The girl pirate was getting the reading, and she seemed a little unimpressed until her final card was the Star. “This is a really positive card,” I told her. “It’s usually a sign of —” “Ohmygod — I knew it! I’m so going to be in that movie! And then I’m outta here! I am definitely moving to LA now.” The boy pirate looked a little crushed, but she didn’t seem to notice. I decided not to confuse her with the actual meaning of the card, and let her go away happy. (At least one of them was.) This was my first lesson in the customers seeing what they wanted to in the cards, and me not trying to stop them. The rest of the first night went by in a blur of costumes. It was hard to try to read people’s faces when so many of them were wearing full-face makeup or masks, but I got through it. I had a line of people waiting right away. Luckily, I also started getting some help. Nick came to check on me and found more people than I guess he’d expected, and then he stayed.
