Effect:

The Tarot are handed to the volunteer (V). (Please note that at no time through this effect does the Mage see the faces of the Tarot.) They are asked to remove any 8 cards. The 8 cards are mixed and laid face down on the table.

The V is asked to remove any card of their choice. They are asked to study the face of the card, to take in every detail, color, numbers and words. The card chosen card is shown to the rest of the gathering. The card is replaced and again the 8 Tarot are mixed.

The Mage now takes the card and divides them into two face down packets. The V is shown both, they are asked to pick up the packet containing their card. They are now asked to picture "within the eye," their third eye the background of the card. While doing this they are to slowly deal their packet onto the table. For each card they deal you will deal a card from the other packet on top (alternating). So again one pile sits in the middle of the table containing 8 cards.

The pile is once more divided into two packets and the V is shown each and asked to pick up the packet containing their card. This time they are asked to focus in on the image and picture this "within the eye." The cards are then dealt one for one again.

The cards are now divided into two packet for one final time. You explain to the V that they are used they third eye to picture the chosen tarot. The must now use something from deeper within.

** They are asked to take there left hand and place it on top of either of the packets. They do this and the other packet is discarded. They are not asked to deal the 4 cards in a row on to the table. After doing this they are asked to take their left hand and place it onto one of the cards. With this done the other face are turned over and discarded. The card they have their hand over is turned and is show to be the chosen card.

To end a short reading could be given for the chosen card. Method:

First I must apologize I can't remember where I picked up this little gem. But it was so long ago that its been through the wash a hell of a lot. I've taken it and molded it into what

I believe to be a beautiful presentation. It may read a little long, but give it a go and you'll be surprised.

The beauty of this is that it requires no set-up or funny moves. Its completely self- working and at no time do you need to see the faces!!

The V removes any 8 cards. They can initial be mixed as much as they see fit. They now chose a card and focus in on it.

The 8 cards and gathered and again can be mixed. Now you divide the 8 cards into 2 packets of 4 cards. This is done by just pushing over the top 4 cards. DO NOT DEAL THEM!! Place the top 4 cards to the left and the lower 4 to the right

Lift up the left pile and show the faces, then lift up the right pile and show the faces. Now ask the V to pick up the pile containing their card.

Now explain the for every card they deal you will deal one from the other pile on top of it mixing the cards even more. These are alternately dealt into the one pile on the table.

The pile is again split into two packets are place on the table as you did previously. Both packets are again show to the V and the pick up the packet containing their card. Again deal the two packets alternately onto the table.

The above has place the chosen card 3rd from bottom. If you try this out a couple of times with the chosen card face up you'll see how it works.

The pile is for the final time split into two packets. The top 4 to the left and the bottom 4 to the right. You now force the right packet. The V is now asked to deal the cards from (their) left to right. This places the card 2nd from left the perfect position for the

psychological "left hand force." Ask the V to place their left hand on any card, fingers crossed they go for the 2nd from left if not it's a simple case of "Magicians Choice."

** One idea I do play around with from time to time is a pendulum. Knowing where the card is the final 2 packets and the final 4-in-a-row, I ask the V if they have a ring I can borrow, I take the ring and thread it on to some ribbon. I ask the V to hold my wrist and I "call up the spirits". I start with a couple of basic questions which we both know the answers to, just to get the yes-no orientation right. I then place the pendlulm/ring over each packet asking the spirit which contains the chosen card. I then do the same with the 4-in-a-row.

As I said I believe this is a beautiful anytime presentation. To add a short basic reading for the chosen card and the end also give it a natural ending.
