Ello ello
as a looong time liver of color monte I had to get gypsy monte. (a big thank you to all you guys on this forum who spoke of it). I love it. the only problem I have with it is that I don't like the plastic backed cards that come with the effect. The story itself leads one to use old 'vintage' tarot cards imho. I know, just shuttup and buy a tarot pack. sorry, just kvetching.

Greg I was just thinking the same thing. Even though the plastic cards will last longer, I don't like the feel or look. But the routine is exelent. I'm always looking at tarot cards to see what they use for the "coin" "joker" and "death" card.

I use cards from the Tarot of the Witches deck. The Death card and the Fool card look really good.

As far as I know, there's only one. If you search for Tarot of the Witches deck on E-bay it will come up. If you Google it, it will come up.

Found 'em, Thanks Nicholas. Are they pretty thin or a heavier card?

I've always liked the Tarot cards Card-Shark put out a few years back. Called the Medieval Tarot Deck. You can see it in action in the following video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A5yCfqmD8g I'm not sure if Christian is still selling them on his site, but I did find them in stock at Vanishing Inc. Magic. Card-Shark also produce a Gypsy Deck, which would also work well with Wilson's routine. Marty |

Marty, I like both the Medieval Tarot and Gyspy Deck...I'm gonna end up having a larger collection of tarot decks than wallets!
