REVIEWS
"I got this yesterday and have started the study and have to say it's quite brilliant. I've read cards of one form or another for 20 years after learning initially from the Joe Riding course, but for various reasons, I was looking for something to help me sharpen my skills - and this more than does the trick.
When I started doing readings, a number of clients would tell me of a mystical sounding old man who read from "ordinary cards". The impression given to these women was that reading ordinary cards was somehow more skillful and impressive than tarot. Playing card readings rock, and playing cards predate tarot and are, in my book, purer and more mysterious than tarot."

"What a great system. Always in the easily understood clear writing format you'd expect from Julian. I have Julian's other books, and for me, this is one of the best. I always have a deck of cards and certainly the places I frequent there are cards as well. The fact that you can use a few cards or more to create a simple or more complex reading is terrific. Make it as long or short as you'd like. Julian's audiobook (available from his site) is also top notch! Lots of valuable audio to listen to. His metaphors and memory links make sense and they work."

Julian Moore is a composer, songwriter, music producer, author and mentalist. Interested in all things strange from an early age, his writing took a back seat to his musical endeavours until fairly recently, when he embarked on a writing spree revolving around the practice of giving 'readings' - palmistry, graphology, cartomancy and the pseudo-sciences behind them such as 'cold reading'. Julian is now embarking on a series of novels which should be available in the not too distant future. One involves an adventure with some dogs in a region of India. Another surrounds the haunting of a student pianist. There could be some others that deal with a little girl and her friends who discover some strange abilities. Who knows. In the meantime you can read his current crop of factual books available here and from The Cold Reading Company, or check out his band Georgia Wonder at their website or on YouTube.
