my pleasure to introduce to you

the world's master of mental

mysticism... chandra the great!

[Gong crashes]

I shall now pass among you,

giving each

and every one of you

a piece of paper on which

to write your questions.

Don't let your neighbor

see what you write.

Mohammad, have you faithfully

performed your mission?

Are all the questions

in the basket?

Yes, great master.

Burn them.

Consign them

to the flames.

"I have lost my keys.

"Please tell me

where I can find them.

Signed,

George Thomas."

George Thomas

has lost his keys.

I see them...

Yes, I see them at home.

They are in the door

of your liquor cabinet.

Who won the fourth race

at belmont, Sam?

Blue boy.

Why don't I drop

another 2 bucks.

Who'd you bet on?

Rollaway.

That coyote couldn't beat

a fat woman going up a hill.

He showed plenty of speed

at latonia.

Yeah? Racing a lot

of cockroaches?

Besides, he wasn't in

the second race.

You're trying to tell me

he didn't win the second race

at latonia last Saturday?

I'm telling you he wasn't in

the second race.

He was in the fourth race.

Conditions in the spirit world

seem disturbed.

Get your dough out.

A dollar will get you 10.

A dollar?

No, I-i-i ain't gonna

bet you.

I'm a sporting man.

Ah,

everything is clear again.

"Am I going to marry

and settle down here,

"or will I go to Chicago

and look for a job?

Signed, Sylvia r."

I see a little lady who is

perplexed as to her future...

Whether to stay in this city

and enjoy the soft protection

of matrimony

or to fare forth and hew out

a commercial career

for herself in... Chicago.

The solution to your problem

depends entirely

upon yourself.

But I can state...

That a very great change

is coming into your life

very soon,

my dear Sylvia r.

Did you

ask that question?

Yes, I did.

[Scoffs]

He's daffy.

You don't really believe

all that hooey, do you?

Why, I certainly do.

I won 5 bucks

on rollaway

in the second race at latonia,

I'm telling you.

The only bet I win in a month

am I gonna forget it?

I'm telling you, that beetle

wasn't in the second race.

Pete slovak,

you are wondering

whether you are

going to have any children.

I don't see you

having any children at all.

But I see...

Your wife having three.

Aw, that's enough

of those yaps, chan.

This concludes my public

demonstration for today,

but I can be found

between the hours

of 10:
00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M.

Every day, with the exception

of the sabbath,

at your charming

little hostelry,

the commercial house, 2nd

and market streets, suite "a."

Those with

pressing personal problems

may come to me there

for private readings.
