3. The fortune teller will then pick one slip of paper from each cauldron to reveal a fascinating fortune! For example: "In the year 2015 at the post office you will eat mango salsa with Justin Bieber!"
4. The fortune teller can now sit down, and the child who received the fortune becomes the new fortune teller!
5. Everyone gets a chance to tell and receive a fortune!
