Lóri, the fortune teller

(Budapest,2024,for Népszava)

László Lóránt, a fortune teller and masseur, worked for 20 years as a locksmith at the Uranium Mine in Pécs (Pécs Uranium Mine Company), then in 1991 the mine closed down and he had to find a new profession. In his search for a new path, life took a strange turn and he became a fortune teller. The letter M is clearly visible on his hand. A gypsy woman told him that only a sheer 0.01% of the world's population have it on their hands. Those who have it are magicians. And he indeed it: from fortune-telling to love spell, the handsome man nicknamed Lóri is visited by many with a variety of requests in his small shop on Népszínház Street, where he welcomes ordinary and well-known people alike. Celebrities ask him to lock the door while they are inside. Who they are is a mystery: discretion is very important in this business. Nonetheless, if you dare to ask the right question about your life you would not risk to share with anyone else, you will certainly receive an answer.
