Ok all when i first signed on monthes ago I said that i had a town fair where I would be reading. It ended last night. this may be long but there is a question. LOL
First I am in a VERY small town. I was aware that people would be a little unsure. I was not expecting what happened. First, all day all other boothes were full. except mine.. mine had a wide 10 foot empty hole around it where people wouldn't even walk BY. I had other things non tarot related as well, but as soon as people saw the tarot their focus changed they Usually reacted one of several ways
1_ smile freezes in place as they speed up to get away
2- looked shocked, turn and walk other direction
3- speed walk by while looking down grumbling to themselves
4- verynice, understanding and talkitive, loved to learn about it ( very few but still worth it)
5- pull curious children away saying "you are not going in there!"
I stayed for 12 hours and only reading, and sold 1 other trinket hubby and i were deciding to pack it in.. we had given it a shot it seems the town wasn't ready then something happened.. it started to get dark and all of a sudden EVERYONE hit at once, i don't know if it was the darkness or the drinking but people were finally interested and willing. We ended up staying another 3 1/2 hours during which time i did alot of readings. In that three hours we were able to recoup all that we had paid out.
now my questions are:
1) what were your experiences doing readings at fairs and similar places
2) were people more adventurous at night?
Thank you in advance for sharing with me
