Romany Queen Fortune Telling Cards (Australian, No Date)

One of my friends asked for a reading tonight. She had two yes/no questions, so I selected a deck with which I could get a yes/no answer easily.

Pictured nearby is a scan of the box and a few of the cards; I just realized I didn't scan the reverse side of the cards. They look like standard playing cards from the back; the backs are red and white scrolly patterned.

I don't know how old this deck is, but it was made in Australia and I bought it from an Australian.

She had two questions: the first was about a psychic she had seen, and the prediction made. She was curious whether the prediction would be true. The second one was about a trip she wanted to make, and whether or not she would be able to go.

For the first one, I pulled the nine of hearts and the nine of spades, and laid them out on the table next to each other, face up. I chose a queen of hearts to represent my friend (since the prediction was a matter of the heart), and I shuffled the pack, thinking about the prediction made by the psychic. After I felt the cards were shuffled enough, I cut the cards in two packs, placing one in front of the nine of hearts, and the other in front of the nine of spades. I placed my hands over them and asked one more time, then looked in the pile in front of the nine of hearts. If the queen of hearts appeared in that pile, she would have a yes answer to her question.

For the second one, I pulled the nine of diamonds and the nine of spades, and used the queen of diamonds to represent her (since it was more of a matter of money and opportunity than a matter of the heart), and did the same thing.

In both cases, the indicator card appeared in the "yes" pile.
