"Fortune telling shall be performed as part of a show or exhibition solely for the purpose of entertainment or amusement. The NYS Penal Law, Section 165.35 charges fortune telling as a class B misdemeanor when, for a fee or compensation which is directly or indirectly solicited or received, a person claims or pretends to tell fortunes, or holds himself out as being able, by claimed or pretended use of occult powers, to answer questions or give advice on personal matters or to exercise, influence or affect evil spirits or curses."
Ok, so I get the bit about not being able to claim to remove curses etc. (#1 scam in the biz), but what about the rest of it? What exactly is permitted??? (Unless of course one's own disclaimer of "For Entertainment Purposes Only" basically covers the ground there...)
