Louis Jamon is the first palmist in the world to whom this mysterious craft has brought great fame. One glance at a human palm was enough for a brilliant seer to accurately predict the fate of his client, including the cause and time of his death. Hamon also foresaw his own inglorious death, but he did not manage to deceive fate.
In fact, his name was William John Warner. The future great palmist was born on November 1, 1866. in a small Irish village near Dublin. William's father was English, his mother was French, in whose veins a lot of gypsy blood flowed. The mother was the first to see in the boy's palm a special sign that promised his owner extraordinary abilities and a life full of bright events. Being terminally ill, the woman asked her son immediately after her death to go to London in order to find a teacher who would initiate William into the basics of palmistry, astrology and numerology. The young man fulfilled the last will of his mother exactly.
Becoming a great palmist
The astrologer Greg Dawson, known throughout the country, became the mentor of William John. After studying with him for about two years, Warner realized that he had surpassed the famous master in the field of occult sciences and was ready to go further, and therefore went to India.
The young man's new teacher was an Indian Brahmin who owned a Bombay bookshop. He was known as a connoisseur of manuscripts and a master of palmistry. The mentor introduced his student to a very ancient and amazing book dedicated to the art of fortune telling by hand.

After several years in India, Warner decided to return to Europe. While admonishing him, the Brahmin said that William would be a great soothsayer. The only thing he shouldn't do is take big money for his craft, otherwise his wonderful gift will be lost …
The novice fortuneteller changed his simple name and became Louis Jamon, taking the title of count at the same time. Count Hamon became widely known in 1880. the murder of a wealthy London businessman, when the palmist pointed out his murderer from only one bloody fingerprint left by the criminal on the door. From that time on, the affairs of the young soothsayer went uphill, and at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries, Louis Jamon achieved great fame. The palmist knew many prominent contemporaries, starting with the legendary Mata Hari and ending with the Prince of Wales himself. At the same time, the count absolutely accurately guessed the details of their life, "reading" the lines on his hands.
The audience was frightened by the inevitability with which Hamon's predictions of death came true. For example, the Italian king Umberto I died, as predicted by the palmist, at the hands of a terrorist. The count predicted the sad death of Oscar Wilde, which would follow prison and poverty, the murder of Grigory Rasputin, the loss of the life and family of Nicholas II in 1918.
Louis Jamon spoke of his foresight of the Russian Revolution, World War II, and even the founding of the State of Israel. It is curious that in the autobiographical book “Confession. Memoirs of a modern seer the count wrote that he considers himself more a psychic than just a palmist, and the lines on the palms, like horoscopes, are only a tool for learning the truth …
Even the great palmist cannot escape fate
Knowing his own fate weighed heavily on Hamon, and in the mid-1920s he decided to leave for the United States. New York reporters who met the overseas prophet asked him to demonstrate his amazing abilities. The count was offered handprints of different people - and he guessed their fate for sure, naming details that he simply could not know.
Having settled in Hollywood, Louis Hamone began to accept numerous clients eager to open the curtain of the future at any price. The prices of the palmist, popular in the bohemian environment, grew steadily. The unusual business brought in considerable profit, and Hamon wanted to believe that he had outwitted fate. However, in 1929. the idyll ended at once when Henry Ford came to visit the fortuneteller.
Like many, the American industrialist wanted to know what awaited him on the path of life. Looking at the palms of the magnate, Hamon felt that the earth was leaving from under him: all the lines on his hand merged into one and "erased" the rest of the signs … The ingenious gift, as was once predicted, disappeared without a trace!
In 1936. Louis Jamon, a self-styled earl and former great prophet, died at the Red Cross Hospital for the Poor. Losing his ability and losing his fortune, he ran into large debts. As follows from the nurse's recollections, the heart of the great palmist stopped at one in the morning, and at this time the clock in the ward struck three times instead of once …
