palm readers

Fortune-telling hand examiners

Palm readers are people who claim to discern character traits or predict the future by examining the lines and features of someone's hand.

The practice, also called palmistry or chiromancy, treats the palm as a map of personality and fate.

Palm readers work at carnivals, psychic shops, and private consultations: The palm reader told her she'd have a long life.
