Cool Party Host

Bringing in a psychic or fortune teller to a party to provide light-hearted fun is a highly popular form of entertainment.

In this environment, readers generally use a tool such as Tarot cards or palm reading to give short, pithy readings for the enjoyment of party guests.

Generally, the reader is sequestered in a corner or separate room and guests sit down individually for readings that last approximately five to ten minutes.

Guests, being people with real lives, often bring their real life problems to the reader. And, even in the brief five-to-ten minute window of a typical party reading, the guests often receive valuable information that gives them a real insight into the issue at hand.

It is common for clients to raise concerns that the party readings are not too heavy – and a good party reader will give valuable information without crossing that line so that guests have a great time.

But, occasionally, a client wants to go very deep.

If that client is you, it is best to set up a one-to-one private session.

Certain types of readers and certain types of readings do not work well in a fast-paced party environment.

One example is when you wish to make contact with a dead loved-one. That is done through a medium. Mediums work by providing a clear channel between the living and the spirit world.

It takes a great deal of emotional energy for the medium to do this type of work. It is even harder on the medium to do a rapid series of readings in succession which is exactly what is required in a party setting and few mediums would be able to handle the demand physically.

Another problem in using mediumship for party readings is that most party attendees carry an expectation that a medium can just summon up ‘Uncle Joe’ at will. And now that they heard from ‘Uncle Joe’ they would like to hear from ‘Grandma Millie.’

No medium can compel any spirit to appear and, just as in our physical world, Uncle Joe and Grandma Millie may not be available or willing.

It is a no-win situation for the medium and a recipe for frustration to guests and the host.

I know and hire many gifted psychics and mediums through Faces & Fortunes, my party entertainment business. Those who choose to offer party work leave their mediumship at home. Yet they still offer excellent readings that makes them hugely popular with clients and guests. That is because they have learned through experience not to cross the line between entertainment and deep spiritual work.
