What sort of location would You
advise?"
"A large city is the very best for

In order to be success must one
have special gifts of a spiritual ma

clients are not allowed to bring up
things which cannot be answered sat

For instance, the clairvoyant promises
to tell the clients name, age what he

which he may he challenged to tell
and to answer three questions. 1t Is
hard to remember more than that
number. Give these things as a free
test, if possible, and it will draw the
people in crowds. 1t is a great catch"
But how can the clairvoyant do

Well" said the woman, I'm tell
