Response from Oracle Acts:
Thank you Keisha!!! It was such fun to be a part of your birthday celebration!
We had about 100 professionals at our annual customer social for the holidays...
Needless to say, the holiday themed ladies from Oracle Arts were a big hit and helped to keep our event lively and memorable... I would highly recommend them for professional as well as business casual events as they were well received and enjoyed by all..
And good icebreaker for the shy ones in the group to help them to interact..
We will likely request Oracle Arts again next year.

What to Expect
How it works:
Guests can type any question on the typewriter - personal, philosophical, any question. Guests love typing on the beautiful vintage typewriter. The Oracle finds them a little bit later on, so they don't have to wait, and delivers the answer. First she dances the answer, a short 30 second dance, and then she gives them the written answer. Having been a professional dancer for over ten years, the danced answers are a highlight!
You choose the costume:
1920s Elsie: 1920s flapper dress with a typewriter from 1922
1940s The Widow: 1940s black spider dress with a typewriter from 1938
1950s The Belle: 1950s cocktail dress with a typewriter from 1958
1960s The Digital Secretary: 1960s secretary outfit with a typewriter from 1958
1980s The Velvet Angel: Black velvet cocktail dress and a typewriter from 1984
1980s Oracle Dotty: Yellow fashion dress and a typewriter from 1984
Futuristic The Starbella: Futuristic space suit that lights up
The Oracle Goddess: Fantastic headpiece with reed pen and ink.
Setup: It works best to have a high top cocktail table as the base, and then the Oracle can roam the crowd from there. No music or technical setup is required. It also works to have her in a separate room if preferred.
"Jessica was such a wonderful addition to our corporate Halloween Party! She was interactive with our attendees, her costume was gorgeous and everyone really loved the entertainment. We would definitely love to have her Oracle services again, it was really a hit." -Niccole, Maven Clinic
"The Oracle is an exhilarating two-fisted punch! First, you are giggling at the period costume and hairstyle, as you pose a question for the medium. Then the interpretive dance moves take over and you’re really wondering what could possibly come next. When the physical movement transforms into a wise one-sentence answer to your query, typed out on a vintage typewriter, you suddenly reverse course and begin to suspect that something inspired is going on here, that you may be in the presence of a new Delphi." - Tim Noel
VIRTUAL PERFORMANCES:
Do you want a memorable entertainment option for your virtual event? A virtual Oracle performance is perfect for event planners and hosts who want to add something fun, different and personal to their virtual events.
How it works:
The Oracle appears in costume, colorful lighting and with a vintage typewriter. She takes questions from guests and answers them with a written answer and a performance! Entertaining and delightful.
“Oracle Acts is a diamond in the rough. As a longtime New Yorker who enjoys nightlife, I have seen many acts and this is one of the really, really good ones. They made booking them & communicating with them extremely easy. They showed up on time, understood our party, understood & managed the virtual technology (Zoom) very well, and did not require any hand holding. As for their act, everyone was obsessed with them and had a grin from ear to ear. They were literally the talk of the party, and for weeks after. Their unique presentation, style and entertainment worked really well for our mixed group of 30-somethings with different interests and expectations. I cannot thank them enough and I feel truly lucky to have found them and had an opportunity to book them. We will be booking them again!” - Kevin Rusnak
About
Before the Internet, Oracles were where you went to get answers.
They were mediums to the deities.
Bridges to the Gods.
In Ancient Greece, Oracles were female portals to wisdom.
Fast forward to the 21st Century and Oracles entertain the room and turn your event into an experience.
Less foreboding than a palm reader, more fun than a stilt walker, and more meaningful than a photo booth, Oracle Acts is both delightful and poignant- bringing you the glitter and the gold.
