Manicure could be done simultaneously with palm reading, saves time. Could be two people working on the customer or manicurist trained with palmistry to do the manicure job and palm reading simultaneously.

       I had my palm read once by a half-Russian, half-Chinese lapdancer - it was all going predictably flatteringly, until she got to my lifeline - which, from the look on her face suggested that I was either dead already, or that it was going to happen any minute now. Or maybe it was a ruse to suggest to me that I should spend all my money now, while I still had a chance.

       I think the hands face up for palm reading and down for manicure, so they would have to be two different people, with the manicurist laying down...

       Palm reading could be done remotely using a camera under a glass table. And palm reader would be quite possibly located in some cheap labour country like India or Philippines just like some call centers for IT companies.

       I love it. I wonder what other tasks could be similarly combined?   

       Haircutting and phrenology, of course.

       I see beautiful hands in your future.

       Taxidermy and zoonecromancy, anyone?
