How do you measure success from palm reading?

Palm reading is an age old tradition. Some people believe that the lines and shape of someones hands can accurately indicate personality. Often a palm reader might use "cold reading". using observations and appearance to draw conclusions about a persons life. A good cold reader will try to please the person by telling them what they are looking to hear. In this way, the reader might appear to have phychic powers. Palm lines are closely related with greek mythology. Each greek god or goddess was associated with a certain part or line on the palm.
