I'm looking for a stripper deck made from ordinary tarot cards. Does anyone know where I could buy one, or make a reliable deck for myself? I used to have a marked deck of tarot cards, but it wasn't very useful (just the major arcana).

You just gave me an idea - invisible tarot deck. Maybe I'll use the roughing stick on my gilded tarot some day.
Try order your force card alone in a batch of 30-40. It depends on your deck.
Or you can scan the card (or DL a picture of the card from the manufacturer's site) and reprint it with a laser printer. Then glue it to a blank face deck of bicyles or something like that.

We produce marked cards in the Baphomet Underworld Pack, illustrated by HR Geiger. Unfortunately we sold out of these beautiful jumbo cards during our special this week (more coming in next week, so if you'd like to order some or need to see some pics, please PM me). We also have Rising tarots and Shimmed tarots.

With regards the stripper pack or ID you need to frequent the bizarre section of the Café - check this thread out:

If you post your questions in that forum you'll probably be inundated with ideas.

Thaumysta magic (Mary Tomich) used to sell gaffed ones and BlackHart may also be a source.

I think you'll have better luck with in the bizzare magic section. I know for certian Blackhart does a marked Major Arcana deck.

Have you worked with the Tarot often? Some people take this stuff very seriously, and back when I was a teenager, I have seriosly upset people (I mean that - upset them at a deep, emotional level) using Tarot decks for doing magic meant for cards. If you're just looking for a deck with pictures on them to make the presentation more interesting, there are other picture decks out there without the significance attached to the Tarot. Just my two cents...

P.S. Ofcourse, you may be someone with a lot of experience with the Tarot, and can tell which kind of people to do what with. In which case, I take my 2 cents back...
