If you use tarot in performance, you already know the problem: you want the cards to feel authentic, but you also want to stay present. No squinting. No long “reading the backs” moments. No breaking eye contact at the exact point the tension should build.

Our Marked Tarot Majors gives you a working set of the 22 Major Arcana on bridge-sized cards, with markings designed to be fast, natural, and practical whether you’re doing close-up readings, parlour demonstrations, or weaving tarot into a full routine.

“I have many tarot decks but these are the ones I always carry”

Why performers are picking Marked Tarot Majors
Two marking styles to suit your venue and taste: Reader or Discreet
Bridge-sized cards that handle easily and travel well
Three classic deck options with distinct character and tone
Printed in the UK on 310 gsm playing card stock
Optional hand-stitched leather case for everyday carry

Use in performance
These are built for real reading conditions. The marks are there for quick, casual confirmations, not prolonged looks. The Reader system is designed to be glanceable when you need speed and certainty. The Discreet system is for tighter conditions where you want the marks to stay as hidden as possible. Either way, your hands stay relaxed and the moment stays on the participant.

Deck options
Rider–Waite–Smith: the familiar 1909 imagery most people recognise
1895 Besançon: historic French flavour with a different visual feel
Abner Doubleday: drawn from a nineteenth-century manuscript for a more esoteric tone
