After all, you don’t have to believe it, and the best thing about it is that it doesn’t require a lot of time or (21) expensive equipment.

Cynics claim that palmists use other clues to gain their "amazing" insights. In other words, the more (22)experienced and observant the reader is, the better she becomes at noticing things which help her to "predict" the future. While the more cynical the "victim" is, the less likely they are to believe a word of it!
