I had the distinct pleasure to read Palms and Tarot Cards at Vera Wang’s Lovestruck Fragrance Launch Event at The James Hotel in New York. It was a beautiful night at the rooftop lounge, the media was all a buzz and I designed my readings to be in line with the theme of the fragrance: love and passion.

There were several highlights of the night for me.  The first was when Vera Wang came over and sat with me for a reading. She is a wonderfully sweet and charming person and I enjoyed my time with her. And the fact that she wanted me to perform my readings at a personal event for her that weekend, let me know that she enjoyed her time with me as well.

A little later in the night, I had the pleasure of meeting and reading for Leighton Meester, the star of the fragrance campaign and the of the popular TV show, “Gossip Girl”. Not only did I get to read her palm, which was a wonderful experience, but was also part of the media’s big photo shoot of her getting a psychic reading for that night.

The next day the internet was all a buzz about the launch of Lovestruck, the fabulous party that took place in NYC and Vera Wang and Leighton Meester getting their psychic readings with me. I was even captured in the September 19th issue of Star Magazine reading Leigton Meester’s Palm.

It was a very busy night and a very positive experience as well. I look forward to seeing Vera Wang again.

The following day we provided strolling/mingling psychic entertainment for a VIP cocktail party at Epcot Disney

After a successful event in 2009, the event planners at News America Marketing invited me back for a second year. Since I performed my Palm Reading/Numerology Readings for them the first time, I decided to do something totally different for them this year: my new Doodle-ology Readings.  I set up a fun table with all my supplies: markers, crayons, pens, pencils, paper and candles. Staff members signed their name and drew me a doodle and from that information I was able to give them an amazing, multi-dimensional personality profile.

I gave Doodle-ology Readings to individual staff members, while inviting small groups of staff members to come in together. Those that work closely with one another really enjoyed the group reading experience because the similarities and differences in their personalities came to life on the page. It was the kind of thing where they both look at each other and go, “Oh my, you are that way, you so do that. That is so funny!”

What I love about the Doodleology Readings is you don’t have to be an artist to have a great, amazing, insightful and enjoyable reading. By the time I was finished with each staff member’s Reading, they loved their drawing and said they would keep it at their desk to remember me by. Many even said they can’t wait to see what I bring for them to do next year!

Strolling Palm Readings for Bar Mitzvah guests

We had the pleasure of performing for Jonah Schacker’s Bar Mitzvah on December 4, 2010 in Long Island, NY. I kicked off the event with my Strolling Palm Readings which drew a constant crowd of interested guests. Word spread quickly that my readings were fun and amazing. I had the pleasure to read siblings together, couples, cousins and friends.

After dinner, Larry and I kept the celebration going with our 45 minute Mentalism & ESP Show. We brought up Jonah and a few of his friends for a fun demonstration of lie detection. No matter how hard they tried to lie to me,  they just couldn’t get away with it. There were lots of laughs. The guests couldn’t have participated any more during our blindfold act. They were taking out all kinds of objects and photos that they had on them. The buzz and excitement from the guests was incredible.

What a terrific family to perform for! The family was so amazed by the show that we stayed and talked to just about each and every one of them before they left. We provided a whole night of entertainment for the Schacker Family resulting in a very successful and memorable event. We were so glad to be a part of it.

We received this lovely feedback from Jonah’s Mom, Renee Schacker:

“You were fantastic and absolutely mind blowing. Considering the potential disaster of not having a venue, we pulled it off without a glitch. Thanks for all your wonderful input and fun!!!!  Everyone’s talking!!!!”

They set me up in a small office, allowing me to provide a very calming place, complete with all with my psychic trinkets and a carefully prepared soundtrack of soothing music to play in the background while giving readings. One by one each nurse was treated to a 15 minute insightful Palm and Tarot Reading. I had the pleasure of spending time with some really wonderful people and was so glad to show them such appreciation because they deserve it.

My readings were such a hit that I have been invited back for National Nursing Assistants Week in June.

I just finished a weekend of performing myPalm/Numerology readings at several bridal showers this weekend. On the way home from the last event, I couldn’t help but to think what a wonderful match these two things are. With the wedding just around the corner, the bride’s and even guests’ thoughts are centered on what the future holds.

I’ve found that my combination of palm and numerology readings work very well at these events. My palm readings focus on guests’ natural strengths and talents, making each reading motivating, uplifting and entertaining and before their time ends with me, they each receive a customized numerology forecast to take home with them. This is something that I have found reminds guests of this special event long after it is over, and keeps that good will you just spent all that money creating.

My entertaining and unique psychic readings have been utilized successfully in a couple of different ways:

Strolling Psychic Entertainment

As a form of strolling/mingling entertainment, reading the palms of groups of guests at a time, making guests feel welcome and getting the party started while they are awaiting the bride’s arrival. Many times the guest list contains many people that don’t know each other very well. This kind ofmingling, ice-breaking entertainment brings guests together through a common experience.

Intimate Psychic Readings

As an intimate seated event in which guests visit me in pairs, in small groups or for a one-on-one reading. This works very well because it’s entertainment that’s available for all guests to experience at their leisure while at the same time, not interfering or taking away from the attention of the bride. It’s a pampering experience that makes each guest feel special.

Don’t hesitate to contact me about which entertainment option would work best for your event. Contact me by phone at (516) 690-MIND (6463) and of course I am always available anytime by email at raven (at) larryandraven.com.

When the last Harry Potter book, “The Deathly Hallows” was released on July 21, 2007, I was booked to perform my unique Group Palm Readings at the Barnes & Noble, Union Square, NYC book release party. I thought it would be fun to go the extra mile and customize the readings, since I would be entertaining hardcore fans.

Even though the Harry Potter book craze has come to an official end, the newest Harry Potter movie, The Half-Blood Prince, is due to be released nation wide on July 15, 2009. I’m excited to offer my Harry Potter themed Palm Readings again for Harry Potter themed events.

My Harry Potter Palm Readings are the same fun, enlightening and amazing readings that you’re used to, but I have incorporated the characters from the movies and books to bring something special and magical to each palm reading experience for adults and children alike.
