Like the psychics and tarot card readers of America, Turkey has their own special kind of scam-people who can read your coffee cup. The first time I saw this was when I was in Ankara and I was having dinner at my friend Kezbans house. She told me her sister was coming over to read her coffee cup and I had no idea what the hell she was talking about. Her English is not that great so she described her as a magician.
After dinner Kezban had her Turkish coffee and then flipped over her cup onto the saucer and let it cool. When the sister flipped it back over, she looked at the cup very intently and talked about Kezban having another baby, changes with work maybe some money coming her way...the usual psychic stuff. Then she also read the gunk that came out of the cup onto the saucer. It held its own special secrets.
The good news is they have a coffee cup reading hotline so if you ever interested in getting your future read all you have to do is deposit some money into a bank account and then they will give you a call once the money has gone through.
