If we get any number, it is considered a prediction for that number. Shake the number stick in the red box to bring down just one number, then take that number and look at it. There will be a piece of paper with a prediction written on it. We take it and read it, but a person's beliefs may not be true. Or it may be a blessing or a warning, depending on the judgment of the person.
