All our love, The Teachers Team 2 SYNOPSIS The idea of getting a part-time job once high school is over may make a lot of sense for many, but not for Eric. He’s just had a super creative business idea to make lots of money easily before starting university. The endeavour seems totally worth the while when he sees he has the right charisma for the job: he’s planning to become a fortune teller and medium. The only thing is, every clairvoyant needs an assistant. His best friend, Daniel, is willing to partner up with him. The site is promptly sorted out as well. Eric’s mum has an apartment which is vacant right now. Even if Rose is not willing to make things easy for her son, she understands he’ll need a place to study to prepare for university, or at least this is what they want her to believe. Eric’s dad, Albert, helps persuade her and she finally agrees. Now, Eric and Daniel will have to keep the real use of the apartment secret from Eric’s parents and from everyone else. Once the place is decorated, their outfits picked and the ads placed, the first clients start rolling in. How long can they keep pretending without anyone uncovering the truth? Will their clients find out they’re being conned? moral Sooner or later the truth will come out. Cheaters never prosper. 3 Vocabulary This list of vocabulary will help you enjoy the play more fully.

Contact: [email protected] The Art of Fortune-Taking People suffering grief or emotional distress turn to many places for comfort, which can make them a target of psychic scam artists. Stigma about falling for scams might prevent victims from seeking help. By Allie Weintraub According to a recent study by the Stanford Center on Longevity, scammers use persuasion tactics to elicit strong emotions from potential victims. This altered emotional state can make some targets, especially older adults, more likely to eventually fall for the scam. “It gets you in this frenzy of emotion,” said Cathy*, a Bedford Hills woman who alleges she was recently duped into giving $12,000 to a woman who claimed to possess psychic powers and had a history of identity theft and fraud accusations. Cathy, 64, recounted the ordeal after business hours in the law offices where she has worked as a legal assistant for the past 13 years. Cathy took the position because it was stable and paid enough to cover expenses with some left over to save each month. However, this year, Cathy began to feel the job wasn’t creative enough.
