​Introduction to Palmistry 
with Bruce Hoskins

Palmistry (or palm reading) is the practice of interpreting a person’s character and predicting their future by examining the lines and other features of the hand.  Palm reading is not limited to the palm as it includes aspects of both of your entire hands. In this interactive workshop, we’ll cover the four types of hands (and which one you are), the significance of the primary lines and minor lines on the hand, and the various geometrical shapes that the various lines can form on the hand.  This workshop will also include discussions on the various mounts of the hand and their meanings.

Mind Reading Demonstration
With James MacDonald

​During the mid-1920s, from the swirl of Spiritualism, there arose a new sub-branch of entertainment: Mind Reading and Mentalism.   The mind reader/mentalist presented illusions that mimicked the phenomena of the spirit medium.  Jim Macdonald, a professional magician, will present a historical recreation of an evening’s “mental entertainment” such as you might have experienced in the parlor or drawing room of an upper-class apartment in New York City during a dinner party in 1925.   Is it real?  Depends on what your definition of “real” is.  Jim promises you that it is as genuine as any such exhibition during the Roaring Twenties was, after the triumph of Temperance, Votes for Women, and the Abolition of Slavery, those fellow-travelers of the Spiritualist movement, would have been.  This presentation is for entertainment purposes only.

​Quieting the Persistent Voices
with Frank Chodl

 While Frank is often asked what it’s like to communicate with people who have died, he gets a lot of questions from people who are spirit-sensitive about how to “turn it off.” The voices of entities keep coming through whether we call on them or not. Frank addresses this problem and offers a proven method of taking back control of when and with whom we are open to interact. Frank believes that it is extremely important, before we engage in any type of paranormal or metaphysical encounters, that we understand that we do have control over what happens.
