are asked to fill out questionnaires about their life and what they hope to get out of the event.
They are usually presented innocuously to appear like they are just collecting demographic data.
Staffers then pore over the data and feed information to the ‘reader’ via ear pieces or teleprompter data. Sometimes they even collect public data about the person in question from census records using data they collected.
Finally, for taped events the editors do their thing to make all the misses disappear and amplify the hits.
