« What proof do we have that our life is not a dream? Can art do without rules? Does it depend on us to be happy? »

In essence, philosophy is at the heart of each. The mentalist Fred Darevil understood this, and it is with a question of this style that it generally starts the presentation of an effect using its Philodeck.

« You start by mixing the two halves of the game separately while thinking of a personal question you want an answer. You then return the cards two by two and the first complete quote that appears is the response of the Oracle. If none appears, you mix the cards again and start again. The firm the quote, the firm the answer. If you don't get any after three trials, it is recommended to take the time to think about your question and consult the Oracle again a few days later. »
From there, you can present Many routines. Here are the ones that are detailed in the book:
- A spectator chooses a card in one of the half, the card located at the same rank in the other half completes the quote!
- A spectator chooses a card, she completes the quote on your prediction card!
