Part storytelling, part sideshow, part sorcery. All unforgettable. A group of eclectic artists create variety show acts, each inspired by the Tarot mythos. Each act is interactive, performed for and with one adventurous (consenting) audience member. What happens next is entirely honest, and made together so it never happens the same way twice. |

Some Turns of Phrase
Here's how the evening goes. When the adventurous willing arrive (after their Sacrifice) they are dealt a card at random by our Master of Ceremonies, The Fool. When that card is called, Seekers are brought to our throne, and invited by their Medium to partake in an entertainment created just for them. A Revelation.

Sacrifices
In order to enter The Tarot Reading, you must offer a sacrifice to whichever Gods will have you. This sacrifice can be monetary, but it doesn't have to be. The only requirement is that it be something of value...your mom's bread recipe, that photo in your wallet, the secret you share with your middle school best friend. Whatever it is, it has to be something you are willing to part with forever. Remember, all magic comes at a cost. We promise we'll keep it safe. |
The Fool
The Fool is your host for the evening. The keeper of the cards, this court's jester, the Master of Ceremonies. The Fool changes from time to time, but you can always trust they will get you where you need to go. 
|
Seekers
That's you all. The willing, the adventurous, those hungry for a singular experience. A Seeker is anyone looking for magic. A Seeker is anyone looking to be captivated. Most importantly, a Seeker is anyone looking for a Revelation. If you choose to be a Seeker, you'll get a random Tarot card at entry. You'll witness the night unfold, and when your card is drawn you'll get to take part in that act made special for you. |
|
Mediums
Mediums are the Seven, the channelers of magic, the entertainers of all stripes. Each Medium takes three of the twenty-one major arcana and creates a mystical, whimsical show for one and many. |
Revelations
Revelations are what happens once a Medium channels a card. They are the acts, the show, the entertainment. A Revelation always follows three rules - it is always inviting, it is always adventurous, and it is always captivating. |
Witnesses
That's you all, too. Witnesses are Seekers in plural, but they also include the defiantly curious. Witnesses are lovers of spectacle, whimsy, and hungry for an evening of mystical delight. If you choose to be a Witness, you'll get to watch the Seekers get their Revelations from the comfort of your seat in the lounge. |
Nine Card Draw is performance of only of nine acts, where Seekers are drawn at random from the willing. Choose these shows if you like your entertainments short and sweet, or maybe if you're curious about the show but only want a tasting portion.
When you arrive, you will be given tokens unique to you. Before we begin, you may commit a token to whichever Revelations captivate you most. When a Revelation is called, we'll draw a token at random and that Revelation's Seeker will be found. Of course, if you would prefer, you may keep your tokens and witness the show without being chosen.
