Beginning of the story
"My friendship with Mr William Legrand began many years ago. He had once been wealthy, but a number of misfortunes had made him poor; and to avoid the shame of his situation, he had gone to live at Sullivan’s Island, near Charleston, South Carolina. He had built himself a small hut, and was living there with and old servant called Jupiter, when I first met him. He was an educated man and had unusual powers of mind which interested me greatly. In fact, I was really intrigued about such powers. Who had ever heard about a person who could do any of these things?

He became rich gambling when he was still young. He had the ability to predict the inminent future just a few seconds before it happened. He just had to concentrate and touch something related to what he wanted to predict and then visions came. He discovered he could do this once when he was asking a girl to go out with him when he was in High School. Things didn´t seem favourable for him but when he started talking to her, and touched her briefly her answer came to his mind. Since then, he started to use these powers for everything and when he discoverd its usefulness in casinos, his luck started to change. He won every single game. Nobody could believe it. It was impossible but apparently there was no trickery. Within years, he won millions, then billions. He made a real fortune! But then, one day, things changed again, for the worse.
