I would be selective about when I might do tricks with tarot cards. There are certain folks who view them in a spiritual light and it might bother them in the same way that doing a torn and restored page from a Bible would bother Christians. I'm not saying don't do tricks with tarot, but I am saying to think about how your audience will react to those tricks and what effect you might have on them.
I don't do tricks with tarot. I do readings. I believe that's the most entertainment value I can currently give with these cards. -Patrick |

Sound advice Wool. I would never use these with my mother as she's extremely religious. What I'll probably end up doing is wrap the tarot cards in a tarot cloth and have it hanging out in my wonder room Lewis Le Val's "Black Flag" would work well in this situation, though I haven't come up with any kind of presentation.

I love the "Wonder Room" concept. Reminds me of the Ripley's Believe It Or Not museums you see in resort towns. I have the same approach when I do my oddities and wonders show for older kids, usually boys birthdays. Some standard tricks, some bizarre effects, and a few gaffs from Doug Higley. My tarot pack is another artifact bundled in an authentic old lace handkerchief with a weird pendulum.

My own pet effect, to which I referred on page 1 of this thread, is a demonstration of what I would do if I did readings. It could be combined with a reading if you wished. Barry |

For anyone who might be interested, I just posted a review of the Gemini vintage tarot decks over at the Tricks & Effects section:

Thanks balzar. The cards look great. I think I'm also adding kioku and the Hobbs deck to my wish list. Thanks for pointing me to Gemini
