Om Namah Sivaya!
Inspiration just struck! Now, this seems so obvious to me that I wouldn't be surprised if it were already a game or a method of reading by distance.
the jdev shuffle
This is for doing three card distance readings. You may apply any of your favorite three card spreads to this, but the jdev shuffle reads the cards as a whole, not in any order, or any assigned position. What you will do is ask your querent to pick three numbers between one and seventy-eight while thinking of their question.
You will already have shuffled and reversed (or not) your chosen deck very well. When your querent gets back to you with their three chosen numbers, you will cut the deck one final time, put it back together, and then count the cards according to their chosen numbers. I think this is obvious, but I will give an example.
Say that Ivana Mann wants a reading and you tell her to concentrate on her question and pick three numbers between one and seventy-eight. She chooses 37, 16, and 8. Now, I think it is important to lay down the cards in the order she gives you her numbers. So, count from the top of your deck to the 37th card and lay it down. Start back from the top and count to the 16th card and lay it down. Start again at the top and count to the eighth card and lay it down. Then read for Ivana.
I think this will be a really great time for you and an exercise in intuition and the querent's intent. I'm going over to the testing grounds to try it out. I hope you like it and if you try it out let me know how it works. Doing a distance reading this way will make your querent feel more involved; it will make them an active participant, not just a "sitter".
Note - it just occurred to me that this is a three card reading. If your querent chooses number seventy-five through seventy-eight, you will have to lay that card out first. You can't take away any cards and be left with the whole deck. I know you all know that, but I'm the one that's slow.
