Past/Present/Future



Merlin Trotter first learned to read tea leaves at the age of 13. Fortune-telling was a family affair growing up in the orchards in Kent so it all came naturally to him. Only a few years later he started reading for others. The boys laughed and teased him about having a "girl's job" but what they didn't know was that it got him into all the best parties. He says life was way more interesting back then—no tellies, no phones, and the city looked different. Now, much older, he keeps the magic alive by reading tarot on his narrowboat as it cruises through the canals of London.
