Close-up of a fortune teller's shop front on Coney Island. The multiple signs read, "Reader and Advisor," "Have Your Hand Writing Analyzed," "We Give Card Readings and Tea Leaf Readings." The display features artificial candles and plants as well as figurines seated at a miniature table. The Tornado roller coaster structure reflects on the window's glass.
