I had the great pleasure of reading nine pairs of hands at Bizarre But True in Hastings, where I was booked for an event earlier in the month.
A couple came in with their adult children and all their partners for a birthday drink and to check out the strange exhibits at the museum, and when Alex the proprietor offered them a palm reading I said I’d tell them who was the bossiest and the most perverted. They were utterly sceptical, but decided to give it a go after a few drinks.
The first hand I read was mum’s, and she had an extremely long index finger - a sure sign of a person who won’t hesitate to tell people what to do. They all laughed, recognising her nature, and left me a cracking review that I recorded.
I was joking about the most perverted, but just as I was about to leave they asked me about it. I’m circumspect when I read, and always ask clients if they are sure they want their secrets shared if they bring along an audience, but they insisted and they had a lovely and easy camaraderie about them.
One chap had a composite print (a double loop) on each index finger, meaning that he wants to harmonise his personality with whatever situation he finds himself in. He also had a loop on his right ring finger but a peacock's eye (or pocket loop) on the left, meaning a strong enigmatic quirk in their creative output but only in more intimate realms; if they cook someone a meal, for example, it will have a strange ingredient like jackfruit or coconut vinegar in it, and if they grow a plant it might be a cactus. It also gives these people an experimental edge to their activities in their own safe spaces - so it was bound to be him.
I love my job, and people seem to love it too. Why not book me for your party?
