How can you tell if a fortune teller is real or fake?

I would like to have my cards read. However what I don't want is someone who's fake and asks me questions to throw it all back at me to make it sound as if they are telling me something. I would like to see someone genuine and I would like to know what I should be asking to check this out.

To be honest, I wouldn't waste money on having your fortune told. Live each day as it comes. Imagine if the fortune teller were to tell you bad news ... you'd spend the rest of your life worrying.
Yes, exactly what the first answerer stated. And also, alot of fortune tellers(more than 90% of them) are just in it for the money and the attention, they really dont know how to tell fortunes, they cant really tell your future, you might as well just go to a chinese restaraunt and crack open a fortune cookie, you will get the same exact reliability that a fortune teller will give you, fortune tellers have no physchic gift, you are the only one that can truly form your future and you're the only one that can decide and tell your future no one else can.
Card reading is fake. Please read below - the actual person who is conversant with Bhrgu-samhita can tell you your past present and future. Adi 13.90 The Advent of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu The divisions of the sad-varga area are technically called ksetra, hora, drekkana, navamsa, dvadasamsa and trimsamsa. According to Jyotir-vedic astrology, when it is calculated who rules the constellation of six areas, the auspicious moment is calculated. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, who was previously also a great astrologer, says that in the book named Brhaj-jataka and other books there are directions for knowing the movements of the stars and planets. One who knows the process of drawing a straight line and thus understands the area of asta-varga can explain the auspicious constellations. This science is known especially by persons who are called hora-sastra-vit, or those who know the scripture of the name Hora. On the strength of astrological calculations from the Hora scripture, Nilambara Cakravarti, the grandfather of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, ascertained the auspicious moment in which the Lord would appear. SB 10.8.5 T Lord Krsna Shows the Universal Form Within His Mouth jyotisam ayanam saksad yat taj jnanam atindriyam pranitam bhavata yena puman veda paravaram SYNONYMS jyotisam--knowledge of astrology (along with other aspects of culture in human society, and specifically in civilized society, there must be knowledge of astrology); ayanam--the movements of the stars and planets in relationship to human society; saksat--directly; yat tat jnanam--such knowledge; ati-indriyam--which an ordinary person cannot understand because it is beyond his vision; pranitam bhavata--you have prepared a perfect book of knowledge; yena--by which; puman--any person; veda--can understand; para-avaram--the cause and effect of destiny. TRANSLATION O great saintly person, you have compiled the astrological knowledge by which one can understand past and present unseen things. By the strength of this knowledge, any human being can understand what he has done in his past life and how it affects his present life. This is known to you. PURPORT The word "destiny" is now defined. Unintelligent persons who do not understand the meaning of life are just like animals. Animals do not know the past, present and future of life, nor are they able to understand it. But a human being can understand this, if he is sober. Therefore, as stated in Bhagavad-gita (2.13), dhiras tatra na muhyati: a sober person is not bewildered. The simple truth is that although life is eternal, in this material world one changes from one body to another. Foolish people, especially in this age, do not understand this simple truth. Krsna says: dehino 'smin yatha dehe kaumaram yauvanam jara tatha dehantara-praptir dhiras tatra na muhyati "As the embodied soul continually passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. The self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change." (Bg. 2.13) Krsna, the greatest authority, says that the body will change. And as soon as the body changes, one's whole program of work changes also. Today I am a human being or a great personality, but with a little deviation from nature's law, I shall have to accept a different type of body. Today I am a human being, but tomorrow I may become a dog, and then whatever activities I have performed in this life will be a failure. This simple truth is now rarely understood, but one who is a dhira can understand this. Those in this material world for material enjoyment should know that because their present position will cease to exist, they must be careful in how they act. This is also stated by Rsabhadeva. Na sadhu manye yata atmano 'yam asann api klesada asa dehah (Bhag. 5.5.4). Although this body is temporary, as long as we have to live in this body we must suffer. Whether one has a short life or a long life, one must suffer the threefold miseries of material life. Therefore any gentleman, dhira, must be interested in jyotisa, astrology. Nanda Maharaja was trying to take advantage of the opportunity afforded by Gargamuni's presence, for Gargamuni was a great authority in this knowledge of astrology, by which one can see the unseen events of past, present and future. It is the duty of a father to understand the astrological position of his children and do what is needed for their happiness. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity afforded by the presence of Gargamuni, Nanda Maharaja suggested that Gargamuni prepare a horoscope for Nanda's two sons, Krsna and Balarama. Adi 17.104 The Pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu in His Youth Through astrology one can know past, present and future. Modern Western astrologers have no knowledge of the past or future, nor can they perfectly say anything about the present. Herein we find, however, that after hearing Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's order, the astrologer immediately began his calculations. This was not a facade; he actually knew how to ascertain one's past life through astrology. A still-existing treatise called the Bhrgu-samhita describes a system by which anyone can immediately get information about what he was in the past and what he is going to be in the future.
You shouldn't be asked any questions except your name. (That only because it's good manners to know who your speaking to).
easy, theres no such thing so all of them are fake, or you can have them tell you your name without you telling them, if they can predict your future, someone is bound to say your name in one of those visions, amiright or wat
The best method would likely be to ask them for a sample bit of info and see if it's something that says "scam!", such as a Barnum Statement. The statements "I see that you're usually a calm person, but you sometimes get angry." and "I can tell that one of your relatives suffered from heart problems", for example, may seem accurate... until you realize that they apply to a good 95% of the population!
Just send me an email..your name and what yuou want answered....
Don't bother. If they ask for money, they are most probably fake. I suggest getting a Tarot reading book and some Tarot cards, studying into it, and doing it on your own. It'll be cheaper and more personal because you did it on your own. Plus you can always go back and do it again. Also scrying and palm reading is great and easy to do at home as well! Maybe you can even get a pendulum and have a chat with your spirit guide to find your destiny. That's what I do.
ok listen to me most fortune tellers are fake because im a real psychic and we don't really want to tell people were different we just kinda wanna live life normally but you can tell is if shes doing a cold reading she is going by 1 how you look 2 how you talk (like if you sound educated or have a southern accent) 3 she will try to trick info out of you and ask un needed questions 4 they will go by your color of your skin/ backround well good luck
Well, non of them is going to give you a true answer. Fortune, fate and destiny can't be said by any human being. These things are hidden we don't know what is going to happen tomorrow, or even after an hour. Yes u may know that u have a party after an hour but u don't know what is going 2 happen in there, do u??! When the base is strong, the building is strong. When the beginning is right, the end is totally right. So, why can't we start from today a right shot so that the goal in the future is in its place!? You can organise your life the way you want it to be and no need for fortune teller nor monks. My greetings..........
