I think this is why I like the Rider Waite decks. They're very Dennis Wheatley (very "skulls and smoking jackets in the drawing room") with lots of symbols and meaning the sitter can pick up on themselves, so they fit a lot of situations.
If there's an argument against playing cards in mentalism because they imply trickery instead of honesty, then surely there's also an argument against using a tarot deck that doesn't fit the situation, viz: http://tinyurl.com/aacpq
