There are definite links between much of what I have been told, though each reading also gave its own piece of interesting insight. Clearly there is something in this. I have spoken to many cynics who have dismissed my experiments, or what I have been told.
Despite being told by the first palm reader that to record a reading brought bad luck, I was fortunate enough to record a couple of my subsequent readings, using a hidden microphone. This added excitement to proceedings, though also a little guilt. It did though mean I have been able to listen again and go back over the few minutes we shared, anyone who has had a reading without taking notes will know that it can sometimes be difficult to take it all in and even in my post-reading video diary, I admit there will have been some things I was unable to recall.
But I have certainly overcome the fears that I initially had regarding meeting a psychic. Many people are too nervous to be ‘read’, whilst others I think read too much into what they might be told. My outside research has taught me that whatever we get told is only a guide, it is still up to us to make the decisions.
But too much got said across the seven readings that suggested consistencies and I can not get away from that. I know that seafront fortune tellers might not be the most trustworthy of clairvoyants, I certainly got fleeced a couple of times but at the same time, I believe that adds to the experience, just as the photographs of C List celebrities having their palms read do, the porcelain hands, the expensive lucky charms, the wishing on a crystal ball… Yet still, I listened, and I believed.
I still believe.
You see, the visits were on the whole intimate experiences, and were very rewarding. Even though this was an expensive project, in terms of money and emotions, I am really glad I have done it.

My life has already changed since the first reading, and I believe will continue to even more.
As always, I welcome any comments or questions you might have, or any stories you might be able to share with me about visits to fortune tellers: theartist@jonathangreenbank.com
