My state requires fortune tellers to hold a license, or more accurately,The telling of fortunes, forecasting of futures, or reading the past by means of any occult, psychic power, faculty, force, clairvoyance, cartomancy, psychometry, phrenology, spirits, tea leaves, tarot cards, scrying, coins, sticks, dice, sand, coffee grounds, crystal gazing or other such reading or through mediumship, seership, prophecy, augury, astrology, palmistry, necromancy, mindreading, telepathy or other craft, art, science, talisman, charm, potion, magnetism, magnetized article or substance, or by any such similar thing or act.
To practice these arts without the license comes with a $100 fine for each instance. Normally this just means appearing before the Board of Selectmen, paying a fee and you are good to go. Of course, a new member to the Board had to justify his existence when I appeared before the board via Zoom the other day and asked that I demonstrate my proficiency, or, as I perceived it, Dance for us, Monkey Boy. I did a little Zodiac Sign revelation (via Bob Farmer method), heaped on some Cold Reading and then reached way back into my radio days for a convincer. I mean convincer in the Its A Wonderful Life meaning of the word; a sharp punch to the head. AND YOU ARE? I had not done it for several years, but it all came back to me and I realized that the radio stuff I did on WBCN in Boston could easily be applied to working on the internet. My book, And You Are?, has long been retired and I thought about reworking the material for the internet, but I am too lazy. Instead, I asked Dutchco to make the original manuscript available as an ebook for a limited time (hopefully this social distancing is only for a limited time), just in case you are hungry for some effects you can pull off through your computer. You just have to apply a little imagination to transfer the radio stuff to the internet, but I would hope you would be applying some imagination to personalize the effect anyway. If you need something to get your juices flowing for any internet performances, or just one of those collections of methods stuck in the house, check out my AND YOU ARE? On Amazon, Nook or right here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/lance-norris/an......294.html Stay Safe!

So you are a licensed mind reader! That’s pretty cool. Seems to give instant credibility, after all, you are licensed by the State.

And the state gets the revenue. Everybody's a winner!

There seems to be some real interest in this stuff, so I asked Dutchco to rerelease another book (Long Time Caller, First Time Listener) chocked full of radio mentalism you can do on the internets. You can get it at Amazon, iBook, Nook or here: http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/first......r/705326
Enjoy, and stay safe

Genuinely cool story! What were their reactions when you performed the pieces?

They seemed to enjoy it. There was a bit of a disconnect because of the Zoom distancing, but the Town Manager emailed me later and asked for reading, which I declined.
