The Law Explained

You cannot charge money to read palms, gaze into crystal balls, or contact the spirit world within city limits. Many local municipalities enacted these anti-occult laws in the early 1900s to crack down on roaming swindlers and protect gullible citizens from being scammed out of their savings. While mostly unenforced today due to free speech protections, the bans remain on the books.
