Story time. I was entertaining at a corporate holiday party a few weeks ago. I typically do a 45 to
60 minute stage show and then stick around after to show some close up mentalism. I had watched this
lecture a few weeks prior and played around with the tarot reading. I have never done anything like
it, but have been trying to incorporate more readings into my work. After my show, I had a group of
about 20 people around me while I was doing my "post show" mind reading routines and handing out
business cards. One lady came up to me and asked me to do a palm reading on her. I know nothing
about palm reading, and she knew quite a bit, so I couldn't even fake a reading using her palm. So,
I told her that I could give her a little tarot reading with some playing cards. I proceeded with
what I had learned from Paul in this lecture. The first reading went so well that a line formed and
I did 5 more after her. One of the ladies that I did a reading for was the CEOs wife. The CEO came
up to me while I was packing up and expressed to me how amazing everything was and how much his
employees enjoyed the show and the readings I gave. He gave me a "very generous" tip and asked me
back the following year. I know a lot of people look at this type of material and shake their heads
as if it is not really usable, or are not interested because there are no "magical" secrets, but
they couldn't be farther from the truth. I know plenty of card tricks to keep an audience
entertained for quite some time, but eventually you will have to repeat a trick. With Paul's tarot
reading, every time will be different and your audience will eat it up! Great for one on one
readings or in front of a small group. Highly recommended lecture.
