Magic and Storytelling by TC Tahoe

Using storytelling to not only effectively enhance effects, but also your show.

In The Play of Shadows: The Tarot Effect by TC Tahoe

29 effects with Tarot cards.

Here is what Richard Webster had to say about it:

In the Play of Shadows" is a goldmine...

Until now, it's been hard to find powerful effects that use Tarot cards. For me, effects with Tarot cards should include a fascinating story, and any moves need to look natural.

T C Tahoe obviously knows all this. His book is full of powerful effects, created with simple moves, and every one of them has a delightful...

Luck of the Draw by TC Tahoe

Luck of the Draw reading system. This is a wonderful easy system that is well suited to entertainment readings as well as being able to go more in-depth. It is great for walk-a-round situations too. TC often uses Luck of The Draw as an "add-on" to other readings. It is fun and very non-offense style of oracle, as it deals with "Lucky Items".
