Zambolo - Foot Fortune Teller Skit

This Skit is meant for Scouts BSA.
Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.

2 scouts, 3 volunteers
a chair

This is a prank skit, which may cause hard feelings, so care should be used in choosing volunteers.

One scout is the fortune teller and the other is his assistant. They both stand center stage.

Zambolo: I am the great Zambolo and I can tell the future. Many people can read palms, but I am the only one that can read soles - I read people's feet. I need a volunteer, please.
(volunteer is asked to sit in chair)
(Zambolo takes off shoe and hands it to assistant to hold)

(Zambolo examines the foot closely.)
Zambolo: I see you will have a long and healthy life.
(assistant returns shoe and another volunteer is requested as the first puts on his shoe and leaves)

(Repeat foot examination with 2nd volunteer)
Zambolo: It says you will earn great riches and marry a wonderful wife and have perfect children.
(assistant returns shoe and another volunteer is requested as the previous puts on his shoe and leaves)

(Repeat foot examination with 3rd volunteer)
Zambolo: Oh, this is good. I predict you will be taking a long trip very soon.

Assistant holds out shoe, but instead of giving it back, he turns and throws it as far as he can.
