Play A Game, Tell Your Fortune

Evil thought of the day .

BACKGROUND: The classic psychic/tarot con works by divining small bits of information through questions or educated guesses and giving vague advice/predictions and letting the sucker fill in the blanks...

THE IDEA:  You could totally do the facebook version because you have access to so much information... i.e. a seemingly simple game, concentration, but the card that they flip are tarot cards... when they make a match, the card flies into a tarot-esque pattern...

When the game is over, it 'analyzes the deal' and gives you a fortune, something like, it checks the friend you most interact with and says "Today you will have thoughts about whether 'Chris Cullop' has been completely truthful with you" or someone you have not checked in with "'Ben Davis' might have some good news for you... you should contact him in the next 72 hours"

Then somewhere in there you start asking for money orders made out to 'cash'.  Only .000001% of the people would give you money, but there are 500 million people on facebook... :0)

    Hello.  I'm a creative sort of a fellow, and I'm always coming up with ideas.  I have notebooks filled with them.  I'll be posting them here from time to time.  If you like one and wish to adopt it, feel free.
