c1780s FORTUNE TELLING / MAGIC CARDS - (missing 9H, 9D and JH - two direction cards, and red wheel of Fortune) - So this consists of 45/48 playing cards (Numbered from 2 to 13) + 1of 2 wheel of fortune (we believe from the directions there are only two) + 2 of 4 Direction (Instructions)+ 4/4 blanks (this appear to have been used as aces as the suit symbol has been penciled on very light- possibly avoiding the heavy tax by not having aces if the cards were used as playing cards) The directions mention the oracle at Delphi and that "the oracle of Delphos commanded to exclude the 4 aces" and the interpretation being done by a "conjurer" - The Court cards are French Style - Jacks have Fleur de Lils between their feet - black Jacks feathers in their hats - King of Clubs holds Cross of Lorraine - Diamonds and Hearts are red stenciled cards (including court cards) but excluding borders - Each card has a four line fortune at the base - a couple of the cards are slightly wrinkled as if they were not put on the card correctly but otherwise the condition is excellent.- The wheel of fortune is prick to select the cards which then reveal your fortune.
