speaking-fortune-teller.jpg This deep-voiced animatronic fortune teller can automatically detect your presence and then consult with the skull between his hands to give you your fortune.

You can also interact with others when you speak through the fortune tellers mouth using a wireless microphone. Great for a Halloween party for children or adults (especially if you don’t tell your friends about it first, it will give them quite a surprise.)

You can buy the Animated Speaking Fortune Teller at Hammacher Schlemmer.

“The fortune tellers head is concealed in its display box behind a curtain that parts aside when motion or sound is detected in front of the tellers box. The fortune tellers wrinkled head, toothless mouth, and recessed feral eyes move in unison while he speaks, accompanied by carnival organ music. He begins with a greeting, then makes a series of movements and vocalizations while he converses with the skull, which flashes its LED eyes and moves its jaw in response. When the fortune teller is set to manual mode, a wireless microphone allows you to channel your voice through him while you remain hidden; his eyes and mouth will move as you speak. It operates either with six AA batteries (required) or with the included AC adapter. Microphone requires one 9-volt battery. 30″ H x 22″ W x 15″ D. (12 lbs.)”
