So my my thought it'd be a good idea to go to this bullshit. I know this is completely fake, but the people here are taking me as an idiot. Some guy told me I have callouses on my fingers because of stress and lack of making goals. I'm pretty sure I have callouses because I play drums competitively and just finished a world class season of drum line. LOL

So what should I do to mess with these people?

Biggest way to mess with them is to not be there.

The fakes know the they're fakes.

The ones who actually believe it aren't going to be convinced by anything else.

I'd really like to give correct info and STILL make them get things very wrong so as to embarrass them. I think I've figured it out. Just have to answer everything with "yes, it may" so as to confirm NOTHING, but it's not a lie. LOL

Make sure when you open your palm for a hand reading that it is greasy. Then when they react, inform them you rubbed one off and forgot to wash your hands.

Wait, so you are spending time and money at this convention and you think that you are the one that will be messing with others?

Yup.

At best, it will be extremely awkward.

If you are the kind of person who enjoys being an ass, go right ahead and show up there. Even if they are frauds and idiots, nothing good will come of this.

This... except actually rub one off beforehand. Maybe don't shower that morning so your junk is extra vinegary (as Cartman would say).

I believe some of these people (a very select few) do actually know what they are talking about. But it comes from the skills of realizing patterns. Kind of like people who are good at analyzing dreams - they look for patterns and compare it to your life. Just means they are super smart at what they do.

Ask for very specific answers concerning a relative or friend that doesn't exist. "Will my best friend Joe die from anal cancer? He's suffering so badly."

they'll probably say something like they can't control what they see or something.

that said, why fuck around with people who are only in the business of separating fools from their money? it's a needed social service.

Or rather, people are gullible and easily fooled.

"I am seeing that you did something interesting today, something out of the ordinary."
Now, that could really be anything. Maybe you ate a bad batch of shrimp and spent 3 hours on the toilet. Or maybe you fapped 4 times instead of only 2. They're of course relying on you to fill in the information in a verbose fashion, rather than just saying, "Yes, something like that happened to me today," with no further elaboration.

It's just a horoscope with live delivery, and 38% more BS.
