“Jessica was such a wonderful addition to our corporate Halloween Party! She was interactive with our attendees, her costume was gorgeous and everyone really loved the entertainment. We would definitely love to have her Oracle services again, it was really a hit.”
— NICCOLE, MAVEN CLINIC
For those who love to bring people together..
Your guests can ask the Oracle anything.
Their answer becomes an experience...
“The Oracle is an exhilarating two-fisted punch! First, you are giggling at the period costume and hairstyle, as you pose a question for the medium. Then the interpretive dance moves take over and you’re really wondering what could possibly come next. When the physical movement transforms into a wise one-sentence answer to your query, typed out on a vintage typewriter, you suddenly reverse course and begin to suspect that something inspired is going on here, that you may be in the presence of a new Delphi."
— TIM NOEL, NEW YORK CITY
Dazzling, personalized entertainment
Less foreboding than a palm reader, more fun than a stilt walker, and more meaningful than a photo booth, Oracle Acts is both delightful and poignant- bringing you the glitter and the gold.
“Jessica was amazing! Not your typical tarot card reader sitting in a corner, for sure! She’s extremely intuitive, fun, and made my sister’s birthday party so fun! I love her unique and fun approach, and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!”

HOW IT WORKS
Guests can type any question into the typewriter.
The Oracle delivers the answer. First she performs the answer, then she gives you the written answer.
Guests keep their answers as a keepsake.
“The Oracle was the perfect addition to our company celebration. The consummate professional showed up on-time and in an amazing space-age costume (with a light up head piece, may I add) and immediately got to work entertaining the crowd. Jessica was a pleasure to work with and I’d highly recommend her for your next event if you’re looking to add an interactive, memorable component!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What kinds of questions can a guest ask?
Any kind of question! No question is off limits. The Oracle has answered every kind of question imaginable, except yours.
What are the technical requirements?
There is no music or technical set up. Ideally the Oracle has a high top cocktail table or another table to work from. From there she roams the crowd.
How do the danced answers work?
The Oracle gives a danced answer, (a danswer) for each question. These danswers are around 1 minute and allow the recipient to feel the answer first. As a former professional dancer, the danswers are a highlight! The Oracle will adapt to the space. She has performed in narrow bars and tiny NYC apartments.
Do guests have to wait in line to get a reading?
No! The Oracle goes to them so they don’t have to disengage with the party. This makes Oracle entertainment different from most hired fortune tellers and tarot readers.
How do guests know you’re there?
The Oracle will roam the party and let guests know she is there to offer them readings. She is masterful at getting guests to engage.
“We had the great pleasure of having Oracle Acts at our wedding party! What a treat! Her answers were witty, amusing and always perfectly appropriate... even when my husband asked her how long we’d be married! LOL My friends are still talking about the party and how great the Oracle was.”
— ALIX, NEW YORK CITY GALLERIST & NEWLYWED
“We hired the Oracle for a 600-person corporate event, and she was amazing! It’s hard to make an impact when there are so many activations and such a big group, but the Oracle made her mark and was a huge hit! Her costume was beautiful and her answers struck the perfect balance between lighthearted and sincere. Jessica was professional from start to finish, and I can’t recommend her enough. It was a true pleasure having her at our party.”
