How do fortune tellers tell fortunes somewhat accurately?

456 views

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?

There are a few tricks that fortune tellers and psychics use.

1. if you’re vague enough in your prediction, then it can apply to anything. So don’t say “you’re going to get in a car crash tomorrow”. Say “I see troubles in your near future”, so if literally anything goes wrong in a undefined period of time, the prediction came true.
2. you can use what you know about a person to make more specific guesses. If they have young kids, you can maybe say that one do the kids will break something, because that’s bound to happen.
3. if you throw out a lot of different predictions, people have a tendency to remember the ones that came true more than the ones that didn’t. So if you’re friends had an eerily specific prediction came true, they could just be forgetting about all the other predictions the psychic made that didn’t come true.
