5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best, December 6, 1999

By 

Tanya Tolstoy "T.Tolstoy" (St. Paul, Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards (Hardcover)

I have "read" cards for myself, and for others professionally for many years. In this pursuit, I have used a variety of cards. However, I found that this deck, and the method described in the accompanying book was the best I have ever encountered. It allows for multiple permutations and combinations..and the accuracy rate is incredible..Would highly recommend..

Additionally, the art work is incredibly beautiful as well..and Touchkoff's down to earth use of Russian Proverbs is charming and realistic.

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy to use, accurate system for telling your fortune, January 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards (Hardcover)

I have used the Russian Gypsy Fortune telling cards off and on for several years. It is accurate and easy to use -- there is nothing to memorize, this system is straight forward. They are beautiful, artistic cards with 1/2 pictures on them. You lay out the cards and see if you have any "joined" pictures. Then you look up the meaning in the book.

The book and the meaning of the cards are written in a down to earth style, It is also spiced with Russian folk sayings such as "Love isn't like a potato, you can't throw it out the window". If you are looking for something that is a bit exotic, but easy to use and follow, order this. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars New cards are very 'flimsy', January 29, 2004

By

This review is from: Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards (Hardcover)

I originally bought this set in 1996, they are fantastic colourful picture cards with a really good detailed description as to the meaning of each.

Due to 'overuse' they were a bit tired so I ordered a new set, unfortunately the quality of the new cards is much lower than they were. The new cards are extremely thin and flimsy and are easily bent, they certainly will not stand the test of time for usage. This is a shame.
