I once met a woman at a party who said she could Devine who I was in 7 cards and my future in 9. All I had to do was take her cards, shuffle them 3 times, cut the cards into 4 stacks in 2x2 configuration, restack the deck, shuffle once, cut the cards once, set tbe deck down. All of which I did. As she reached for the deck I blurted out, "They'll tell us who you are first and then that my future is hidden." She held the cards for just a moment then started to deal, first 4 cards in 2 over 2 configuration followed by 3 vertically to the right, and stopped. Glancing up at me she dealt 2 cards vertically to the left of the 4. Looking down at the lay she calmly asked, "How did you know?".

"I'm ten-thousand years older than your mother's maiden name, and I was old even then. To show you, reveal a fan of the next seven cards to see who I am."

She slowly laid the next seven cards like a fan above the original lay. As the last card was laid down she gasped and gathered all the cards together, got up and left the party without saying another word.

I know what the cards were telling me, but I've always wondered what see saw in the story of the cards.
