“What is the difference between the $10 reading and the 50$ reading, besides forty bucks.”
“For ten dollars you get a five card major arcana reading, for fifty you get the full spread using both arcana’s.”
“Do I get to keep the cards?”
“No.”
“So why should I …?
“I don’t know that should do anything. I read fortunes, you came in here, I didn’t track you down. But, to save us both time and patience, the full reading explains more, or, rather, I explain more. For ten bucks you either get something cryptic or an ice breaker at a cocktail party ‘… so I spent ten bucks for this crazy old bag to tell my fortune …’ That’s what most of the skeptics want. The neurotic ‘believers’ will drop fifty bucks a week — the fortune doesn’t change they just think they’ll have some new question that I overlooked the other 51 times last year.”
“A bit cynical, but I appreciate it. I don’t know if fortunes can read or not, the question is whether you can, or, I guess whether I get ten to fifty bucks worth of entertainment out of it. Here ten bucks.”
“The placement represents you in the center, past, future, guiding force, major obstacle. Ok. Chariot. Temperance. The Hermit. The World. The lovers. Shit.”
“Shit?”
“Yeah.”
“So what does that mean?”
“The ten dollar answer? Earth is infected, you should get off planet now.”
“Bullshit. If I give you another forty bucks?”
“honey … Ok, for fifty bucks you’ll meet a tall dark stranger who will sweep you off your feet and then you’ll both die horribly unless you get off earth now.”
“Um, next week?”
“What?”
“Can I make an appointment for next week?”
“Sure, early, Monday at ten ok?”
“Yes. I mean is it?”

I love tarot readings, but I find it to be a useful conjuring trick. It all depends on the conjuror how entertaining (and insightful) s/he can make it. There's a world of possibilities in there, The Chariot, Temperance, The World, The Hermit - a great place to start a conversation about your past, present and future circumstances. More importantly, a great place to start a conversation about anyone's past, present and futures circumstances.

Man I forgot you were back. Nice to see you man. Yeah I picked out the ones that don't usually come up together. Stories and TV shows always like the Fool and the Hanged man. I have a real story about why I don't read tarot anymore, it's messy and not very credible sounding. Ok, it's really messy and sounds made up.
