Tobar CEO - Sid Templer Est - 1973 I cannot imagine anything so pointlessly irksome than a piece of flimsy cellophane material in a shape of a fish that supposedly can tell you personal fortuity facts; whilst in the hollow of you're palm. It could easily be in a shape of an owl or a jelly baby. An owl, partly because we all know that all owls' are wise feathered creatures, so a fortune telling owl is believable. A jelly baby would be for novelty reasons; they're cute and the florescent red material reminds me of translucent jelly; although beyond thin in width and is nauseating when it flies off even at the hint of air passing by. A fish only represents a ...  Read the complete review

*** I purchased this item after reading some reviews on it, and thought this looks like a bit of fun. As I also had a teeny bit of amazon gift cash left, I decided to use it up on a couple of these items. The product comes in a thin white slip cover/pocket. Both the fish and the cover are plastic. The fish is extremely thin, that unless you've seen the picture of it, you probably wouldn't think to open the cover to take the fish out. I had expected it to be a bit thicker, and I'd assumed the fish would be made out of a rubbery material, which is the impression I get from the picture. However the plastic material it is made out of, is so ...  Read the complete review

I like to have my fortune read and think these fish are brilliant at foreseeing your fortune, when I need advice I always ask the fish for a reading- joking. Again thanks Hawkins Bazaar for your hours of fun and entertainment. We've had loads of these over the years and I've just double checked the price on the Hawkins web-site and they're 25p- alot cheaper than most Fortune Tellers. These are the Christmas cracker toy we're all hoping for at Christmas as most cracker boxes have them in. The fish comes in a white packet with 'Fortune Teller Miracle Fish' in red writing on it. It's a red fish shape that looks like it's been cut out of a Quality Street ...  Read the complete review

For anyone who is not familiar with the idea (and it is indeed a rather strange idea), Fortune Teller Fish are vaguely fish-shaped pieces of transparent red cellophane. They are really simple to use. All you have to do is place the fish in the palm of your hand or someone else's hand and watch to see what happens. The exact way the fish moves allows you to interpret your "fortune". Each fish comes with a little list of interpretations which are as follows: Moving head = Jealousy Moving tail = indifference Moving head and tail = In love Curling sides = fickle Turning over = false Motionless = Dead fish Curls up ...  Read the complete review

==Overview== The fortune telling fish has been around as long as I have. Made out of a thin plastic film and shaped like a fish, it is purported to tell you fortune based on the way in which it curls itself up when placed on your hand. They typically turn up in Christmas Crackers but you can also buy them from places like Hawkins Bazaar for the price of 25 pence. The packet has a list of things on it that the fish might do such as curl up at the sides, the tail curling only, head curly only etc. and these are supposed to signify different things such as love, lust, fear etc. ==My Opinion== Someone actually bought one for me (rather than ...  Read the complete review
