I used to mess around with Tarot cards ages ago. Completely useless when it came to actual predictions, great at convincingly fake ones. And helping when I was stuck on a story (these days I generally ramble on other people's livejournals).
Oh, they're totally bogus. But if I were the sort of person who could do it (a) with a clear conscience and (b) without laughing, I could probably make a nice living as a card reader. But I'm not. Dammit.
The Vertigo deck is lovely, however. I sold my Giant Size X-Men #1 to pay for the first version, and have never regretted it.
Same here. I played with them in high school, and discovered that if I put on the predictive manner, people tend to believe me.
And like I said, doing a card reading for characters is a great way to deal when I'm stuck on a story. Because either it's applicable, which gives me a hint, or I can come up with a specific reason why it isn't, which also gives me a hint.
I'm really only interested in the art. Otherwise bogus as Ann says. But Ann does some of the most amazing bogus readings ever....until one of us breaks down in giggles.
