Turn of a Friendly Card by Jim Magus

Turn of a Friendly Card. Subtitled "A Treatise on the Tarot", the booklet has twelve chapters: "Agents of Fortune" is an introductory chapter including many tips on using Tarot cards. "Reading the Tarot for Fun and Prophet" is an excellent overview of fortune-telling with Tarot cards. "Tarot Psychometry" is a version of a classic of bizarre magick. "Return of the Sorcerer" explains how to construct an Acrobatic Arcanum (which is a gimmicked Tarot card that may be used to provide animation in a Tarot routine), and provides an eerie seance presentation.

"Fortune-Teller Seance" is the author's presentation for another classic of bizarre magick.  "In the Palm of the Hand" offers another use for an Acrobatic Arcanum. "Good Vibrations" uses a miniature dousing rod to locate a selected Tarot symbol. "Don't Fear the Reaper" is an eye-popping bizarre climax for a Tarot routine. "Jack Camp's Zodiac Cartomancy" is a streamlined method of discerning the spectator's astrological sign during a Tarot reading.

"Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya" is a powerful bizarre routine using a grotesque prop. "Talisman of Thoth" is a routine designed to introduce the four suits of the Tarot to a lay audience. "The Legacy Tarot" is a pack of Tarot cards that allow the reader to discern a question the client desires answered in the reading.
