I was wondering if anyone has seen a card change box that is designed to fit tarot cards? An old, narly box would be best....I have several effects with the medieval tarot and accessory pack in mind ("where did the devil go?")
Thoughts?

Try Simon Colman at Magicurios.com - I'm sure he had one on the site once, although his stock has been changed considerably recently Hope you get some joy Steve (PS fully recovered mate??)

I have two Do-It-Yourself using Craft Shop Boxes plans on my site: In The Wizards' Journal #1, "Tarot Box" (which is most like what you describe you are interested in; and another box in The Wizards' Journal # 11, "Elevator Box" which is designed to make an entire deck of cards appear.

About 25 years ago at an I.B.M. convention, I purchased a locking (i.e., locking f**p) Card Box in a configuration that was longer than a regular Card Box. It was called a Bill Box, and it is the perfect size for tarot cards. Unfortunately, it was from a small company (probably a one-man operation) that is probably no longer in business. (The term Bill Box is used now for a very different trick.)
Owens Supreme Magic does make a Card Box for jumbo cards that you can find on their website. It might be suitable for tarot cards. There are no prices, but I would imagine that it is expensive but of very high quality. I use a Himber wallet to accomplish the task with cards. I keep the wallet open like the leather folders used for your check in a better restaurant. Card #1 is placed on the open wallet, then as I move to another part of the audience closing the wallet only very briefly, Card #2 is in its place.

Oh wow, I'd even forgotten I have one of those things!
(thanks egregor! ) Yeah, that'll work very well for tarot cards.

Himber wallet...HIMBER WALLET! (DUH!) Why didn't I think of that!
Thanks Bill!! Obviously I don't have a firm grip on the obvious! I know I have one here someplace. Thanks again! Andre
