Birthday Fun: Looking for psychics in downtown Chicago/River North.

So, do you have any recommendations? I'm planning my own birthday party (long story) and after dinner, I want to see a psychic and get a Tarot reading or a palm reading. There are dozens of psychics in the area, but I want to go to one that has a storefront in downtown Chicago or River North (Streeterville/Michigan Avenue are also acceptable) and that will accept my group of 8 all at once. I understand that it's impossible to do 8 readings at once, but I do want us all in the room while we're having our own individual readings done (e.g., I want everyone to hear what my reading is).

To be explicit in my criteria: a serious psychic, that takes groups, that does Tarot and palm readings, that is open on a Saturday night after 7:00 p.m., and that is located in the touristy bits of Chicago.

I think you'd be better off with a "psychic entertainer," and since I'm not a Chicago resident (although my grandparents came from there...), I plugged the terms "chicago" and "mentalist" into google. You should take a look at the results, but it looks like Scott Xavier would be a safe bet--apparently, he's a consultant to David Blaine.

Otherwise, I guess the best answer would be to do some legwork and talk to a few storefront psychics beforehand, and explain your situation.

Shouldn't any decent psychic be able to find you?

Best answer: I think it would be better to ask at one of the local new age stores for a recommendation than popping into a storefront.
