Yes, fortune telling works

Fortune-telling would not have persisted throughout human history if it wasn't real and didn't work. As humans, we have complex brains that are capable of anything; even connection with the spirit realm, or the ability to see the future. There are those who have the gift while others don't; it is just like any natural gift or talent, like art or sports. Fortune-telling works because there are signs everywhere that can be read, just like in the sciences where facts can be read from the world around us.
