Summary: Get the ultimate home Horoscope & Tarot instead!
Review: ... the website is so much better, I thought they would be identical but they're not even close. I was thoroughly disappointed with the generic translations and quality of the software, screen cannot be minimized. But I was even more upset when I found out this software is included in the ultimate home Horoscope & Tarot software. After my tarot magic experience I'm pretty anti-software as far as tarot readings go, but if you must have it, you may as well get it with a bunch of other stuff for free. I actually got my Horoscope & Tarot software at [a local store for a good price], so I saved money and got more.

Summary: Beware!
Review: Amazon.com is calling this a "catalog error." The product does not run as described. Save your money.

Summary: I'm an experienced Tarot reader...
Review: And I think this is a fine peice of work. With all tarot readings, it may not be completly 1000% accurate, but it does hit the nail on the head a lot. Get it in the package with other softwar, considering how good this company is. Also, the different selecions of decks and spreads and the narration is very very nice.

I've been working with Tarot for years, and I do enjoy this software.

Summary: Tarot Magic ...an awesome accomplishment
Review: I am very pleased with Tarot Magic. It is educational, fun and easy to use and the decks it offers are exquisite. You can also use your own favorite hands on deck. I have studied the Tarot since the sixties and I find the interpetations to be very well presented and accurate. I have tried other software on this subject and feel comfortable in saying that there is nothing available that can compare to The Tarot Magic software program. All in all it is a wonderful package for a exceptionally fair price.

Summary: New age Tarot reading!
Review: I bought this CD through an ad and was pleasantly surprised. I especially liked the option to choose from various decks and spreads. I've been reading cards for about 7 years but my mother has been reading them for ages and she admitted they were very accurate.

What I liked:

* Variety of spread and cards

* Assistance with wording the queries

* Visual display of cards and meanings

* Scroll down ability within the cards meanings

* How many times the cards have been shuffled (or the age of the deck which is important to tarot readers)

* Completion Indicator of shuffled cards.. ie, 78%, 98%, 100%

What I didn't like:

* Saving the files into a word document to send to friends who requested readings via e-mail. Not only do you have to save it to a Word Document (or similiar) but the pictures of the cards were not downloadable, unless you used another program type. ie; .jpg, .bmp, etc. It became too complicated.

* Once the reading was over you had to exit out all the way out to the parchment to change the spread and rewrite the same question.

* Only one option for shuffling the cards may be used at a time. An individual can't shuffle AND cut the deck at the same time. You have to change the option each time. A small detail, but for tarot readers, ensuring the cards have been well shuffled is a must! Without wasting the time it takes to accomplish it.

Other than that.. it was relatively simple to use. I was a bit skeptical in the beginning but it proved to be worth the money! Enjoy!

Summary: Disapointed
Review: I guess you get what you pay for but I was very disappointed with Tarot Magic.
First was the packaging, there is no manual, only a PDF file so I had to print that out. OK, if you have a printer, bad if you get the software Friday night and have to wait until Monday to use the printer at work, or go down to the Printers and pay more money to have one made for you. Having to flip back and forth between screens to figure out what should be a simple program is both time consuming and aggravating.

There is a wealth of information in other essays on the cards and Tarot in general but again all in PDF files. This info is probably the same information as in the numerous other books on Tarot I already have, but if you are very new to Tarot then it will be a great place to start reading.
Next is the graphics, very "cheesy" as my 14 YO daughter called it. Part of this "comic book" look (my comment) is the tiresome navigation. I did find the pull downs and that helped but would have liked a more professional look as apposed to a kid's game feel. Also, I cannot see the cards very well in a spread because they are so small, there is no option to enlarge the screen or make the cards bigger.
Finally, the primary reason I bought Tarot Magic was it is touted as a resource for reading a specific card on a specific position in a given spread. Well that would be all fine and dandy if I were able to use a menu to do this. But Tarot Magic required me to go to the card table, fan the deck, find the card and place it in a position. OK, again, I was looking for a resource, not a game. Reversals are a real problem in this mode too. The manual claims that when you pick a card for a position you simply select "reverse card" in the deal menu. It doesn't tell you that to do this you have to have the card placed in a spread, then select it to read, then select it to be reversed, then you can read the reversed meaning. Again, having a menu to do a lot of this would add a more professional look and speed the process up a whole bunch.
I do need to say something positive about Tarot Magic. If you are very new to Tarot reading or just want to have the program to have it so you can "Impress your friends with "expert" Tarot readings" (direct quote from owner's manual) at your next slumber party then this is a nice economical program that you should get.
If you are have any experience in reading Tarot and are looking for support software then pass this one up.

Summary: Tarot program for the Tarot Reader
Review: I have been reading Tarot for about 7 years now. I am told that I am very accurate, when I read for clients. However, I am blocked when I try to read for myself. Honestly, I didn't expect much from this... I've read the little books that come with tarot decks...I pretty much ignore them, they are just not as good as reading from intuition. However, this program hits the nail on the head every time. Both for myself and I've tried it on a few clients for "fun" to see if it corresponded with my readings. Well, I was really dumbfounded, it did. And I'm lock in step with this program now, I use it mostly for my own personal readings, but when I need more depth in reading a clients I will turn to Tarot Magic, to see what I'm missing.It's outstanding. I thought it a bit pricy at first, but not at all...WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!-- Love it -- Rain

Summary: Well worth the money!
Review: I have tried every tarot program I could find, all of which were disappointing. Tarot Magic, however, more than made up for my previous disappointments -- it was far beyond what I envisioned as an ideal tarot program. The graphics are spectacular, the program is very easy to use, and you even have the option of having the spread explained to you by voice! Spreads can be saved in a beautiful journal to look at again later. My friend is a professional card reader and she was very impressed with the program.
