Hiring an external tarot reader would have introduced too many variables I couldn't control. I had no way to ensure their interpretations would match the celebratory party vibe — what if someone got a heavy reading that killed the mood? Party guests aren't in the mood to have existentially life changing information thrust on them; they're here to be inspired and I wanted to honor that context.

Most importantly, I couldn't guarantee consistency. One guest might get a two-minute surface reading while another gets a twenty-minute deep dive into their childhood trauma. The experience needed to feel special and personalized for everyone without creating wildly different outcomes that could make some guests feel shortchanged.

Finally, there was the practical issue of keepsakes. I wanted to give people something physical to take home from a live reading without awkward interruptions. How could I condense all the information of a reading into an instant experience? "Hold on, let me write this out for you" breaks the magical flow entirely.

By creating Madam Clarity, I could design exactly the right amount of mystical insight for the context — meaningful enough to feel genuine, light enough to keep the party energy flowing, and consistent enough that everyone walked away feeling equally seen and celebrated. Plus, every interaction ended with that perfect fortune fish keepsake, something that would have been impossible to orchestrate with a human reader.
