Tarot Card Tricks? Are you nuts?

...probably!
Since this is for odd topics, I have a large collection of tarot cards, and I've only tried reading a few times. I just love cards. Studying poker/playing card routines with 52/54.I'm naturally curious about using the larger, obviously different cards for magic, close-up, etc. I know this sounds weird, but hear me out...
I'm definitely not saying create a reading, or use them for psychic mumbo-jumbo. Have fun if you're into that, but what I mean is using them as an extension to normal SoH, self-working, etc. kinds of playing card tricks. I'd like to hear about mixing & matching (since playing cards came from the same place tarocchi did), card tricks/illusions with JUST tarot cards, or whatever.
For example, many times we set up decks to tell a story as we count words out, creating a stack layout. Well, tarot cards can get very colorful and have definite imagery that would work a lot better than pip cards in a story, right? Tarot even has aces! What about a routine that is supposed to be a 'reading', but ends up being a trick in the process?
So what are you doing now with tarot cards?
Can you do SoH with such big cards?
How would palming work?!
Who among you have taken the challenge of these decks head on and done something really unique?
TIA!
