Chris Gould and I came up with the Zoltar Card way back when, which led to Mr Gould's very successful run of Zoltar (and consequently) KADAR products, some still exclusively available.
Here's what Chris wrote at the time ... _____ Just want to put a plug in for Zoltar which has been mentioned here. The idea of Zoltar was to produce an 'entry level' fun piece of pocket cold reading with a 50's fairground theme. The aim was to try and see how much of a cold reading system could be fit onto something no larger than a business card. This we achieved. So what you have is a very straightforward piece of cold reading that is mind numbingly simple to perform, even for the total novice (in fact once you perform it on someone, it is possible for them to take the card and perform to someone else!), at the same time the experienced cold-reader can really fly with it, as underpinning the card is a comprehensive and very solid cold reading system. So it is possible to use Zoltar to give a very in depth reading. I guarantee that whipping the old man out of your pocket will get you attention in a crowded place (did that sound wrong?). What is more - there is the most logical device for actually gaining the 'real information' built into the card. i.e. You will know the sitters question right at the start (if you want to cheat!) Finally, everyone knows Zoltar from the film Big, so you have instant recognition, and being Alchemy Moon, you know that the prop is going to look gorgeous. _____ I suppose these cards are collector's items now. I have a number of them still in my collection. The good old days. Or maybe ... these are the "good old days".

I have a Zoltar card which I hardly used. I was annoyed because Chris kept saying that there was another effect built into the card but he refused to give any further information about it, even on the private forum. (He did say that it wasn't a p.a., which was about the only thing we could think of.)

Not selling, I would say so if I was.
Just thinking back to the good old days. I suppose I could've just kept my thoughts to myself. Forgot for a moment this is the Café. Barry, are you referring to the billet thing? If so that did go out. Anyway....

"Also, there is far more on the magic that is embedded in the Zoltar card. Zoltar reveals his secrets over time." But he never did. |

Also: "There is [sic] many more ideas and tricks you can perform with Zoltar (some of you will have no problems finding a couple of them embedded in the card)." No-one on the forum ever did.

Well ... Zoltar did evolve, other sets were made, a lot more was shared. Eventually it was renamed Kadar, so there's been a lot revealed since the original mentioned here ...
There's a deck of cards available ... https://www.geminiartifacts.com/collecti......er-cards The Kadar Kabinet ... https://www.geminiartifacts.com/collecti......-kabinet Kadar Elite ... https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/view......forum=14
