Das Tarot von Prag. Limitierte Auflage GROSSFORMAT mit Holzschatulle.

The Tarot of Prague became a classic almost as soon as it was published. Voted "Deck of the Year" on Aeclectic Tarot Forum  in 2003, and in the Top Ten in 2004, and it seems to have steadily grown in reputation in the years since.

It's a deck that combines beautiful artwork with readability, history, and a touch of humour. It's since built a reputation as a "special" deck, that seems to carry layers of magic and meaning when it's used. 

This time they come in a sturdy wooden box, specially commissioned for them and made in Czechia - the quality is lovely. The box is designed to fit the cards almost exactly, so that they won't move around when in the box.

The new edition is in a very large size 165 * 100 mm (about 6.5 * 4 inches) and is overlaid with metallic cold stamping. We design the overlay for each card by hand, with great attention to detail. 

It comes in a sturdy wooden hinged box and includes, as our thank-you gift, a free pure silk-satin exclusive scarf that you can use for wrapping your deck, or simply to wear or display. This scarf is of "designer" quality and would normally sell for $45 in our shop.

It also features an additional two new cards, which you can swap in as you prefer in use, to make your deck more unique and personal to you.

This is a Limited Edition over-sized deck and only 750 will be released for sale (the whole run is 900, but we are reserving 150 for use on our Magic Prague tours).

Update! Due to Covid, we can't do tours and it's hard to predict how soon we can resume. Therefore we have now released for sale some of the 150 that we were keeping back for tours. So instead of selling 750 of the 900 run here on the shop, we will be selling more like 850, and only keeping 50 or so for tours.
