How to Make a Wish with Your Coffee Cup
A wish is usually made silently before the cup is turned, often while holding the cup or resting a finger on its base. Readers then look for the answer in the bottom of the cup or on the saucer. A clear star, a clean path or a cup that stays stuck to the saucer are commonly read as a yes.
Keep the wish to one clear question. Many readers say a cup cannot answer several wishes at once, and mixed questions make the shapes harder to read.
Some people press a thumb into the bottom of the cup after it is turned and read the print it leaves. A clean print is often read as a wish granted.
