Tarot
Letter”
By
Woodfield
Background-‐
This
is
a
routine
utilizing
Volition
Version
2
that
also
uses
a
prediction
in
the
form
of
a
brief
3-‐card
reading.
Ian
Dunford’s
Past,
Present,
Future
idea
was
the
inspiration
as
well
as
a
desire
to
do
something
similar
to
Rick
Lax’s
“Past
,Present,
Future”
routine
without
defacing
a
tarot
deck
Set-‐up-‐
You
need
the
Major
Arcana
of
a
tarot
deck
as
well
as
2
duplicates
of
the
card
you
want
to
force
at
the
end.
This
gives
you
a
total
of
3
duplicates
you’ll
need.
The
three
duplicates
go
on
top
of
the
packet.
Remove
two
cards
from
the
packet
you
want
for
the
cards
you’ll
switch
in.
Mark
the
back
of
one
of
the
cards
and
place
them
in
your
pocket.
The
Letter
(explained
later)
is
folded
up
and
placed
in
an
envelope
but
not
sealed.
Effect-‐
The
performer
shows
a
group
of
people
the
22
Major
Arcana
cards
from
a
tarot
deck.
He
explains
that
he
does
readings
and
would
like
to
show
them
something
quite
extraordinary.
The
performer
removes
an
envelope
and
addresses
one
person
in
particular,
“I
think
this
has
something
to
do
with
you.”
The
spectator
is
asked
to
mix
the
cards.
Meanwhile
the
performer
removes
a
folded
letter
that
is
placed
aside
or
given
to
someone
else
to
hold.
Three
of
the
cards
are
removed.
One
is
placed
in
the
envelope
and
the
other
two
are
mixed
and
then
held
in
the
hands,
one
in
the
right
hand
and
one
in
the
left.
The
letter
is
then
opened
and
read.
“The
card
in
the
left
hand
represents
the
Past.
Visions
and
feelings
are
revealed
and
a
card
is
mentioned.
The
card
is
turned
over
and
matches
the
card
predicted
in
the
reading.
The
letter
explains
that
the
card
in
the
right
hand
represents
the
Present.
After
a
brief
reading
the
card
is
turned
over
and
it
too
matches
the
card
predicted
in
the
letter.
Finally,
the
letter
explains
that
the
card
in
the
envelope
represents
the
Future.
The
letter
ends
giving
another
brief
reading
that
is
both
positive
and
upbeat
and
names
the
exact
card
the
spectator
placed
in
the
envelope
at
the
start.
The
spectator
is
given
the
letter
as
a
memento
to
keep.
Handling-‐
Bring
out
the
22
cards
and
display
them
without
revealing
the
dupes
on
top
of
the
packet.
Explain
what
they’re
used
for.
Turn
them
face
down
and
get
a
break
under
the
three
dupes.
Mention
you
had
some
images
and
impressions
flash
through
your
mind
and
was
compelled
to
write
them
down.
You
point
to
one
of
the
spectators,
“I
think
they
relate
to
you.”
This
is
the
person
that
will
help
you
with
the
routine.
Bring
out
the
envelope
and
briefly
set
it
on
top
of
the
packet
as
you
gesture
towards
the
person.
Steal
the
three
dupes
underneath
the
envelope
and
hand
the
packet
to
the
spectator
fro
mixing.
After
they
mix
the
cards,
take
them
back
and
put
the
envelope
on
the
packet
loading
the
cards
on
top.
Open
the
envelope
and
remove
the
folded
letter
and
set
it
on
the
table.
Give
the
spectator
the
envelope
to
examine
to
prove
it’s
empty.
You
then
spread
off
the
top
three
cards
(dupes)
and
place
the
rest
of
the
packet
aside.
Have
her
mix
the
three
cards
and
place
one
sight
unseen
in
1
the
envelope,
she
hands
you
the
other
two
cards.
Suggest
she
put
it
in
her
pocket
or
purse
as
you
switch
the
two
cards
for
the
ones
in
your
pocket.
Now,
by
looking
for
the
marked
card
you
can
determine
if
you
will
read
the
letter
or
that
they
hand
you
the
cards
and
they
read
the
letter
as
per
the
Volition
Version
2
handling.
The
Letter-‐
Hi,
As
an
intuitive,
I
sometimes
get
impressions
or
visions
that
include
people,
events,
situations,
and
feelings
that
relate
to
the
imagery
found
in
the
Tarot.
I
always
feel
compelled
to
write
down
these
thoughts
knowing
they
would
be
important
to
someone
I
will
meet
in
the
future.
And
here
we
are.
The
card
in
the
left
hand
represents
the
Past.
Here
I
sense
difficulties
with
a
relationship
that
centered
on
lack
of
communication
that
forced
you
to
retreat
within
yourself
to
find
the
answers
you
needed
to
seek.
Retreating
into
your
“fortress
of
solitude”,
this
was
a
period
of
self-‐reflection
that
at
the
time
may
have
not
been
the
happiest
of
times,
but
it
was
an
important
moment
for
personal
growth
and
wisdom.
This
reminds
me
of
the
Hermit
card.
The
card
in
the
right
hand
represents
the
Present.
An
awakening!
Yes,
this
makes
sense.
A
new
period
is
about
to
begin
with
a
new
awareness
of
what
you
want
out
of
life,
what
your
purpose
is
in
this
lifetime,
connecting
the
dots
from
the
past
to
the
present.
Wait,
I’m
also
getting
some
elements
of
using
your
intuition
and
your
own
psychic
gifts
here.
Two
cards
come
to
mind
here.
What
I’m
getting
is
an
understanding
of
the
forces
that
have
directed
you
and
what
needs
to
be
done
to
navigate
your
course
for
the
future.
The
self-‐reflection
has
paid
off
and
you’re
ready
to
enter
the
next
chapter
in
your
life.
I’m
not
sure…possibly
the
High
Priestess
card
or
the
Judgement
card.
Finally,
the
card
in
the
envelope
represents
the
Future.
Again,
I
feel
good
about
this
card.
Wholeness,
completion,
and
a
feeling
of
being
at
peace
with
the
world.
A
rejuvenation
of
the
spirit!
Freedom
and
forgiveness.
This
is
the
World
card.
I
truly
felt
it
was
destiny
that
brought
us
together
to
share
this
time
together.
While
I
believe
destiny
or
fate
do
play
a
role
in
our
lives,
the
Universal
Source
gives
us
the
ability
to
make
our
own
decisions
in
life.
A
wise
man
once
said,
“The
best
way
to
predict
the
future
is
to
create
it
yourself.

Some
thoughts-‐
what
I
like
about
this
is
you
decide
which
three
cards
you
want
to
use
in
the
reading.
That
way
you
get
end
the
reading
on
a
positive,
hopeful
note.
I
also
you
the
pocket
Rider
Waite
Deck
which
are
smaller
than
the
standard
tarot
deck
size.
This
makes
the
moves
easier
to
do.
I
think
I
would
type
the
letter
on
a
computer
to
make
it
easily
readable
in
case
the
spectator
has
to
read
out
the
letter.
The
following
letter
is
just
an
example.
You
may
want
to
make
it
a
little
less
perfect
by
suggesting
in
the
past
or
present
phase,
two
cards
that
come
to
mind,
one
of
the
two
would
be
the
correct
card.
Just
using
the
Major
Arcana
instead
of
the
whole
tarot
deck
makes
it
easier
for
the
spectator
to
handle
them,
and
since
the
names
are
at
the
bottom
of
each
card
there
is
instant
recognition
that
the
card
matches
the
prediction.
You
could
also
include
a
business
card
with
the
letter
when
you
give
it
to
them
at
the
end
and
mention
you
also
offer
private
readings.
You
could
have
different
letters
printed
for
specific
demographic
groups
such
as
male,
female,
old,
young,
etc.
You
could
include
some
basic
cold
reading
lines
as
well.
