Hi all. I was in the Practical Magic web site and I came apon the Practical Magic Tarot. Does any one know if this deck really egsists? Check it out, shuffle the deck. The art resembles that of the Aunt's Book of Shadows Click on the link and go to the red candles below. It will say Practical tarothttp://practicalmagic.warnerbros.com/main.html

Finally got the shockwave plug-in to work! If I ever find the images of the real tarot, I'll be glad to post here... ------------------------------------------------- On Old English Tarot. I see how the confusion happened, as I got a glyph somehow that pulled in the Old English Tarot--I cannot replicate my initial mistake. Anyway, you are right, the initial Old English Tarot is very very different. http://www.tarot.com/about-tarot/decks/browsedecks.php You can see all the cards above free at tarot.com. Amazon.com carries this tarot beginning at $13.00 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=1572810408/ref=nosim/aeclectic/ It's very pretty. I gave mine away a few years ago, just didn't feel the need to have it again. I hope if you obtain it you report back on how you like it. Mari H.

Hi Mari, actually that is not the deck at all. The Practical Magic Deck is dark, grayish brown. With figures that look more like shadows. Maybe this link will work so u can view the cards.http://practicalmagic.warnerbros.com/cmp/tarotframeset.html

U can get a free reading with the deck, or browse through them. I like it, for a collection. Especially as a gift for my daughter who is a huge fan of the Movie. Would make a nice stocking stuffer if I only knew the correct name. Again here is the correct link to view the cards. And it is not the Old English Tarot. http://practicalmagic.warnerbros.com/cmp/tarotframeset.html

The picture won't come up for me, just a square with an X in it. Even right clicking won't do it.

I really like that deck.. and the site is very cool ( I like the sound effects of the deal) . It would make a nice stocking stuffer (mine :joke: ) By the way I did go to US Games web site and was unable to locate that deck. Then I re read the Practical Magic site again, "Text from the Old English Tarot Deck and used with permission by U.S. Games Systems........" So I am guessin' we are s.o.l. :(

If you go to the site map on the Practical Magic web site, it describes what is at each area. It says the the Practical Tarot was created exclusively for the website.

It says in one of the sequences at the end of the review there were tarot cards in a scene or trailer or menu... http://www.angelfire.com/il/currentfilm/practicalmagicdvd.html Anyone have the DVD? I'm curious. I actually don't remember tarot cards in the movie. Mari H. P.S. They are beautiful designs. I'm keeping an eye on this thread. By the way, Practical Magic is going to be a television show, according to an entertainment news report...so maybe Warner Brothers will release a tarot card deck!

WolfyJames	30 Nov 2003
I was right. I installed the latest version of Shockwave and now I can see it. The reading was amazingly accurate. I don't like the cards though. I'm going to keep the link to get other readings. The animation is well done.

Okay know that we are on the subject of Hollywood Witches and Tarot. There is another really nice deck I saw. This time on TV. The Show was, "Charmed" and Piper and Phoebe give Paige a Tarot deck for her birthday gift. It is a really huge deck, and she lays it on her bed to get a reading. Anyway that is another deck I would not mind getting. It was huge, and really nice, any one know if that is an actual Tarot for sale, or just for the show. On the Practical magic Tarot, the art is simple, reminds you of the Aunt's books of Shadow. Dark Shadowy images in Parchment backgrounds, just would like to have as far as collecting them. Thanks for all the replies.

http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11070&perpage=10&highlight=charmed%20tarot&pagenumber=2 There's not an actual deck and no response of any delighted person finding it at all...sigh. Mari H.

I was looking for those too with out any luck! :( I am sure they were made for the show, which sucks because there is yet another illusive deck that I want.
