Tarot
A tool of faith, a key to wisdom

For the first time ever, Anchor Tarot introduces a revolutionary concept:

Not only does it feature close-range invisible marks, but it also incorporates long-range visual invisible marks.

Even from 3 meters away, you can still easily read the marks.

Thanks to this groundbreaking design, whether you're a magician or a medium, you can use it to unleash the Tarot's unprecedented power!

You'll instantly identify the position and identity of every card, letting you focus on delivering a natural, authentic, and deeply compelling performance.

Whether you're a beginner or an expert, a magician or a medium-this is a must-have.

It's the perfect fusion of ancient mysticism and modern magical craftsmanship.

This is the most powerful Tarot marking system ever created. Drawing on the traditional essence of the Rider-Waite Tarot, Anchor Tarot will be your ultimate secret weapon.

With Faith. We see.


Q&A

Q: Is this a complete set of Tarot cards? How many cards are there in total?
A: It includes the complete Major Arcana and Minor Arcana, totaling 78 Tarot cards. It also comes with two special Tarot cards, namely: a double-sided card (The Magician and The Wheel of Fortune) and a double-backed card.

Q: Is the size of the cards standard for Tarot?
A: Exactly. It uses the standard Tarot size: 70mm x 120mm.

Q: What's the difference compared to other Tarot cards?
A: Xinmao Tarot features a classic Rider-Waite Tarot design on the front, with wide applications and excellent practicality. The back boasts an original visual long-distance marking design, while traditional close-range markings are still hidden within. It is highly practical whether at a distance or close up.

Q: What is the recognition distance for the markings? Are they easy to recognize? Does it require a lot of memorization?
A:
1. The average recognition distance for the markings is approximately 3 meters.
2. Using the symbol association method, they are very easy to recognize-once you know how, you can spot them at a glance; if you don't, you won't be able to find them.
3. Thanks to the symbol association method, it significantly reduces the amount of memorization needed. It is very intuitive, and everything aligns perfectly with human intuition.

Quotes:

"Many of you know I am not fond of Tarot trickery. Most mentalists and magicians don't know symbols enough to do anything with Tarot. This Tarot deck is worth having because the marks are easy and ingenious. You won't have to memorize a whole Tarot deck to know the markings. You don't have to put on glasses to read tiny marks. You can read the marks up close, or from a distance. I prefer the distance markings most. This deck is well thought out and easy to understand as well as use. If you want to really know Tarot quickly, you can study my works on my website. If you want to read Tarot from the backs quickly, no matter what your eyesight, this deck works wonderfully!"
- Kenton Knepper

"Your cards are the best of all the marking tarot cards that exist now. I have all the marking tarot cards, but this is the best."
- Charming Choi

"This is really great! I love it"
- Lewis Le Val

The Anchor Tarot review by Richard Osterlind:

"As I told my friend, Eron Luo, I personally do not do any work with Tarot Cards, however I did want to look these over and review the quality of the cards for those who do. First of all, the quality of the box alone is wonderful. It opens at the top, like the old fashioned card cases, and is made from a very heavy cardboard that should easily last as long as the cards themselves. It is a fitting presentation for Tarot workers who treat their cards with great respect.Next, the cards themselves. They are beautiful! They are perfectly cut and have a classy dark blue linen finish and a great feel! They cry out quality! The pictures are also wonderful. They are not at all gaudy, but rather have a mysterious look that fits right in with their use. But the real secret of this deck are the markings. Eron has come up with a great variety of hidden symbols that are ingenious and will tell you the card from the back from either far away or up close: all without fear of the secret becoming known. In addition, the reason it is called the "Anchor" deck is because those markings take you right to the identity of the card directly without any memory work. If you work with the Tarot and know the symbols, you will have it down in 10 minutes. Eron even has other markings to tell you whether the card is upside down or right side up. He has thought of everything. Even if you don't use these cards for readings, you can do revelations alone that will appear amazing.To finish, I don't know how much these cards will cost, but I can tell you now they are worth it. I have seen many Tarot decks over the years and none come close to the quality and ingenuity of the Anchor Tarot. I give this deck my very highest recommendation."

Ever since Outlaw Effects put out the Carnie Tarot many of us have been searching in vain for a complete marked tarot deck. I personally was one of the people that Outlaw Effects ripped off. Rick Roth owes me well over $100! He said that he was mentally ill and could not complete the project. This did not stop him from selling the Carnie Tarot to another company who would not honor his orders. I am obviously very upset about this still, but I digress.

I would like to say straight up from the beginning that neither the markings on the Anchor Tarot nor on the Phil Smith Bunica Tarot deck are obvious. The Phil Smith Bunica deck must be read from the side. It is not easy to read and should be saved for small intimate settings. The Anchor Tower is easier to read. Please keep in mind that both the marks on the Phil Smith Bunica Tarot and the Anchor Tarot deck show up much better on camera than they do in person. (That’s the one problem with the optical marking system.) In fact, both require decent lighting. This is not a problem just put a small light on the table you reading the cards from. The Phil Smith deck uses the Rider Waite artwork. The Anchor Deck uses artwork that is “inspired by“ Rider Waite.

The printing on the Anchor system is far too dark for my taste. It should have been reprinted. It is a shame. Because it could’ve been a great deck. Now, as it stands, it is just so-so.

Neil Tobin has a very good marking system available from this Penguin Magic. I have adapted his system for use with the Robin Wood Tarot Deck. The Robin Wood deck has a design on the back with Celtic Knots. This design lends itself to Tobin’s system. I would put out my version of the marking system, but it simply borrows too much from Tobin’s. Neil Tobin even provides you with a very easy way to remember the major arcana.

The Bunica Tarot even has a brief reading for each card hidden in the marketing system and written on the other side. It has a wonderful design and a great deal of effort was put into the deck and the instructional video. It comes with a box within a box. This way your audience does not need to see a box which reads “Bunica Tarot.” This is not the case with the Anchor System. This is another lesson that the people who produced the Anchor Tarot could have learned from Phil Smith. Do you really want your audience googling the deck and finding out you’re using a marked deck? Once again, this should not be a problem because I have never seen a professional Tarot card reader take their cards out of the box. Go to Amazon or Etsy and order a Tarot bag or a wrap for your deck.

When doing a Tarot reading, you should not try to read the back of every card. Instead, try to give a more general reading. For example, if you see the Wheel of Fortune, you might want to say luck, will play a fate in your future. Before you turn over the cards, if you see the Emperess and one or two Queens, you might wish to say, “I see a great gathering of women.“ Phil Smith has some great ideas on his instructional video. Please support Phil Smith. He is a creator, mystery performer and thoughtful writer.

To the makers of the Anchor Tarot, you should have thrown out the entire print run and started over. It’s a shame that you turned out a poorly printed deck and a slapped together a video in an attempt to make a quick buck.

Unfortunately, my search for the best full marked Tarot Deck continues.
