If you had to design a commercial to sell a deck..what would the commercial be...For Thoth..it'll be gothic.....lots of smoke..maybe fariuiza Baliuk (okay I slaughtered her name) coming out of the shadows then morphing into Catherine Zeta Jones holding up the Thoth deck saying....explore the dark, explore the light...explore the beauty of Thoth then we get that annoying T-Mobile music in the background .............

TdM TV Commercial: We see a nice ancient village. A dusty road surrounded by extremely green trees leads to it. It's early in the mourning, nobody is there, we hear the birds singing ... Then someone dressed like the fool appears walking, jumping and dancing... And, of course, looking happy. He goes singing something like: "Tarot, tarot, tarot is the map for the road". Then he puts his hand on the pocket and throws a pack of cards to the camera. Then the image freezes and we see some beautiful shinning cards inducing people to buy the deck (you know, some subliminal publicity...) Maybe the wheel of fortune and king of pentacles would work?? Some letters appear saying: "Tarot de Marseille, the original one".

Housewives tarot would have the cheesy voice over asking questions like " Would YOU like to know when betty Sue is finally going to give you her famous Devil's Food Cake Recipe? Is Bobby John going to make the baseball team?" While a nice 50's housewife nods her head "Well then cheer up cause this the deck for you" Flash to bright over the top smil from housewive. "Yes with the Housewives Tarot you can learn the answers to this and many other of life's little questions. No mess. No Fuss. AND it comes in a cute little carry box perfect to co-ordinate in your home" Show pictures of happy housewives getting readings. First 100 orders receive a free set of steak knives. But it would be completely over the top in a way that you would know it's not serious.

how about 2 paths one leading either direction.. then the voice over "what does your path have in store for you?" years ago i saw a commercial for the morman church that i think would be great.. a guy stepped into a cab and the driver asks "where to?" the guy says i dunno, repeat through glurge.. I think it should be re written so the guy finds a deck of cards. and then everything snaps into place
