I love it. And the best thing is there have been a few times when they shuffle the deck after I pick a card or take the wrong amount of cards (language barrier) and i still get it right. 'You were born in winter' is more than a confirmation it's a one in four shot of being correct.
Oh i forgot, after the festival I met up with a few of the people who were there and I did the 'femans wing' tarot effect. It blew them away. One of them said 'I didn't belive in tarot magic, now I'm not too sure.' Then I did a one on one tarot effect with him (partly my own, partly another technique either from your book or the thoth tarot trickery) called synergy, and he just spent a good ten minuets staring at the tarot deck. It was the most fun I had in ages. Just the look on his face I realised I had taken him to another relm of exsistance. He asked me was it real or a trick and I told him 'What we shared here was very real.' Which is true, it was the closest thing either of us had got to experiancing real magic.
Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.
