So gratifying to get this deck into the right hands! -- Oz, I appreciate those design props! To answer your question, though some of the deck design was inspired by an old set of "flashcards" from Lily Dale, I did all the design, image sourcing and typo myself. So glad to hear that you dig it. It took some time to get it all just right, but I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist with these things. Plus, there's nothing like a little pandemic to give a fella the elbow room to work out a project. I just sent you a message via theseanceoracle.com (sometimes the spam filter slaps us down, so check there too). It includes download instructions and password for the extensive deck manual (includes reading insights and card perspectives from myself, BC Smith, and Hannibal). Packing your deck up for the Monday shipment! Thanks again, Perks Thank you sir. I can't wait. Well, I'm impressed. Not sure if you have any formal design training, but if you do, it shows. And if you don't, well, you have an aesthetic that is appreciated. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

I would love to join the party! I hope to have good news on that front soon, my friend! You know how it is though, if I promise a date it won't work out that way. I'll hazard to say this: I hope to have wholesale partner in place next month. There. I said it. Perkins The Séance Party http://www.theseanceparty.com
PROF BC Inner circle 1445 Posts	Posted: Jan 22, 2024 03:36 pm 3 I had a chance to see this in development and acquired one of the first off the press. It is a honey of a deck. The images alone are enough to create the atmosphere. A breeze to understand. Easy to get into. The cards are intuitive, but if you have a Tarot (or Talking Board) background they are all the more effective. Leave these out on a table, and you have a genuine conversation starter . . . the reading (and evening) will just evolve from there. Highly recommended. BC Phasmologist

Wizard of Oz Inner circle Most people wish I didn't have 5162 Posts	Posted: Jan 27, 2024 01:03 am 5 I opened my deck tonight and just slowly shook my head. Not out of disappointment, or disgust, or disapproval, but out of pure jealousy. As a designer, I wish I could put out something so carefully considered. Perkins, you say that you "may be a bit of a perfectionist" which I would suggest, is a bit of an understatement. You are indeed a pure perfectionist, and it shows. The imagery... consistently curated throughout in style and content. The design... again, cohesive in structure and application throughout the deck. The feel... ah. So nice to know that the tactile sense has not been overlooked. I know paper. I know how to sell using texture and feel. And you nailed it with this deck. The surface. The weight. The handling. Good God man, I want to cuddle this deck I adore it so much. Embrace your perfectionism. It can be a curse. It can be an enemy. But it can also lead to this. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Perkins Special user 950 Posts	Posted: Jan 27, 2024 11:01 pm 3 Oz, my man. Thank you so very much for this. You have validated my obsessions and enabled my further descent into mania. Sincerely though, I truly appreciate your support and recognition here. The Séance Oracle has been on the burner for forever. What a genuinely gratifying feeling to find that work appreciated. Anything you need, hit me up. Cuddle up, Perkins The Séance Party http://www.theseanceparty.com
dorian_faust Loyal user Los Angeles, California 274 Posts	Posted: Jan 29, 2024 05:41 pm 3 I recently saw a seance by the fantastic performer Smith down here in Southern California, and he used Perkins' Séance Oracle as a part of the show! I have been eyeing this deck for a while, and now that I've been able to see it in person and feel it with my own hands I can guarantee that I'll be purchasing it as soon as my next paycheck comes in
