You tell a story of a young girl who lives on a lonely wild moor. As she grows up, she is regarded as ‘strange’ by people in the local village. Eventually they accuse her of cavorting with The Devil himself and say that she is Satan’s Mistress.
She is falsely accused of murdering her father and is abducted by villagers and taken to be buried alive on the moor. She asked for one last request – to take her special cards with her. However, they said in torment that she could only choose one card. She was forced chose just one Tarot, her favourite, which she clutched as she was nailed inside a makeshift coffin which was then buried alive in an unmarked location.
As she was being buried, she cried out a curse against the first person to throw earth onto her coffin, she vowed to haunt them and all their generations that come after. Hesitatingly the mob decides to all throw the first earth down together. But of course, one piece of earth hit the coffin lid first, and ever since one person in every generation that followed is haunted by the soul of Satan’s Mistress.
You act out the story with your volunteer. They choose a face-down Tarot card. Unseen by you or them. They remove that Tarot from the deck. They place it in the Tarot card box to represent the coffin. They then place the box into a black velvet bag representing the grave.
You look them in the eye and say that if they chose the same card as the young girl did, then they must be next in line to be haunted!
You then say that the Tarot chosen by the girl was (name the Tarot). They confirm that this was indeed the Tarot that they also chose. You commiserate them and now move onto your next victim!
Your volunteer has a free choice of card, which can be different every time. No sleight of hand as a gimmick does all of the work for you.
