The Medieval Tarot

Card-Shark.de

(Based on 1 review)
Just imagine! A Tarot deck that brings the past to life. Matching the look of the Gypsy Deck, the images were taken from the "Mittelalter Tarot" by Lo Scarabeo, Italy. The Tarot size of 60 x 110 mm can be handled very well and let you perform all your favourite moves (palming, double lift, several counts).

The cards seem to have seen many years pass by as they look old and worn. But in fact they are absolutely new and printed on the best playing card stock available (3-layer paper, linen structure, high flexibility, the same that you know from your favourite Bicycle deck).

The backs are marked in a very subtle way so that - if you like - you can easily find out which card is selected. Only those in the know will notice the secret. All the above features make this deck perfect for magicians.

Increase the possibilities with this deck by adding the cards of the extension set.

(Or combine these cards with the cards of the Gypsy Deck and perform a very unique version of "Out of this World"!)

I have several Tarot decks. This is one of my favorites.

The images are beautiful and the cards are made of quality stock. Actually they're the highest-quality tarot deck I own.

Being produced by a magician, these cards have one extra bonus: they're marked. The deck comes with instructions on how to read the markings, as well as a pretty standard booklet on the meanings of the cards.

All of the cards have the names in both English and German.

The only thing I find a bit odd about these cards is the juxtaposition of the antique images on modern card stock. They're obviously not "old". Instead of just glossing over this discrepancy, I take this as an opportunity to explain where the images came from -- three-sentence history lesson.

And the other bonus is that the publisher has put out an Extension Set with all manner of feked cards for use in magical routines.
