Which is the Kaucim fortune telling method used here?
This method of fortune telling involves shaking a box full of bamboo sticks numbered 1 to 78 in such a manner that just one number would mysteriously jump out of the box. This number would then be your fortune and an interpreter would read it to you from his book. Here the computer reads it for you.
Here your fortune readins begins with "Your luck for today". If the number is shaken out after sundown, the fortune refers to the following day. You will also receive "Your fortune" and "Important events" that will occur. Before you shake the box, you must think of a "Wish", and at the end of your fortune you will find out if the wish will come true or not.
