Unveil the mysteries of your destiny with the captivating Zoltan Prophet a vintage fortune teller from the late 1960s. Crafted between 1967 and the early 70s, this intriguing piece of history stands out with its unique design – a fiberglass body perched on a pedestal. It may not have moving parts, but its crystal ball glimmers with light, casting an otherworldly glow as fortunes are revealed.
To experience Zoltan’s magic, simply insert a coin and choose from one of twelve zodiac-themed buttons. Although they’re connected in the same circuit, each press activates the tape system, offering 14 distinct fortunes, each about a minute long. Crafted by Bernard Cousino, these messages are a blend of predictions, lucky numbers, and auspicious colors, delivered in a distinctive Hungarian accent.
The brains behind this enchanting machine are Robert B. Bourque and Robert Cottle, with Bourque’s deep voice lending authenticity to the fortunes. Interestingly, Bourque had a stint as “Captain Bob” on a Boston TV show for children.
For audiophiles and collectors, we have exciting news! You can listen to a Zoltan fortune via our phone service, and explore different messages of Zoltan Cousino. Additionally, a state-of-the-art solid-state device has replaced the original Cousino tape player, ensuring flawless performance while retaining the machine’s classic charm.
Please note, the Zoltan Prophet should not be confused with the “Zoltar Speaks” machine featured in Tom Hanks’ 1988 film “Big.” While both share a name, they are distinct in appearance and functionality.
