I used to read with these tiny tarot, carrying them around with me at all time, incase of an emergency reading for someone! Does anyone else use them?

I used to own a tiny version of the Universal Wait, in a little cardboard box, but I just couldn't shuffle it properly. Do you have really delicate hands, Happiness, or are you just very good, manually? I gave it away, unfortunately (this was before I had correctly identified myself as a tarotholic). I did see a tiny little booklet with a microscopic version of the Tarot nova attached to it in a shop, the other day - really cute, just not very useful... cards were about the size of the nail of my thumb. I am tempted to buy them, though - they were so cute! Then again, I already have the Tarot Nova... :D Hedera.

I have HUGE hands, which means does rather help one give massages, but a pain with shuffling! Am I good manually? Well, I build model aircraft, cars, etc. so, maybe I am.

I carry my Tiny Universal Waite around with me all the time. I've got the keychain version, but unfortuately the loop broke. So now they just float around in my purse. I've only used them once, and all I did was swish them around to shuffle. I do have small hands, but I'm a bit too uncordinated to shuffle cards that small.

You probably look good too baby@ happiness. That comment is if you are a male. If you are female I am sure you have beautiful hair I had a small deck that i used in the beginning. It was the rider waite mini deck. I played with them in between classes in college.

i carry the tiny UW, ever since i switched to a smaller backpack; but sometimes i still forget that i have it with me! i keep it in a silk drawstring bag with a tiny spreadcloth (i didn't want the keyring version, 'cuz i gotta have that spreadcloth with my cards...) i am quite un-coordinated, but as long as i'm careful, i mix the deck pretty well. like silverlotus, i swish the cards. :)

Err, I am a man, but I am not sure how to take the above! :confused: Do I look good? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Well, I am a big chap, being 6'3" and large. I guess my hands fit my body!!! People do find it risible how big people like small things. My favourite car is the Mini (not the new BMW thing, but the real job from 1959), most girls who I have loved are well under 5', and I have the tiny tarot. It can be difficult to shuffle, but with a bit of effort quite possible.

my first deck was actually a 'miniture' deck that fit comfortably in my plam (i have very small hands.) its a nice deck, not my fav. but nice.

If there is anyone on this thread that is into palmistry my hands are conic shaped. That means the base of my hands are wide and my fingers are extremley long. It is sort of difficult to use the mini tarot .

I too have the tiny Universal Waite, I've used them a couple of times but they are so small, and the box they came in is too large for them - usually I moan about how big some decks are :) I do like these cards though and have carried them about with me - I just have to find something better to keep them in :)

I saw in TV the other night [antiques roadshow] a watch expert was saying that watchmakers normally had huge 'butcher's' hands -- as large hands are often more senstive and dexterous!
