The Systematic Seer by Ken de Courcy

A simplified system of fortune telling.

One of the most effective ways of entertaining informally is by Fortune-Telling and, as a magician, you must have been asked many times if you can "tell fortunes". To do this properly requires much study and memory work, time you can probably not afford. So here is a new, simplified system that can easily be applied to Palmistry, the Tarot, Sand Reading, and almost every other form of divination. Apart from anything else, it's a great way to make friends.

The problem has always been to obtain sufficient 'cues' with which to give a 'reading'. Whilst you can learn a "Cold Reading" off by heart, handling it for different people has always been a problem.

The method outlined here is, as far as I know, completely new. All you need to give a short and interesting reading is the subject's name and then, automatically, you have a complete set of cues from which to weave a convincing story.

1st edition 1976, PDF 4 pages.

I live in California, where the recreational use of marijuana is legal. I smoke a lot of pot - vast, Cheech & Chong-level amounts of pot. With that said, my memory isn't what it used to be. I can barely remember the last sentence I wrote. Thank goodness for Ken de Courcy.

Genius often lies in the simplicity of great art. The secret method behind Ken de Courcy's "The Systematic Seer" is simple, almost to the point of being insulting. It's as easy as remembering a phone number, and that's no hyperbole.

It's not a magic trick but a complete method of stress-free divination for those new to the art or easily tongue-tied while attempting to spout some silver-tongued psychic rhetoric.

When I first learned the secret method, I felt cheated out of my seven dollars. But it was only jealousy. I was mad that I hadn't thought of it myself.

The Systematic Seer was released in 1976. Since then, other writers and performers (like The Deceptionary's Doug Dyment) have taken de Courcy's idea and expanded on it. But the original suits me fine.

After a few hours of memorization, I put it into practice.

Sometimes, I read palms on my lunch break at work. Making up bullshit off the top of your head every day can be exhausting. Using the Systematic Seer method, I could give instant readings to people after learning only their first names.

Like I said, once you learn the secret, you'll hate yourself for buying it. But the results are fantastic if you put the information into practice (like I did).

Whether you're a mentalist, magician, or fortune teller, you'll want to add this to your repertoire. The only prop you need to carry around is your memory.

Buy it. Use it. This works.
