You read people well and you always call the twist. A fortune teller costume fits because it lets you do that all night: people will line up to have their palms read.
It is colourful, comfortable and made from scarves and jewellery, so it is easy to put together from what is already in your closet.
Why it’s you
- You call the twist early
- People tell you things
- Jewel tones and gold
- Cosy, candlelit vibes
How to make it
- +A long flowing skirt or dress, or wide trousers
- +Layer scarves over your head, shoulders and waist
- +Lots of gold jewellery: bangles, rings, long necklaces
- +Smoky eye make-up with a little shimmer
- +Carry tarot cards or a glass “crystal ball” (a round lamp or fishbowl works)
Tips
- !Learn three palm-reading lines (life, heart, head) and you have a party trick
- !Keep fortunes funny and kind; nobody wants a bad omen at a party
Group or couple version
A fortune teller and a “client” who keeps getting worse news, or a travelling carnival with a ringmaster and a strongman.
For fun. Costume ideas only; check your school’s, office’s or venue’s rules about masks, make-up and props before you go.
