Pro Tips for Reading Tarot at Events, Fairs & Markets

[@glittermommytarot]

5 years late, but this is the only video I've found about reading tarot at fairs and events. Thank you!

[@wendynordon6796]

I Have two sand timers one is 3O mins and the other 15 mins they are colourful and not a distraction but help to keep any eye on the time when the fifteen mins is at the end I know to start to do the summary so that wraps up around 20 mins. Great video very useful tips

[@Ethony]

That's a great idea that way the timer doesn't disturb anyone and it's not distracting for you or the client!

[@neliaferreira9983]

And the sand timer looks beautiful too! Classy, silent and timeless! Now I have to get that as well!!

[@AlisonSpokes]

Yes! Yes! Everything you said. It's also a great idea to bring a time sheet where people can sign up for readings. At my first fair as a reader, I wasn't prepared and people were annoyed they couldn't secure a spot. Luckily, my quick-thinking assistant found some paper and started taking names. I always bring a time sheet now... even if the fair isn't busy, it's still helpful for those moments or mini-rushes when 3 or 4 people do show up at once.

[@Ethony]

Timesheets are a fantastic idea, many of the people I worked with at fairs did this. I totally forgot to add it :)

[@youaremagick5935]

So excited! Just got booked for my first event 😍

[@aprilmatilda7743]

How did it go?

[@LouValcourt]

Great tips! I take crystals, and sprays to events too, and lots of water to stay hydrated. I find that after I need to ground after all the high ones and usually do so by eating something starchy or comfort food and listening to some hard rock / brings me back to earth.

[@Ethony]

I don't know if it is just me but I LOVE me some carbs after all day readings and rituals.

[@kris10g737]

Just booked my first ever wellness event and this is so helpful! Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@kezzlar1]

What great advice. I have just booked in to a huge market for next year and I really want to make an impact, thanks for the awesome advice

[@Ethony]

I am very glad you found the video helpful :) Best of luck with the market :)

[@KittensWeightsandTarot]

I could see myself nodding my head to everything that you were saying---so on point!🙌🏼 This is definitely important info for all of us looking to read at large events❤️

[@RobertAlvarezThePsychicWitch]

@ethony, I learned about you just yesterday via "tarotworks (also known as Lost Star Tarot)" on Instagram. I still need to check out your Tarot Summer School. This was a great video. I fully agree with everything you said in it, and although you first blogged about this in 2010, this is information that does not get old. I give Readings at public venues, from time to time, and I cannot over-recommend arriving early, especially to get one's choice of tables! This is a wonderful video, and I look forward to watching it, from time to time, just to make sure I have all my bases covered.

[@Ethony]

Thank you for stopping by, yes if you can score a good table it helps for sure :) some are assigned but it is a good point to make sure people ask their organisers if they can pick their own table or not. Worth getting to a venue early for that.

[@RobertAlvarezThePsychicWitch]

My pleasure, @Ethony, and thank you for your great videos. I have a feeling I shall watch your videos as I do @Two Spirit's, all of them and starting with the very first one. Actually, in the last few years, there has only been one public venue where a table was assigned to me; but all the others, I had the option of choosing the one I wanted.

[@thepsychicbaddie]

Thank you for this video!!!

[@NorsePaganTarotWitch]

Great tips for reading at events, fairs and markets. I have actually been considering participating in these events. I will definitely apply these tips for when I do take part in events, fairs and markets. Passing out from dehydration is never fun and I always try to make sure I have a water bottle on me to ensure I do stay hydrated.

[@Ethony]

I loved my times and experiences at Fairs. I am sure you would rock it.

[@NorsePaganTarotWitch]

It sounds like a blast!

[@rinakenney6249]

Great tips thanks

[@Smiles4Kids]

Thank you very much for this video...i do readings on flea markets once a month... you are very pretty... greetings from Chicago.

[@dustyblackbird697]

hello johnny, how does that work for you ? I have thought about doing that. but I wasn't sure how well it would work out. I do light worker orcale readings. plus im a medium. so I do both readings. but how does that work for you ? is it a great outcome. or what do you suggest ?

[@fredbissnette3104]

Great tips!!!!

[@HiddenSpringsTarot]

I love watching these :) I laughed so hard at your gemini head nod :) so true! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend!

[@smyoakum2]

Such a great video! Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Ethony]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rw872]

Really helpful video, thanks!

[@gloriakirkpatrick6163]

Thank you for all this great info. So generous of you to share. Have an amazing year in 2019.

[@Ethony]

I hope you have a wonderful 2019 as well

[@wendynordon6796]

Ethony could you do a short video if what’s in my tarot bag theme to show the things you do take to an event

[@Ethony]

I will add that to my list of videos to film for you soon! Keep an eye out! I do have a video where I went through all of my travel essentials, so until then you can see if what I carry around with me is helpful :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6O7pIaMf7Gqg80

[@paulinelife]

Great video and advice, thanks Ethony

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I got a great tip from "eat pray love" for responding to unsolicited advice. After the 10,000 th person told her she needed a man and there was something wrong with a woman traveling alone, she very graciously replied, "I know a lot of petiole who would agree with you," (or who feel the same way, etc. I thought it was brilliant.

[@clarelantern]

I don't meant to but when I say something I have one of those days do get into trouble. I'm Gemini too. When I say something I do get honest/blunt/frank about the situation and that does get me into trouble.

[@janeausten8244]

Yay! Thank you💗

[@elainealvarez6551]

I love your videos :) thank you for sharing.

[@RymVri108]

These are great tips, thank you!!!

[@johngaunt6521]

Very informative, thank you x

[@desertdiva9771]

Good advice!👍

[@cancermoonwellness]

I'm so glad I came across this video as I'm thinking of doing my first festival in about 3 weeks. How many cards do you suggest for a 15-minute reading? I was initially thinking 3.

[@Ethony]

Oh yeah, 3 cards is great for 15 min!

[@psychicdaisyrose]

Anyone in the Florida area, I am looking for new Central Florida fairs

[@KeatShadows]

How long is each reading at a Fair? How do you set the price for a reading?

[@hmbee1110]

These are great tips. Watching this reminded me of the events I have done in the past, and encouraged me to start doing them again. I have a question about the private events. That is something I'm interested in offering. Do you have any recommendations for the details of drawing up the agreement, or perhaps references I can refer to for doing that? I have not done that before so details to include or tips would be helpful.

[@Ethony]

Artist agreements can be a good place to start. I have a background in contracts with my HR work so I just used the samples as a place to start - www.artpact.com/Contracts

[@hmbee1110]

Ethony Thank you!

[@Dianne327]

12:01 😂👌💖

[@dustyblackbird697]

would this info . also include setting up a friendly(no festive time ) table randomly ? like at a park or a picnic ? how much would one charge ?

[@orioleaszme3415]

There might be local government by-laws. Ring your local council or whatever they are called where you live. Some places can issue busking permits :)
